“We booked the tour for the two of us and had to get into contact with the tour operator in regards to the permits for Uganda. This was all sorted in no time. The trip itself was amazing! We were picked up very early in the morning by Robert and taken to the border of Uganda. Robert supported us with immigration and then handed us over to Vincent who took us to the spot from where the gorilla trekking started. Apart from seeing the gorillas, the whole tour was organised perfectly and everybody worked together as a team. Thank you so much to Cosmos and his team, Erik and Bruce…”
