Life changing adventure
It was so much fun. The hotels are decent for the price you pay. Never a dull moment and a beautiful Ugandan experience.

Easy to deal with, provides what have been promised.
We had a good safari with Bush craft safaris where we did everything according to the itinerary. Pick up and drop off were easily organised and the trip went smoothly.

Trip Review: 3-Day Golden Monkey & Gorilla Trek (Rwanda & Uganda)
Rating: 4.5/5 Stars
Overview
Just completed an incredible 3-day adventure tracking golden monkeys and mountain gorillas across Rwanda and Uganda with Bush Craft Safaris.
Starting and ending in Kigali, this fast-paced tour hit every major highlight and delivered unforgettable wildlife encounters. A special shoutout to our guide, David Kato, who helped make the experience fantastic.
Itinerary Highlights
Day 1 (Volcanoes National Park, Rwanda): Traveled from Kigali to Volcanoes National Park for golden monkey tracking. Stayed overnight at The Garden Place Hotel—comfortable, convenient, and set us up well for the journey into Uganda.
Day 2 (Mgahinga Gorilla National Park, Uganda): The main event! Trekking to see the mountain gorillas was a life-changing experience. We stayed at the Amajambere Iwacu Community Camp, which offered wonderful local hospitality and a great atmosphere, though the location turned out to be at a different park entrance than where our gorilla trek actually started.
Day 3 (Return to Kigali): Wrapped up the trip with a smooth transfer back across the border to Kigali.
Pros & Tips
Guide Service: David Keto was our friendly guide throughout the entire trip.
Unbeatable Wildlife: Seeing both golden monkeys and mountain gorillas in three days is a fantastic itinerary.
Note on Camp Location: While Amajambere Iwacu Community Camp is wonderful, double-check which gate your specific gorilla trek departs from to avoid extra travel time in the morning.
