My Dec 2016 trip
Rwanda and 2 other countries between 31 Dec 2016 and 14 Jan 2017
"As a whole, the trip was fabulous. With Elizabeth's help in the planning stage, I believe that we created a trip with the appropriate number of stops ( not too many) and a perfect mix of interesting, different locations.
The logistics of the vacation were excellent. There was not a single "hitch" in any of our transfers. Each and every guide/driver was gracious, efficient ---- a pleasure to be with.
Thank you for helping to create a great adventure."

Sabyinyo Silverback Lodge
"Sabyinyo Silverback Lodge review"
2 nights
Arrived
2 Jan 2017
"A perfect environment for the purpose of our visit to Rwanda, the gorilla trekking.
The staff was a pleasure to be with, willing to make suggestions for activities to compliment the trekking.
Would strongly recommend this lodge to other guests.
We arranged a private guide for this trip, and these travellers commented:
Simba was an excellent guide/companion. Logistically, he was on time, fully aware of the mechanics of our trip, well able to direct our daily schedule. He was a pleasure to be with, extremely knowledgeable, fully able/willing to discuss the many questions/concerns that we had with Rwanda.
At our request, Simba helped facilitate our visit to the Genocide Museum, a stop that we thought imperative to the understanding of Rwanda."

Olakira
"Olakira review"
3 nights
Arrived
5 Jan 2017
"Staff was excellent, very pleasurable to be with. Game drives were great, though quite honestly, the game viewing, aside from the wildebeests and zebras, was a bit underwhelming (in comparison to a previous trip to Botswana).
The staff and attentiveness at this camp was spectacular. The "mobile," somewhat "rustic" aspects of this camp were definitely enjoyable.
The staff neglected to give us an Asilia game drive diary book, an omission that we missed."

The Highlands
"The Highlands at Ngorongoro review"
3 nights
Arrived
8 Jan 2017
"This new camp was fabulous! Clearly, the drive to the crater, and then to the Highlands, was long and bumpy. But upon our arrival, we knew that this facility and location made the trip worthwhile.
The facilities, including the "guest rooms," were spectacular. The food was a step above the other locations (especially the lunches).
The "activities" here were remarkable. Our day in the crater was amazing! We then hiked into the crater, also very exciting, and visited a Massei village. Just driving through the "countryside" was also so very interesting."
