Zabielskis Family visiting Tanzania & Uganda (Gorilla Tracking)

Photo by Charlie Zabielskis

This family wanted a wildlife intensive experience and to realize a lifelong dream to see the Mountain Gorillas in their natural habitat. They started with a Northern Circuit Safari incorporating the Serengeti National Park and ended in Rwanda tracking the Gorillas.

Email from Charlie upon their return

Sorry for the slow reply. I wanted to look through my pictures before I got back to you, but I took so many that I still haven't seen them all yet. Attached is one lion picture. Our trip was wonderful. We saw so many different animals, and so many of each kind, and mostly close up. We were probably closer to lions than any other animal! The trip was great.

Thank you for putting together a wonderful trip for us.
