Fiona Jackson review 29 Mar 2023
1. What was the most memorable or exciting part of your vacation?
Only 3 of us on gorilla trek, two days running and we were successful both days2. What tips would you give other travelers booking this vacation?
Take appropriate footwear for gorilla trekking (not trainers/running shoes) and take clothes pegs and washing line (camping elastic one) so you can wash underwear (not washed by lodges). If you're visiting a Masai village take buttons or ribbons as gift.3. Did you feel that your vacation benefited local people, reduced environmental impacts or supported conservation?
We purposfully picked lodges which had a strong community engagement element and we also made visits to schools and communities4. Finally, how would you rate your vacation overall?
Fabulous vacation, well organised before and during the trip. Better than we could have imagined.William Todd review 26 Apr 2017
1. What was the most memorable or exciting part of your vacation?
Lots of memorable moments but the main aim of the trip was to see the gorillas, which we did.2. What tips would you give other travelers booking this vacation?
Unless you are flush, don't just accept the accommodation options offered - there are cheaper ones3. Did you feel that your vacation benefited local people, reduced environmental impacts or supported conservation?
All, by creating jobs and otherwise putting money into the economy where locals realise that they wouldn't be benefitting if it wasn't for the animals, so they'd better look after them. Though the usual concerns about who's actually getting the cream.4. Finally, how would you rate your vacation overall?
Excellent, though it would have been good if our driver had responded to my post-trip email asking for his views on a project that we'd visited.Holiday Reviews
You can trust Responsible Travel reviews because, unlike many other schemes, reviews can ONLY be written by people who we have verified have been on the holidays. In addition, we don't run these holidays ourselves - our only interest is giving you the best independent advice.
