Putting into words, the emotions of a gorilla trek is impossible, so we won’t even try to – the best way is to go an experience it yourself! The options are between Uganda and Rwanda, with Rwanda catering for the higher end of the market, and Singita encompass this spectacularly.

With only seven luxury suites there is a more intimate and private feel here.
