SUGGESTED ACCOMMODATION

Sabyinyo Silverback Lodge, Rwanda

Look into the eyes of a mountain gorilla and you will see the soul of humanity. You might even find one that reminds you of great aunt Martha

Stunning Views

Perched on the edge of the Macal River, with stunning views towards the Black Rock Canyon, Black Rock Lodge is a delightfully off-grid retreat

Just as safari aficionados have their list of big five game animals they must see, wildlife lovers have an ultimate ambition. And that is to encounter a family of magnificent mountain gorillas and share a mutually respectful experience. It is one of the most dramatic, gentle, thrilling and poignant moments and it will inspire emotions that you’ll remember forever.

Sabyinyo Silverback Lodge is ideally situated to make sure you experience the moment for yourself. It is in the Parc National des Volcan, through which you can trek on foot for your encounter with the local gorillas – and at the same time be contributing to their conservation.

“SEAMLESSLY ORGANISED, TRULY UNFORGETTABLE”

The itinerary was spot on. Claire really listened and understood the kind of holiday I wanted – from the hotels to the pace of the trip. The team on the ground were exceptional: friendly, efficient, and always one step ahead, helping with everything from flight check-ins to tax-free procedures at the end. The guides were knowledgeable and genuinely helpful. I had an amazing time. Thank you!

“IN SAFE HANDS, EVEN WHEN PLANS CHANGE”

Every detail of our Patagonia tour was expertly arranged – from transfers and flights to the choice of hotels. When our onward flight to the Falklands was delayed by two days, The Ultimate Travel Company stepped in immediately and secured a hotel for us. It was an enormous relief, especially as we don’t speak Spanish and had no idea what to do next. That level of thoughtful, responsive service stayed with us – it turned a potential travel hiccup into a lasting positive memory.
