点评:We booked our gorilla trekking trip through The Earth Safari who in turn tied up with Exclusive African Adventures and overall had a very good experience. Daniel, our guide, was attentive, kept us well informed about what to expect throughout the journey, and ensured we got there and back safely. He went out of his way to check in with us at every step and make sure we were comfortable. The accommodations he arranged—Hotel des Mille Collines in Kigali and Four Gorillas Lodge in Bwindi—were excellent choices: comfortable, welcoming, and well located. Border crossings also went smoothly thanks to his organization.
The only negative was an issue with the gorilla permit. When we arrived at the ranger station, the permit itself was not in hand due to an office mix-up. Thankfully, there was a receipt of payment, so we were eventually allowed to proceed. However, this caused a significant delay, and as a result we were assigned a nearby gorilla family instead of trekking further. While the experience was still unforgettable, we would have preferred a longer trek given the effort it takes to reach Bwindi.
Despite this hiccup, everything else went as planned, and we truly appreciated Daniel’s professionalism and care. Overall, a positive experience with Exclusive African Adventures, with just one area of improvement needed around permit handling.
翻译:我们通过地球探险公司 (The Earth Safari) 预订了大猩猩徒步之旅,他们后来又与 Exclusive African Adventures 合作,总的来说,这次体验非常棒。我们的导游丹尼尔非常细心,让我们清楚地了解了整个旅程的安排,并确保我们安全往返。他不辞辛劳地在我们入住的每一步都与我们沟通,确保我们住得舒适。他安排的住宿——基加利的米勒丘陵酒店 (Hotel des Mille Collines) 和布温迪的四大猩猩旅馆 (Four Gorillas Lodge)——都是绝佳的选择:舒适、温馨,而且位置优越。多亏了他的周到安排,过境也很顺利。
唯一的遗憾是大猩猩许可证的问题。我们到达护林站时,由于办公室人员弄错了,许可证本身并没有到手。谢天谢地,我们拿到了付款收据,最终获准继续前行。然而,这造成了严重的延误,结果我们被安排到附近的一个大猩猩家族,而没有继续徒步。虽然这次经历仍然令人难忘,但考虑到到达布温迪需要付出的努力,我们更希望徒步更长的时间。
尽管出现了一些小问题,但其他一切都按计划进行,我们非常感谢丹尼尔的专业精神和细心的服务。总的来说,在 Exclusive African Adventures 的体验非常愉快,唯一需要改进的地方是许可证的办理。
