Two exceptional trips in Africa We went on a tour with Wild Trek Africa to both Rwanda and Uganda and it was amazing. We went to Rwanda first and it was so excellent and seamless that we came back to Uganda with our kids. Baptiste had us in the best hotels and we saw and did the most amazing things. Baptiste was with us on both tours, and he is the nicest person you will ever meet. It was such a pleasure being with him. He is so professional and detail oriented, but at the same time friendly and fun. Truly these were trips of a lifetime and I can't recommend Wild Trek Africa enough!Posted on Tripadvisor![]()
