Great tour operator, very experienced and capable
Fantastic trip booked directly with ATA. Nicholas owns and runs the company, he is very experienced, has great connections and looks after his staff. He was very responsive and helpful with planning and organising the trip. This involved flying in to Kigali, gorilla tracking in Bwindi and Mgahinga Parks in Uganda, and golden monkey tracking in Volcanoes Park in Rwanda. We also stayed by Lake Mutunga which was great for swimming and boat trips. The price was reasonable. It was helpful to confirm the exaction itinerary and bookings before-hand. Spending time with the gorillas in their natural habitat was an incredible experience.
Our driver / guide was Jovia who was brilliant and really helped the trip to be even more enjoyable. She was very pleasant to be with, and gave us a lot of interesting and helpful information, and made sure all the activities went smoothly. She is a very safe and competent driver and planned timings very well. It was also very interesting to get to know her a bit and hear about Rwanda and some of its history. She has led the way being one of the first female drivers / guides in Rwanda, and is a great role model.
Overall, this has been one of our best and most enjoyable trips, and we are very glad that we booked with Nicholas at ATA and were able to have Jovia to look after us.
