点评:I am usually a solo traveller and I try to avoid anything that is a guided tour as I am not feeling the freedom of self-exploring or adjusting the plans on the go or going where eveerybody goes, but I never felt that way with Trek Rwenzori, Emma and it’s crew. The company and it’s employees are all Ugandan’s self-made people, working hard to show the best of what the country has to offer and I believe choosing them among many others it is also a way we have as tourists to hire local businesses and choose responsibly.
Emma and his colleagues Ray and Sam had made the best of the experiences and atmosphere, not only because of the great landacapes and wildlife that Uganda has to offer but because of their company, their kindness their 360 support in getting the best prices (non-musungu/non-touristy), but also being flexible, trying to adapt the travel plans and dates according to our sometimes too chabgiing requests but always with good mood and smile. Group sizes are small, so they try to keep it as a family.
I have done Bwindi (800USD + Admon fee) and Queen Elisabeth so far (I have paid directly with Card at the park entry 40usd) safari with them on a 4 day trip. I would recomend to extend it if you have time, because 3 days may feel too short. I have to book Entry permit for Bwindi with them directly (as Governmebt centralizes all permits through tour operators). Government fees in Uganda around wildlife are quite pricy, but Emma has always made sure we have transparency in all prices we have paid, which is highly appreciated.
Looking forward my next adventure with them going for the Margherita Summit!
翻译:我通常喜欢独自旅行,尽量避免跟团,因为那样会失去自由探索、随心调整行程或去人潮拥挤的地方的感觉。但参加 Trek Rwenzori 的旅行,以及 Emma 和她的团队,却让我彻底改变了这种想法。这家公司及其员工都是乌干达的白手起家者,他们努力工作,力求展现这个国家最美好的一面。我相信,在众多旅行社中选择他们,也是我们作为游客支持当地企业、践行负责任消费的一种方式。
Emma 和他的同事 Ray 和 Sam 精心安排了行程,营造了绝佳的氛围。这不仅是因为乌干达拥有壮丽的自然风光和丰富的野生动物,更因为他们热情友好,全程提供帮助,包括争取最优惠的价格(非游客专享价),以及灵活变通,尽力根据我们有时略显苛刻的要求调整行程和日期,始终保持着友好和微笑。他们的团队规模较小,营造出一种家庭般的温馨氛围。
目前为止,我参加过他们组织的布温迪国家公园(800美元+行政费)和伊丽莎白女王国家公园(我在公园入口处直接刷卡支付了40美元)的四日游。如果时间允许,我建议延长行程,因为三天可能会感觉太短。我必须直接通过他们预订布温迪国家公园的门票(因为政府通过旅行社集中发放所有门票)。乌干达的野生动物相关政府费用相当昂贵,但艾玛始终确保我们支付的所有费用都透明公开,这一点非常值得赞赏。
期待下次和他们一起去玛格丽特峰探险!
