Exceptional service and experience!
End to end amazing service and high quality tour. Our organiser from Safari.com, Mel, hand held me through the entire booking and answered ant questions we had during our stay. Our local guide Edmond was incredible and went out of his way to make our experience great, including helping me find a pair of hiking boots since mine broke the day before the gorilla trekking. I would highly recommend booking with safari.com, very trustworthy and great communication from everyone.
