I recently took part in a 5-day tour to visit Bwindi Impenetrable National Park and Queen Elizabeth National Park, organized by Bencia Africa Adventure & Safaris. All in all the experience was great. Gorilla trekking in Bwindi forest was one of the most amazing experiences of my life. Walking across the mountain forest and seeing mountain gorillas from close quarters - this feeling is difficult to describe in words. Then the safari drive in Queen Elizabeth National Park was also very exciting. There I got the opportunity to see from close quarters lions, elephants and various other wild animals. All the guides were very knowledgeable, friendly and helpful. They explained the safety rules to us very well and ensured comfort and safety throughout the trip. Accommodation after a long trek was comfortable and well organized. It wasn't just a trip - it felt like I had been in another world for a while. After this visit, our respect for wildlife and conservation has increased. If someone wants to go on this trip, I would say - be physically ready, and mentally ready to be surprised.
