David was superb and didn't falter in any way! We had great sightings of the lowland gorillas which was very exciting! The trip really was about experiences of which we had many unforgettable ones. We have taken 2 trips with NWS so far and cannot fault the organisation and quality of service all along the line. You go to locations with experiences that cannot be easily found elsewhere. You are unique, well done!
