点评:During our six-week medical internship in Uganda, two fellow students and I were determined to see as much of the country as possible. After exploring many of its beautiful regions, we realized one essential adventure was still missing from our list: gorilla trekking.
A quick Google search led us to Rachel, who we contacted via WhatsApp. Despite our very last-minute planning (just one week in advance), Rachel was incredibly helpful and efficient. She promptly provided us with detailed information and several great options tailored to our tight schedule.
We chose the 3-day gorilla trekking safari in Bwindi, which included one day of trekking and two travel days from Kampala. We were fortunate to be assigned Godwin as our guide—and what a stroke of luck that was. Godwin is not only highly experienced and knowledgeable about Uganda’s culture and wildlife, but also exceptionally kind, patient, and professional. He kept us informed and entertained throughout the journey, making sure we were comfortable with plenty of snacks, fresh water, and bathroom stops.
In Bwindi, we stayed in one of the budget accommodations arranged for us, and we were pleasantly surprised by how much we liked it. Despite being a more affordable option, it was clean, comfortable, and had everything we needed—including a hot shower, which we hadn’t had in quite some time!
Thanks to Godwin’s strong local connections, we were also matched with an excellent trekking guide who led us to an amazing gorilla family—an encounter we’ll never forget.
This trip was a true highlight of our time in Uganda and the perfect way to end our stay. We can’t recommend it highly enough!
翻译:在乌干达为期六周的医学实习期间,我和两位同学决心尽可能多地游览这个国家。在探索了许多美丽的地区后,我们意识到我们的清单上还缺少一项重要的冒险:大猩猩徒步旅行。
我们快速地在谷歌上搜索了一下,找到了Rachel,并通过WhatsApp联系了她。尽管我们是在最后一刻才开始计划的(只提前了一周),但Rachel非常乐于助人,而且效率很高。她迅速地为我们提供了详细的信息,并根据我们紧凑的日程安排,为我们量身定制了几个很棒的方案。
我们选择了在布恩迪进行为期三天的大猩猩徒步旅行,其中包括一天的徒步旅行和从坎帕拉出发的两天旅行。我们很幸运地被指派为Godwin的向导——这真是太幸运了。Godwin不仅经验丰富,对乌干达的文化和野生动物了如指掌,而且非常友善、耐心和专业。在整个旅程中,他不断向我们通报情况,并给我们提供娱乐,确保我们有足够的零食、淡水和上厕所的时间。
在布恩迪,我们入住了酒店为我们安排的经济型住宿之一,惊喜地发现我们竟然非常喜欢。虽然价格更实惠,但房间干净舒适,而且设施齐全——包括很久没用过的热水淋浴!
多亏了Godwin在当地的人脉广泛,我们还找到了一位优秀的徒步向导,带我们去了一个令人惊叹的大猩猩家族——这次邂逅我们永生难忘。
这次旅行是我们在乌干达之旅的一大亮点,也是我们旅程的完美收尾。我们强烈推荐!
