Awesome Experience

20-Sep-2022

I recommend 100%! The team is great, they accompanied me to book and plan my trip with my family. We rented a car with driver for 15 days, very comfortable and with sockets. The driver is very nice, a very good guide and great driver! I In addition to the national parks, we visited coffee and cocoa plantations and an association where they make paper from elephant dung. Thanks to Musoke, Catherine and the whole Ganyana team.
