Review of Uganda’s gorilla and chimp holiday, including $1,800 value, guides, transport, meals, fitness needs, and booking advice.

“If you’re thinking of taking a trip to Uganda, GO! And, go with Pearl Nature Holidays. The itinerary was detailed, expansive AND fabulous, though it was easily tweaked on the fly to accommodate our groups’ needs in the moment. Denis’s knowledge of the country and ALL of its wildlife and natural wonders is deep and possibly infinite. I have never had a tour as wonderful as this one.”
