If you are taking a gorilla tour in Uganda, use this place. I was a little nervous because I made a reservation in Korea 3 months in advance, but I was very satisfied with the guide, vehicle, accommodation, and food. It's a private tour. I took a 3-day course to see the equator, gorillas, and Lake Bunyoni, and was more satisfied than I expected. Really highly recommended!
