点评:I travelled with my wife and her mum who is 76. We did a nine days safari (eight nights) in the west of Uganda, starting from the north west and finishing in the south before heading back to Entebbe.
I'll start by saying that the trip was one of our top five trips in the world, after visiting 60+ countries. There were two contributing factors to this statement:
1. Uganda
2. Our guide, Paul
We could not have asked for a better guide and we implore to ask for him personally (as you'll see in other reviews). Paul is extremely knowledgeable, pragmatic, experienced, kind, patient and has a wonderful sense of humour. He constantly found the best options for the trip based on the weather, traffic and our interests. He's also an excellent driver and within the somewhat challenging conditions of driving around Uganda he's very prudent and safe.
The tour itself was intense, as we wanted to cover all of the west in a nine days. This is not for the faint of heart with several transfers taking 4-6 hours given the distance that needs to be covered. If you want a more relaxed journey, you should extend your trip so you can stay two nights in each location. We only stayed in two locations for two nights, with the remaining five being one night each which meant a lot of driving in order to get everything done.
For us, albeit somewhat challenging, it was absolutely worth it. Most drives went by quickly as we saw the countryside of Uganda and met interesting people. We also managed to hear quite a few stories from Paul and get to know the country better.
We enjoyed the Gorillas (obviously) and the Chimps, but in general the different national parks were great and we easily spotted the big dive, with some extras like hynas and other exotic animals like the shoebill stork (a must see). We also enjoyed meeting different communities and learn about their crafts (gin making, coffee production etc) and meeting the Batwa was an incredible experience (definitely ask to do that, although it's three hours it's absolutely worth it). For us, this is an easy five stars to give and we'd highly recommend it.
Overall, it was an incredible
翻译:我和妻子以及她 76 岁的妈妈一起旅行。我们在乌干达西部进行了为期九天(八晚)的狩猎旅行,从西北部开始,在南部结束,然后返回恩德培。
首先我要说的是,在访问了 60 多个国家之后,这次旅行是我们世界上最好的五次旅行之一。有两个因素促成了这一说法:
1. 乌干达
2. 我们的导游保罗
我们不可能要求更好的导游,我们恳请亲自找他(正如您将在其他评论中看到的那样)。保罗知识渊博、务实、经验丰富、善良、耐心,并且有极好的幽默感。他总是根据天气、交通和我们的兴趣找到旅行的最佳选择。他也是一名优秀的司机,在乌干达驾车的有些具有挑战性的条件下,他非常谨慎和安全。
这次旅行本身很紧张,因为我们想在九天内覆盖整个西部。考虑到需要覆盖的距离,几次转车需要 4-6 个小时,这不适合胆小的人。如果你想要一个更轻松的旅程,你应该延长你的行程,这样你就可以在每一个地方住两个晚上。我们只在两个地方住了两个晚上,剩下的五个地方每个地方住一个晚上,这意味着为了完成所有事情,我们需要开很多车。
对我们来说,虽然有点挑战性,但绝对值得。大多数车程都很快,因为我们看到了乌干达的乡村,遇到了有趣的人。我们还从保罗那里听到了不少故事,对这个国家有了更多的了解。
我们喜欢大猩猩(当然)和黑猩猩,但总的来说,不同的国家公园都很棒,我们很容易就发现了大潜水,还有一些额外的动物,比如鬣狗和其他珍稀动物,比如鲸头鹳(必看)。我们还喜欢结识不同的社区,了解他们的手艺(杜松子酒制作、咖啡生产等),与巴特瓦人见面是一次不可思议的经历(一定要要求这样做,虽然要花三个小时,但绝对值得)。对我们来说,这是一个很容易给出五星评价的地方,我们强烈推荐它。
总的来说,这是一次不可思议的经历
