Angles - yeah, usually not so bad, but being alone or only with 1 other person is very special

$350 at right time of the year - by right time, you mean "bad"/rainy time when they offer discounts (May/Nov I believe) :) - I have had excellent experiences in the rain, but I'm not sure that I'd recommend a first timer go for that $350 rate

I met others who went gorilla trekking in Rwanda and told me the family they tracked was over a dozen. Amazing. Mine was about 7-8, but luckily I saw all the attractions (silverback, babies). I went at the end of November and had great weather until the very end.

Just getting to the camp was an adventure. Traveling in many parts of Africa is not easy. Learned a lot of the local language while riding in the front cab of a truck. I need to go back.
