Our trip to Kenya and Uganda checked all of the boxes. Stephan was good to work with and did a nice job of customizing the trip for a great wildlife and cultural experience. Our drivers, Stephan and guide Dannie in Uganda and John in Kenya were the best parts. They went out of their ways to make our trip great. To be clear, the trip was an adventure. One suggestion that challenged us is that we should have been alerted to the East Africa Visa that covers both countries. Applying for both visas created some significant challenges that I must comment Stephan and Dannie for working out for us in record time. Shake downs by police of our drivers was common, but handled without any incidents on our part, all part of the adventure. Overall, the accommodations exceeded my expectations and food was great. I went two weeks with no heartburn and zero issues for all four of us. Water was always available. While we did not see the migration, we were able to check off nearly every animal in the area with a few extras that were not normal, like the African Wild Cat, not even in the books! The Gorillas in Bwindi were amazing. When we first saw them, I nearly cried with excitement, a feeling I have not had since my kids were born.
