      This trip has been a once-in-a-lifetime experience, filled with adventure, luxurious hotels, and breathtaking scenery such as Lake Victoria, tea plantations, lush forests, and endless mountain ranges. Emily and Tessa made the trip even more enjoyable by going above and beyond. Our chimp trekking adventure in Kibale National Park was invigorating. Trekking in Bwindi Impenetrable Forest led to tears of joy upon witnessing a 7-day-old gorilla with its loving mother. The highlights of our trip were the Ugandans and the incredible friends we made along the way. Our guide, Emmanuel, put it perfectly when he said, 'You are rich because of the people in your life, not because of the money you have.' My sister and I returned home with a wealth of memories from all the laughter and tears we shared during our journey. Emily is truly a ROCK STAR!!!

      Emily did it again! Uganda Gorilla trekking was my second trip with her, and it did not disappoint. You will see animals. Gorilla and chimp trekking went perfectly! I also thoroughly enjoyed the bush walk. The hotels/lodges we stayed at were beautiful! Our guides she picked were amazing and took such great care of us. Her itinerary is absolutely perfect and there’s nothing I would have changed about it. It is so nice not having to worry about where we are going, what we are doing or what we are eating. She takes care of everything! And on top of all that, she quickly becomes your friend. She’s the nicest, most vibrant person you would ever want to meet. Take the trip with her! You will not be disappointed!!

      Wow, wow, wow! These trips truly just keep getting better! This is my 7th trip with Emily and it was absolutely incredible! If you love wildlife, this is the trip for you!!! Getting up and close with gorillas and chimpanzees was a true once in a lifetime opportunity! She picks the BEST local guides to make sure you get the best experience possible!! I don’t have enough good things to say about Emily and her trips ❤️

      This was my first trip with Emily but hopefully not my last! Emily is a lovely person and she was an incredible guide thru Ireland. The trip she arranged for our Ireland Deluxe group was amazing. It was everything I could have wanted and more. It was the perfect mix of fun, nightlife, history, and nature. The balance of the activities was great too, truly a perfect mix. Our free day was perfectly placed in the middle and gave a great opportunity to explore on our own while still with the group. All the places we visited were amazing and I wouldn't change anything. Having Emily available to capture professional photographs was an amazing bonus. I felt like this trip only scratched the surface of all there is to see and do in Ireland. I wish I had more time at some of the places but I wouldn't want to give up anything I experienced. Emily kept us entertained on the bus, she was an excellent communicator, and expertly managed our expectations. I would recommend anyone to travel with her. Our driver was a great addition to the trip too, "another cherry on top," arranged by Emily. If you are one the fence about booking with Emily, JUST DO IT!

      Words alone cannot describe how truly wonderful this trip was for me. Emily was truly wonderful at not only organizing the trip, but she was also welcoming and warm to each one of us that joined. She truly took care of everything, right down to the last detail so that the rest of us could enjoy the experience. I arrived a few days before the group and had to leave a few of days before the rest of the group. She provided me with excellent recommendations for tours to join when I arrived, as well as recommendations on how to safely return to the airport. Thank you for organizing such a memorable experience Emily! I won’t ever forget it! <3

      I traveled to Tanzania with her in 2023. 8 months later I'm still dreaming of that trip. It has taken me that long to wrap my head around how amazing her trip was. Emily made every detail perfect. She is patient, friendly, easy going and adventurous. I will definitely be traveling with her again. Although we had a large group she made me feel special and gave individual attention and tips. Don't have anyone to go with you... go along. You won't wanna miss it.
