Meet The Team
Highly sociable, friendly and incredibly loyal, our troop works as a close knit group to ensure all of our clients are given the experience of a lifetime. Every member of our troop is hand picked and we believe that we have the best guides in Rwanda and Uganda. When it comes to gorilla trekking specialists, we are the King of the Jungle!
So yes, we often get overly passionate, go bananas and beat our chests, especially when we get great feedback from our clients (which happens a lot!) but at the end of the day we are all incredibly lucky to be doing something that we love!
