Here we are again, and this time we are leaving on our last big trip before trying to start a family. We have chosen Africa because of the wildlife, the exotic landscapes, and the price.

We found that the spontaneous approach to travel that we took in 2009 meant for more wasted planning days during the trip itself.

Great Gorilla Blog!
Thanks for taking the time to share your stories. I too am doing my best to plan my upcoming trip and do all the homework here so when I arrive in Uganda I can just have fun and see all the wonderful sights. What tour compnay did you use for Bwindi? Any luck with your family growth! (I too think this is my last backpacking trip before children.. after that I guess it will be more creature comfort travel). THanks again!

Hi Jane Ann, thanks for reading! We used African Secrets Limited out of Kampala. The main contact is Haddy, whose e-mail address is on their website (www.toursgorilla.com). I just did a search and there are actually 3 companies out of Kampala with very similar names: Africa Secrets Ltd, African Secrets Limited and Africa Secrets Limited! ( Ours was African Secrets Limited). In Buhoma we were told that they are one of the best value-for-money companies. If you have the opportunity, ask for Godwin as a guide. He was an excellent guide and very knowledgeable re. Ugandan politics, culture and wildlife. If you have any more comments or questions feel free to ask!
