★★★★★

Absolute bucket-list trip. Rhinos on day 1, gorillas on day 9 — the variety was incredible. Kyobe Safaris handled everything flawlessly.

Ten days felt like a month of memories. The Murchison Falls boat cruise and the Ishasha lions were things I'll talk about for the rest of my life.

★★★★

Excellent route and brilliant guide. Day 4 drive is long but the team keeps it interesting with roadside stops. Worth every hour.
