Ralph picked out outstanding lodges which had both great accommodations, food, and wildlife viewing. Bisate Lodge in Rwanda, our headquarters for gorilla trekking, was especially spectacular featuring rooms literally fit for royalty (designs based of living quarters of tribal kings) with views of the volcanoes. We also got to experience some amazing and interesting cultural experiences, sing and dancing with the locals. The travel times were long but well organized and flowed more or less seamlessly. I would work with Ralph anytime (actually the 3rd trip he has arranged for myself and my wife) and recommend him to anyone.
