Hi, my name is Kyle and I'm inquiring about gorilla safaris. I saw this blog and thought I would see if anyone might be able to help me with some questions I have. I'm looking for a fun, rugged low budget safari. I'm big on being respectful of the culture, not being just another dumb white tourist. Here are a few things I am looking for in my safari. I'm going to be in Kenya working with an orphanage for a few weeks prior, so I will have to stay on a tight budget. I'm thinking 3 days to 7 day safari depending on the price. I've heard great things about Bwindi and Mgahinga. Bwindi I heard is more rainforest which sounds very cool, but Mgahinga from what I've heard is a little less traveled and more wild. Also Queen Elizabeth is supposed to still be very wild. I have been to Africa before and gone on safaris and found that sometimes they can be like driving through a big zoo. I'm looking for the more rugged the better. I'm also looking for smaller groups, I'm very active and love to hike, The more time spent bush wacking the better. I also love to camp. I realize that this is a lot of stuff to throw out there but I figured I would give as much detail to see what ideas you might have. I'm just looking for other people that are physically fit, not people that hike 5 times a year. I'm 25 and pretty physically fit. If anyone has any ideas on safari groups, or people to talk to that would be great. The more grass roots the trip the better. I love meeting the locals, hearing stories and experiencing the culture. Hope to hear from you soon, Kyle
