Great adventure handled by professionals from bashem tours, thank you guys. The trip was well organized, everything was timely and offered at affordable prices, the accommodation bit in the tents at night gave me hippy gibbies but it was worth it. Bashem tours mikono jju.

Wonderful Experience- Once in a Lifetime
It was a wonderful experience. We saw the gorillas up close, and got great photos. We also went to Lake Mburo National Park. He we saw giraffes and zebras, hippos and warthogs. We also saw baboons and other animals. It was an amazing experience. We even got to get out of the safari vehicles to get even better photos.
