Dream gorilla & chimp adventure—personalized, professional, and beyond expectations
I went on a four-day private gorilla and chimpanzee trek that started in Kigali, Rwanda, passed through Uganda, and ended back in Kigali. The experience was fantastic from start to finish.
Edison was incredibly responsive—he took the time to tailor the trip to my budget and schedule, guided me through the visa process, and was flexible with last-minute schedule changes. His attention to detail made planning easy and stress-free, and he patiently answered my endless questions at all hours of the day.
The gorilla trek was truly a dream come true. My driver, Herbert, was equally wonderful—safe, thoughtful, and genuinely enjoyable to spend time with. He went above and beyond to make the trip comfortable, even helping me get medicine after a wasp sting. He also took the time to prep me for each experience—the gorilla trek, chimpanzee trek, and the boat tour—so I knew what to expect and could get the most out of each activity. His care and effort made the journey even more memorable.
Overall, I would highly recommend Bamboo Ecotours to anyone considering this kind of trip. They offer a professional, personalized experience that really makes you feel taken care of.

Volcanoes Golden Monkey trek, Bwindi Gorillas, Kalinzu Chimp trekking - 5 day tour RWANDA and UGANDA
I cannot speak highly enough of my trip to Rwanda/Uganda organised through Bamboo Eco Tour company. From the moment I considered booking, throughout the whole process I received very good communication about the book process and what to prepare for and expect on my trip. Thank you Edison!
As for the trip, I had totally the best driver/tour guide for the entire trip. Amanya was amazing. It was great to have his local knowledge and he was both attentive and I felt very safe as a lone female traveller.
I had the best time and will definitely consider returning to Uganda. My next rip would also include visiting Murchison Falls/NP.
Thanks again - Amanya and Bamboo Eco Tours.
I loved my trip every single day!

One of the best vacations we ever had!
We had the best time during this tour! All the organization part was done with Edison via email, who was always very responsive.
Arriving in Rwanda, we were picked up by our guide/drive Jackson, who did a tremendous job driving us around, telling us about both countries and making sure our dietary restrictions were being considered. The itinerary was perfect! We felt we did a lot without feeling tired. We cannot recommend this tour and agency enough! Definitely a vacation to remember forever.

Amazing agency!
It was a fantastic experience, very well organized. From the moment I contacted Edison, they were professional and very kind. They fulfilled all our requests without any problems. The trip organization was impeccable, punctual and precise in everything. The gorilla and chimpanzee trekking were among the most beautiful experiences of our lives. The country has incredible landscapes and fabulous people. Our choice of lodges, based on the options given, was spot on. They were very beautiful and we ate deliciously. My husband and I definitely recommend them for this experience. You won't regret it!
