点评:From our initial contact with Dr. Robert and the team at African Adventure Travellers, the assurance of professionalism and hospitality set the tone for our custom trip with eight friends, spanning from Kigali, Rwanda, to Entebbe, Uganda. The meticulously planned itinerary seamlessly blended African warmth with breathtaking nature.
Our journey kicked off in Kigali with a visit to the Genocide Memorial, a somber start that proved its worth. Three nights at Ingagi Lodge exceeded expectations – the staff's warmth and welcomeness, and the challenging trek in Volcanos National Park, particularly to Bisoke, rewarded us with our first memorable Mountain Gorilla sightings. Special mention to the chef at Ingagi Lodge for crafting the best-packed lunch, a delightful surprise in the midst of an arduous trek.
Crossing into Uganda had minor border hiccups, a lesson learned about the importance of printing documents. This is where the exceptional drivers, Augustine and Adam, added immeasurable value, contributing to the trip's overall joy by assisting with various needs, from visa printing to snacks, beer stops, and room changes.
Rushaga lived up to its billing, cocooned in mist within the steep hills of Bwindi Impenetrable Forest – a serene respite after arduous jungle treks in pursuit of gorillas.
A highlight awaited us at Ishasha Wilderness Camp, nestled along a river teeming with hippos in Queen Elizabeth National Park. The staff's excellence, combined with idyllic accommodations, created a bush camp experience that we could have easily extended for the remainder of our journey.
Transitioning to Chimpundu Lodge after Ishasha, we found comfort in its higher-end amenities. The lodge, offering modern comforts, stood out for its great food options and the trip's most comfortable beds.
Our final stop, Paraa Safari Lodge, had a few hiccups. A late arrival resulted in twin rooms instead of the Premium doubles we had booked. Dr. Robert promptly addressed the oversight, offering room upgrades the next day. While not a negative experience, Paraa Safari Lodge deviated slightly from our seamless journey, with check-in issues, reserved tables given away, and standard buffet fare. Despite this, it remains a decent spot, albeit the only place where we felt a bit like "tourists" on an otherwise extraordinary trip.
In summary, whether you are an experienced traveler as we are, or looking for a wonderful introduction to Africa, I would recommend African Adventure Travellers for your trip planning and logistical needs, you won't be disappointed.
翻译:从我们与罗伯特博士和非洲冒险旅行者团队的最初接触开始,专业精神和热情好客的保证就为我们与八位朋友的定制旅行定下了基调,从卢旺达基加利到乌干达恩德培。精心策划的行程将非洲的温暖与令人惊叹的自然风光完美地融合在一起。
我们的旅程从基加利开始,参观了种族灭绝纪念碑,一个阴郁的开始证明了它的价值。在 Ingagi Lodge 的三晚超出了我们的预期——工作人员的热情和好客,以及在火山国家公园(尤其是比索克)的挑战性跋涉,让我们第一次目睹了令人难忘的山地大猩猩。特别值得一提的是 Ingagi Lodge 的厨师精心制作了最美味的午餐,这在艰苦的跋涉中是一个令人愉快的惊喜。
进入乌干达时,边境出现了一些小问题,这是关于打印文件重要性的一个教训。杰出的司机奥古斯丁和亚当在这里为旅程增添了不可估量的价值,他们通过协助满足各种需求(从签证打印到小吃、啤酒站和换房间)为整个旅程增添了乐趣。
鲁沙加 (Rushaga) 名副其实,位于布温迪难以穿越的森林陡峭山丘中,笼罩在薄雾之中——在追捕大猩猩的艰苦丛林跋涉之后,这里是一处宁静的休憩之地。
伊莎莎荒野营地 (Ishasha Wilderness Camp) 等待着我们的一大亮点,该营地坐落在伊丽莎白女王国家公园 (Queen Elizabeth National Park) 的河边,河边满是河马。优秀的工作人员,加上田园诗般的住宿条件,创造了一次丛林营地的体验,我们可以轻松地在剩下的旅程中延续这种体验。
离开 Ishasha 后,我们搬到了 Chimpundu Lodge,我们在其高端设施中找到了舒适感。该旅馆提供现代化的舒适设施,以其美味的食物选择和旅途中最舒适的床铺而脱颖而出。
我们的最后一站,帕拉游猎旅馆,遇到了一些小问题。由于迟到,我们得到了双床房,而不是我们预订的高级双人房。罗伯特博士立即解决了这一疏忽,并在第二天提供了房间升级。虽然不是一次负面的经历,但帕拉游猎旅馆与我们的无缝旅程略有不同,包括办理入住问题、赠送预订餐桌以及标准自助餐费用。尽管如此,它仍然是一个不错的地方,尽管这是一次非凡旅行中唯一让我们感觉有点像“游客”的地方。
总而言之,无论您是像我们一样经验丰富的旅行者,还是正在寻找精彩的非洲介绍,我都会推荐《非洲探险旅行者》来满足您的旅行计划和后勤需求,您不会失望的。
