11 Days around Uganda Rwanda Burundi for Gorillas and Big Five

An Amazing African Adventure — Exceptional Experience and Value!

Our 11-day adventure with Antique Safari Adventures was truly the trip of a lifetime. From the excellent itinerary and great communication to the flexibility in handling last-minute changes, everything was incredibly well organized. Even better, the trip was very affordable compared with many other African safari options we researched, without sacrificing the quality of the experience. Our guide and driver, Geoffry, was wonderful. At 73, I was traveling with my 18-year-old granddaughter, and he made sure the trip worked beautifully for both of us. The accommodations were wonderful, the food was excellent, and everything went smoothly from beginning to end. As someone who wants to experience as many countries as possible in my lifetime, I loved that this 11-day itinerary took us to or through five African countries. The absolute highlights were trekking to see chimpanzees, mountain gorillas, and golden monkeys. Because I had some physical limitations, Geoffry helped arrange treks that were within my abilities while still giving me the full experience. Seeing these magnificent primates in their natural habitat was simply unforgettable. We saw everything I had hoped for—and more. Geoffry's knowledge, flexibility, local knowledge and attention to detail made an already extraordinary journey even better. For anyone wanting the most comprehensive African experience, I would suggest combining this wonderful primate and wildlife adventure with a dedicated Big Five safari. We flew from Bujumbura to Nairobi to finish our trip with a three-day safari in Kenya, including a hot-air balloon ride over the Maasai Mara during the Great Migration .. It was absolutely spectacular and the perfect grand finale to an unforgettable trip. As one who has experienced over 130 countries, this was one of my top trips ever. Do note, this is a somewhat “adventure” type experience. Accommodations were wonderful, but you will experience rough roads, somewhat chaotic (but manageable) border crossings and sometimes limited “facilities” enroute. Non-withstanding an A+. I highly recommend Antique Safari Adventures and Geoffry. They delivered an exceptional African experience, tremendous value, and memories my granddaughter and I will treasure forever.

Three days tour with Silas 8Visa Travel & Tours all across Burundi

The three days tour appeared to me truly complete; the best of Burundi, I guess, was visited. Visa Travel & Tours took care of all of the details to have the trip effective with preventive contacts with local people in the sites who explained whatever we were visiting as well as logistic tips (restaurants, hotels, car & gasoline) to avoid unwished surprises. However, more than the tour itself, what impressed me was the friendship which was developed during the tour with Silas (representative person of the agency), a friendship which made me feeling not to be a "tourist" looked after by an "agency" but a person taking a trip along with a friend. Moreover, friendship and nice welcomes were at the basis of the contacts with all of the people we've met during the tour. These people invited us in their homes, laughed with us, offered to us beer and food, had true and sincere conversations while dealing with us like friends instead of simply being occasional meeting. As a matter of fact, I wasn't surprised : Silas is a pleasant and brilliant guy, it goes without saying that his friends are expected to be similar to him.
