Rwanda & Uganda Travel mates Summer 2011

Country forums / Africa / Rwanda

Hi,

My name is Mike I'm from the USA (FL) early 40's looking for travel mates to book a tour of about 12 -16 days to Uganda & Rwanda anytime between June 2011 & Sep 2011. My ideal tour is the following staying at mid-high level accommodations:

Day 1 Overnight Kampala
Day 2 Kampala to Kibale N.P
Day 3 Kibale N.P Chimp Walk
Day 4 Kibale to Queen Eliz. N.P.
Day 5 Queen El;iz. N.P. (Game Drive & Cruise Kazinga Channel).
Day 6 Queen Eliz N.P to Bwindi Impenetrable Forest (via Ishasha area) & Cultural walk in local village.
Day 7 Gorilla trek in Bwindi
Day 8 Bwindi to Parc National des Volcans Rwanda
Day 9 Gorilla trek in Parc National des Volcans Rwanda

Day 10 Trek to Dian Fossey grave

Day 11 Parc National des Volcans to Kigali (Genocide Museum & Local Market)
Day 12 Depart Kigali

I'm looking to form a goup of about 5 people to share costs. I have received some price quotes from US & Uganda tour company's

If you are interested let me know & lets plan a great trip together.

Hi there - my name is Robbie, and my wife and I are considering doing a very similar trip to yours, and we might be interested in tagging along. We're a bit further down the road with our planning, and are planning on arriving in Entebee early in the am on Sunday the 11th of July. We have a similar plan in mind for our tour, but since we are continuing on to Tanzania afterwards, we'd be looking to cut it down to closer to 7 or 8 days, perhaps by eliminating the Gorilla hike in Uganda, and maybe a day in QENP. As far as I see, your trip is really 10 days (not counting days 1 and 12), so we may be compatible.

Please let me know your thoughts - I'm at robbievillagevoice AT yahoo DOT com, and I'd love to hear from you.
Robbie
