It was my first time with my family to come to africa but we always wanted to see the gorillas. My 17year always wanted to track gorillas which he always forced me to watch on YouTube and eventually picked interest. We finally agreed to come to Uganda as it seemed a beautiful country and indeed it was with hospitable people. We booked with Wanderlust Africa Vacations and I must say, this is a professional company with experienced guides with a lot of humor and professionalism. We enjoyed our 3 days tour and also extended more 2 days to explore the source of the Nile in Jinja and also Kampala city night life. I recommend this company!
