    · February 4th, 2024
    The tour was planned so that we could see as much of Uganda's diverse and impressive flora and fauna as possible in as short a time as possible. The contacts of our experienced tour guide Paul Ochan probably also made it possible to spend a few extra minutes with the chimpanzees and one or two little extras. The accommodation is mainly in small but very excellent lodges. And in the larger lodges (Bunyonyi Overland Resort), there was the advantage of being able to talk to other travelers. There was only one small wish that remained unfulfilled: The opportunity to try traditional local food. All in all, a highly eventful and perfectly planned tour that I will probably remember for decades to come. With best regards. Reinhard Füllgraf

    The Gheralta Mountains trip is a truly incredible experience, which accumulates in climbing Abuna Yemata Guh – a genuine wonder. YellowWood have planned the itinerary to keep every day adventure filled and blended the experience of an extremely remote location with the hustle and bustle of Addis seamlessly. I would definitely recommend this trip and YellowWood!.
