Everyone at Thomson took such amazing care of me

It’s hard to even put into words how AMAZING this trip was—it was honestly the best trip of my life. Everyone at Thomson took such amazing care of me—from the second I called to inquire about a trip to the moment I landed everything was perfect.

The guides, the camps, the animal sightings—all fabulous. The trip of a lifetime, and I am already wanting to go back ASAP. Rwanda and Tanzania are magical places, and thanks to Thomson my dream of traveling there came true.

I went as a solo traveler and although I was very nervous, all the nerves went away as soon as my first guide met me at the airport!

I am also allergic to gluten and the gluten-free food at the camps was delicious, went way above and beyond my expectations!
