"Wonderful Safari Experience"
My husband and I just finished this tour with Andrew Yaweh as our guide. We had an amazing experience. Saw so many animals and learned so much about Uganda from Andrew. The gorilla trekking was an unbelievable unique and rewarding experience to be so close to these amazing animals. Andrew was an expert driver and fun companion. He made sure we saw so many animals and special parts of this amazing country as well as engaging in great conversations!
