Our private driver and Egyptologist guide helped to ease us through the Cairo airport travel visa procedures before whisking us away to the Giza Plateau to see the world-famous pyramids. We were able take in the massive ancient tombs and Great Sphinx, enjoy a camel ride and visit the Valley Temple, the nearby ancient mummification complex. Next, we headed to the Papyrus Institute, a museum and shop dedicated to educating individuals on the process of creating papyrus paper and all of its many properties. Afterward, we refueled with an Egyptian lunch before returning to the airport for our outbound flight.

Confessions of a Travel Blogger:
Gorilla Trekking is serious business, it is not just an activity to get a shot for the “gram!,” and while I am sure that adrenaline junkies all over the world have been drawn to go down this path — gorilla trekking is for individuals who embrace and value nature. Gorilla trekking is for the conservationist, naturalist and animal lover at heart.

Now that we have all of that out of the way, on to the gorillas!
