1. What was the most memorable or exciting part of your vacation?
Gorilla Trekking in Uganda, Wildwater rafting the Nile at Lamela Lodge and Safari!2. What tips would you give other travelers booking this vacation?
Definitely do the Gorillas, but be mindful of the charges of other activities and ask your guide in advance. Transferring from Uganda to Kenya is easy and straightforward in reality but won't appear that way, so note that whatever your final destination on the Mara, you'll fly to Kisuma first to clear customs and don't be alarmed (as we were) if it seems you're flying to the wrong place.3. Did you feel that your vacation benefited local people, reduced environmental impacts or supported conservation?
Certainly seemed that way.4. Finally, how would you rate your vacation overall?
Once in a lifetime experiences, all in one vacation!Camila Wills review 12 Jun 2018
1. What was the most memorable or exciting part of your vacation?
Safari in Tanzania and hot air balloon.2. What tips would you give other travelers booking this vacation?
Ensure lodges do and local partners do have sustainable practices in place before you go (employee wages, waste management, etc)3. Did you feel that your vacation benefited local people, reduced environmental impacts or supported conservation?
Partially. Some lodges were more aware than others of use of plastic, water conservation, etc. Our Tanzania operator was much more sophisticated in its environmental practices than our Uganda experience, where it was close to null. In Uganda, neither the lodge nor the travel partner had any kind of social or environmental policy or practice.4. Finally, how would you rate your vacation overall?
The first impression was quite low. The second leg of the trip improved considerably.Holiday Reviews
