点评:The tour went ok. While tour was in a Landrover, it was not well maintained. Twice the car would not start until fixed a few days later, ran out of gas since dashboard was not working so never knew how much gas we had or how fast we were going. Africa is not a place you want a car to breakdown. Luckily always near a town and we tipped them to help us out. He tried to change the originally quoted hotels on me, most where for a lower quality but when pressed he changed back. I was in low season so no issue with availability.
The biggest issue I had was on the gorilla trekking. The night before he called me to say needed to wake up and hour earlier cause gorillas had moved. I said we stayed in this hotel since it was 10 mins from the Buhoma gate. He said please wake earlier, so I did. One of the owners picked me up, not my usual guide we drove for about an hour. Then parked on side of road, where a Ugandan guard came out of the forest I followed him alone, not sure what was going on and did see gorillas for an hour by myself. This was clearly a bribe for the guard and much lower cost for the operator. For all gorilla treks you usually meet with the group at an official entrance show passport get signed in and and divided into groups, as well as a short talk. This operator clearly did not pay for a gorilla permit. Tour operator and guard pocketed the money not Uganda Parks.

我遇到的最大问题是大猩猩徒步旅行。前一天晚上,他打电话给我说需要早起一个小时,因为大猩猩已经搬家了。我说我们住在这家酒店是因为它距离布霍马门 10 分钟路程。他说请早点起床,我就起床了。一位业主来接我,而不是我通常的导游,我们开了大约一个小时。然后把车停在路边,一名乌干达警卫从森林里走出来,我独自跟着他,不知道发生了什么,并且独自一人看到了大猩猩一个小时。这显然是对警卫的贿赂,而对操作员来说成本要低得多。对于所有大猩猩徒步旅行,您通常会在正式入口处与团队会面,出示护照,签到并分组,并进行简短的交谈。该运营商显然没有支付大猩猩许可证的费用。旅游经营者和警卫将钱收入囊中,而不是乌干达公园。
