点评:This was a mother-daughter trip built around gorilla trekking, and Luchi helped us plan a visit fully built around what we were interested in doing and seeing. Over several detailed conversations via email and WhatsApp he worked with us to build a perfect itinerary that included a week in Uganda — gorillas in Bwindi, chimpanzees in Kibale, a wetland walk for birding, a night walk where we saw a bush baby and a potto (I had never even heard of these adorable little bear-looking primates), a shoebill stork tour in Entebbe, and ending with a week in Kenya that he facilitated and planned, connecting us with a guide there for our Maasai Mara experience.
Luchi made all arrangements, and the places we stayed on our “mid-range” budget were all beautiful and unique. In the sometimes long drives as we made our way across Uganda he was full of information and happy to answer our questions about the culture, the country, the animals and the people. He was patient with our desire to slow down for any bird we saw and able to identify them for us, often slowing to point out one we might have missed.
We found Luchi through a recommendation by my daughter’s friend, and although it felt daunting to entrust the full planning of our vacation to someone based on a single record recommendation, I’m so glad we did. We could have never organized and executed a trip like this on our own, and using Luchi gave us an incredibly rich and worry-free experience on our first trip to East Africa.
If you’re thinking of visiting Uganda, I say do it. The country is beautiful. And when I visit again I’ll definitely be using Luchi again as my guide. You can contact Luchi in a variety of ways; we just initiated a conversation with him through a message on Instagram @luchi_william to start with, then all arrangements were made through email and WhatsApp.
翻译:这是一次以追踪大猩猩为主题的母女旅行,卢奇帮我们精心策划了整个行程,完全符合我们的兴趣和喜好。我们通过电子邮件和WhatsApp进行了多次深入沟通,他与我们一起制定了一份完美的行程,其中包括在乌干达的一周——在布温迪国家公园观赏大猩猩,在基巴莱国家公园观赏黑猩猩,在湿地徒步观鸟,夜间徒步观赏婴猴和懒猴(我以前从未听说过这种长得像小熊的可爱灵长类动物),在恩德培观赏鲸头鹳,最后一周在肯尼亚的行程也由他安排和规划,他还帮我们联系了当地的向导,让我们体验了马赛马拉的自然风光。
卢奇安排好了一切,我们入住的酒店虽然预算有限,但都非常漂亮且独具特色。在穿越乌干达的旅途中,有时路途遥远,但他知识渊博,乐于解答我们关于当地文化、国家、动物和人民的各种问题。他非常有耐心,我们想放慢脚步,仔细观察每一种看到的鸟儿,他都能帮我们辨认出来,而且常常会特意放慢速度,指出我们可能错过的鸟儿。
我们是通过女儿朋友的推荐找到卢奇的。虽然仅仅因为一个朋友的推荐就把整个假期的计划都托付给一个人,感觉有点冒险,但我很高兴我们这么做了。我们自己根本不可能组织和完成这样的旅行,而卢奇让我们第一次去东非的旅行体验无比丰富,而且完全不用担心。
如果你正在考虑去乌干达,我强烈推荐你去。那里真的很美。下次我再去的时候,一定会再次选择卢奇做我的向导。你可以通过多种方式联系卢奇;我们一开始是通过Instagram账号@luchi_william给他发消息,之后所有的安排都是通过电子邮件和WhatsApp完成的。
