In July, my partner and I embarked on an awe-inspiring gorilla trekking journey organized by Augustine Tours through Uganda, Rwanda, and Burundi, and it was nothing short of enchanting. In Uganda, our trek to encounter the mountain gorillas was the highlight of our trip. Augustine Tours meticulously arranged the permits and logistics, and their knowledgeable guides made the trek informative and exciting. The moment we came face-to-face with these gentle giants amidst the lush Bwindi Impenetrable Forest was surreal—an experience that left us speechless. Transitioning into Rwanda, our guide seamlessly guided us through captivating cultural encounters at the Ibyiwacu Cultural Village after a golden monkey tracking tour in Volcanoes National Park. As we ventured into Burundi, we were pleasantly surprised to uncover hidden gems. The tranquil beauty of Burundi's landscapes and the warm hospitality of its people created lasting impressions. Gishora Drum Sanctuary was a highlight of our trip, a site that showcases the rich cultural heritage of Burundi. The accommodations were top-notch, offering comfort, and the meals were simply delicious. Our African tour journey with Augustine Tours was more than a vacation; it was an enriching experience that connected us deeply with nature, culture, and people. The memories of our gorilla trekking adventure will forever hold a special place in our hearts.
