Quality
This indicates the overall quality of the tour operator's products. A low rating does not mean it is not good - it just means that it does not include as much, or perhaps is of a more standard quality than the higher quality tours. For example, a 3 star quality rating means that it is a more standard/economical tour, while 5 stars is a very luxurious tour that often includes a lot of amenities. -

Hello and welcome to Uganda, the Pearl of Africa! We’ll kick things off in Entebbe, where you’ll meet your Trip Manager and new crew before we hit the road southwest. It’ll be a big drive day, but the views will do the heavy lifting — towns, roadside markets, rolling green hills, tea plantations and rural villages. We’ll stop for lunch en route, with a few short stops along the way. By evening, we’ll arrive near Bwindi, home to one of the last remaining wild mountain gorilla populations on Earth. Tonight, we’ll settle into our chalets, gather for an included dinner and get ready for tomorrow’s gorilla trek.
