What our Travellers say

I booked a 2 day gorilla trekking experience since I was already in Rwanda for UCI Road world championship. It was definitely amaizing but physically demanding. Babies playing with their moms. The big silverback gorilla was a few meters in front of me staring. 1 of the females was so playful it constantly smashed her hands to a tree. I just cant explain the thrill. I appreciate Nturo for making this experience possible on very short notice.
