After reading the other reviews, I realize that my sister and I were like many others, postponing the trip several times. It made me realize how much Amanda had to deal with over the past few years and what a great job she and Jill did assisting us and answering our endless questions.Our trip was amazing. The accommodations were wonderful, the staff (especially Wesley and Rosemary) was very attentive at the Nkuringo Bwindi Gorilla Lodge, and our guide and driver, Patrick, was great. The gorilla trek was extremely difficult. My sister and I are 69 and 75 and I'm guessing our age and the altitude are what made it so difficult. Fortunately we had three porters between the two of us who were incredibly helpful and got us up and down the mountain. We got within a few feet of the gorillas and they were completely unfazed by us being there. It was quite an experience to spend the hour with them.We also spent part of a day at the Batwa Cultural Village visiting with the locals. It was very interesting and the children were darling.So despite the 40 hours of flying to get there and back and the difficult trek, it was a great trip.
