We did the Gorillas & Game Parks safari in July 2018, it was awesome. Andy knows Africa very well & our itinerary/route was a fabulous snapshot of the continent's animals & geographical must see's. Andy & Nico are a great team, food was delicious. I want to go again! Go to Africa, you'll never forget your experience.
