[Kscf]

Anyone used any tour companies for gorilla trekking in Uganda and they loved it??

Planning for December and would love to hear some input. Rwandan side is a bit more expensive.

We went to the Sanctuary lodge in Bwindi Uganda. it was fabulous. there are cheaper alternatives.
Mrsdrron had fractured her ankle a couple of months before we went. the lodge arranged for her to be carried up to the gorillas in a sedan chair. She still didn't want to go but eventually did. They assigned 12 bearers to her. teams of 4 taking turns. She was afraid she would hold everyone up. In fact we held her up. they were just fabulous. The encounter with the gorillas was amazing.
I did do a TR but the photos have all disappeared.

If you go to Bwindi do drop into the hospital. A very isolated place but now has the largest Nursing school in Uganda.
