Amazing experience from start to finish
5/5

We had an amazing time with our guide Herbert! We had a great time every step of the way from the moment we were picked up. Hiking with the gorillas was UNREAL! We felt so lucky seeing them in their natural habitat.

Herbert was so helpful and accommodating. On our last day we wanted to hike with the golden monkeys but also needed to catch a flight that evening. Herbert made sure we were able to do both, and even made arrangements for us to have a quick shower after the trek at a nearby guesthouse.

Amazing experience, and an outstanding value
5/5

We are so happy we did the "10-Day Uganda and Rwanda Gorilla Wildlife Safari" with Bamboo Ecotours. Our pre-trip planning with Edison (the company director) was the best communication we've ever experienced in 42 years of traveling. This tour included a lot of nice extras that were not included in similarly priced tours offered by other companies. Our guide Herbert was awesome as well. He was always attentive to our needs and made us feel like family. Most importantly of all, Herbert has amazingly sharp vision and his years of experience allows him to spot animals that we would never have seen on our own. We would not hesitate to recommend booking a tour with Bamboo Ecotours to our friends and family.

Excellent Trip To A Beautiful Country
5/5

What a fantastic trip we had. From the communication and planning with Edison, tailored to our requirements. To our driver/guide Jackson, we felt in very safe hands and couldn’t have been treated any better. He had a great knowledge of the wildlife and explained what life was like in Rwanda. He was always on time and had a very friendly manner.
Rwanda is a very clean, lush and beautiful country. It was very interesting to see the hardworking locals and smiling kid’s faces on our travel.
I will never forget the day we came face to face with the mountain gorillas. The trek was about an hour long. We were able to get very close to these gentle giants. Such an amazing experience.

Comfortable and comprehensive 7-day tour in Rwanda and Uganda
5/5

We booked a 7-day tour with Bamboo Ecotours starting and finishing in Kigali, covering most of Rwanda's top sights and activities, with a quick detour to Uganda for the gorilla tracking. Our tour included visits to Bwindi Impenetrable Forest, Volcanoes NP, Lake Kivu, Nyungwe NP, and Akagera NP; we also made a stop at the Genocide Memorial in Kigali. Our guide Godfrey made sure we had a comfortable tour, with a friendly attitude, in-depth knowledge about the countries, and catering to our needs. During our tour, we always felt safe with our guide. I believe Bamboo Ecotours offers the best value for money for this kind of tours, as we managed to see and do a lot for a reasonable budget. Also, although we chose to stay at budget accommodation, most of the lodges were really nice and felt more like mid-range. Communication with Bamboo Ecotours was also very easy, both pre-tour and after our stay.

Great value for money.
5/5

Edison of Bamboo Ecotours is a nice person who will try to do his best to suit your needs. I went on a gorilla safari with my daughter and her fiancè. We loved the accomodation at the Da Vinci Lodge: large rooms, excellent cuisine and friendly staff. We chose to chase the Susan family of gorillas at VNP in Rwanda. It was a steep and hard climb worthy any single step. To look at a Silverback passing by staring at you from less than one meter is priceless.
