I have just returned from 14 days in Uganda. The entire experience was outstanding. From my first contact with Marc everything ran so smoothly. Communication was excellent. The holiday was everything I could have hoped for. The two gorilla treks, chimpanzee trek, 3 boat cruises, a hike through the mountain forest, visit to a rhino sanctuary and numerous games drives . . . all were fantastic. The standard of accommodation was perfect, service excellent and the food was sensational. My local guide on the ground, Denis, was also outstanding.
I highly recommend Brilliant Africa, and Marc in particular, and would certainly use them again.
