An incredible gorilla trekking experience that I will never forget thanks to Musana Tours and Travel - The planning of the tour could not have been better tailored to my rather tight time frame of just 4 days. This short time was perfectly organized and went exactly that way. Starting with the pick-up at the airport, all transfers, lodges and of course the gorilla trekking itself. The communication was absolutely smooth and uncomplicated and an individual request of mine was also taken into account, which was definitely not part of the standard tour (namely the city visit in Kigali before going back to the airport). All of this was also at the cheapest price of all the offers that I had looked at more closely. I would also like to briefly mention which lodges I stayed in, namely "Bweza Gorilla Lodge" and "Lake Bunyonyie Eco Resort". Because these lodges were also simply fabulous! With super friendly staff, delicious food and fantastic rooms. I would also like to say a special thank you to Matiya, because he got me everywhere safely and quickly and was a great companion. All in all, I can 100 percent recommend Musana Tours And Travel! I always felt like I was in great hands, both Richard and the entire team were not only very polite and courteous, you could chat with them about everything and have a lot of fun. I would like to thank you for this wonderful experience and for making my short trip unforgettable. Big compliments!
