All in all this was a great trip. The gorilla trekking was definitely the highlight but we also had a great time on the game drive and the chimpanzee habituation. I felt that the level of volunteering was a bit of a token effort and would have liked to of spent more time doing this. The days spent volunteering could have started much earlier and finished later with less free time. I feel that the Potters Village visit should be removed from the itinerary as we were not even allowed to walk around but understand that this is a recent change. We requested to stay at the lake where we did the conservation/tree planting and this was an excellent addition to the trip but again the tree planting was a token effort and I felt we could of done a lot more to help. Peter and Denis our guides were absolutely amazing and I couldn’t fault them. They adapted the itinerary to suit our requests and allowed us to go back to the school a second time to do more painting in our free time. I would 100% recommend this trip as an excellent insight into life in Uganda and I would definitely look at another trip with The Great Projects.
