点评:We toured Uganda with Nkuringo Safaris in October 2026, following a bespoke 6-day itinerary focusing on chimpanzee and gorilla treks. In summary, we had the most brilliant time, and we can't imagine how it could have been improved.
We started at Entebbe Airport and were met by representatives from Nkuringo Safaris, including our guide, the wonderful Patrick Yiga ,who stayed with us throughout the trip. We were provided in advance with a detailed itinerary, and all of the travel requirements were exactly as described, and always ran on time. We stayed in three different lodges, including an overnight stay in Entebbe, two nights in the Turaco Treetops Lodge in Kibale National Park and four nights in the Nkuringo Gorilla Lodge in Bwindi National Park. All of the lodges were extremely comfortable, spacious, provided excellent meals and had great staff who looked after us extremely well.
This is not a review of the actual chimpanzee and gorilla treks, but these were amongst the most amazing experiences we have ever had. It's difficult to describe how wonderful it is to be within touching distance of these precious animals.
The success of this kind of trip is determined in large part by the quality of the safari guide who accompanies you for the majority of your time. We felt very lucky to be guided by Patrick, who was extremely knowledgable and worked hard to ensure that every aspect of the trip went as well as it could. He negotiated with the Rangers for our gorilla and chimp treks to ensure we were in small groups and were allocated the best gorilla family to see on that day. There were lots of little touches like chilled hand towels for us to cool-off with when we returned from a hot and humid trek through the rainforest, and plenty of bottled water, sanitiser, tissues, etc, available in our safari jeep. We also loved talking to Patrick about life in Uganda, which was an unexpected highlight of our time in the country.
This was our "bucket list" trip and in so many ways it exceeded our expectations. We are very happy to recommend Nkuringo Safaris to anyone who is also planning this kind of experience. Every aspect of our contact with the company was very good, prior to and during our trip. And if all their safari guides are as good as Patrick Yiga then you will be assured of a good experience.
翻译:2026年10月,我们跟随Nkuringo Safaris游览了乌干达。行程为量身定制的6天计划,主要安排了寻找黑猩猩和大猩猩的探险活动。总的来说,我们度过了极其愉快的时光,实在想不出还有什么可以改进的地方。
我们从恩德培机场出发,Nkuringo Safaris的工作人员已在那里等候。我们的向导是非常出色的帕特里克·伊加,他在整个旅途中都陪伴着我们。事先我们还收到了一份详细的行程安排。所有的行程安排都与描述完全一致,而且始终准时进行。我们住了三家不同的旅馆:在恩德培住了一晚,在基巴莱国家公园的图拉科树顶旅馆住了两晚,随后又在布温迪国家公园的恩库林戈大猩猩旅馆住了四晚。这些旅馆都极为舒适宽敞,提供的餐食也很出色,工作人员也热情周到,把我们照顾得无微不至。这并非对黑猩猩与大猩猩观察之旅的评测,但这些经历绝对是我们此生最难忘的体验。要描述出能近距离接触这些珍贵动物的美妙感受实在很难。
此类旅行的成败在很大程度上取决于全程陪同您的向导的素质。我们非常幸运,能有帕特里克作为我们的向导。他学识渊博,还竭尽全力确保旅行的每个环节都尽可能顺利。他与国家公园的管理人员协商,为我们安排的 gorilla 和黑猩猩观赏行程都采用了小团制,还确保我们能见到当天最适合观赏的大猩猩家族。还有许多贴心的细节:从湿热的雨林中徒步归来后,我们能用冰镇过的湿毛巾来降温;此外还有充足的瓶装水、消毒剂、纸巾等等。我们的 Safari吉普车里备有这些物品。我们也很喜欢和Patrick聊聊乌干达的生活,这成了我们在该国旅行期间意想不到的亮点。
这趟旅行正是我们一直梦寐以求的“人生清单之旅”,它在很多方面都超出了我们的预期。我们非常乐意向任何计划体验类似旅程的人推荐Nkuringo Safaris。在旅行前及旅行期间,我们与该公司的每一次接触都十分愉快。如果所有的游猎向导都像帕特里克·伊加一样出色,那您一定能获得一次愉快的体验。
