The 3 days Uganda Gorilla Safari includes the jungles of Bwindi Impenetrable Forest National Park in search of the mountain gorillas. Bwindi Impenetrable National Park lies in southwestern Uganda on the edge of the Rift Valley. The “impenetrable forest” protects nearly more than half of the remaining mountain gorillas in the world and it is one of the best places to go gorilla trekking in Africa.
Depart from Kampala at 7:00 am and head towards southwestern Uganda. A brief stop at the Equator allows you time for photographs and refreshments as well as a visit to the craft shops. The journey rewards you with views of the long horned Ankole cattle in Mbarara, the rolling hills, terraced landscapes and the beautiful panorama of Kabale. We have a lunch break en route in Mbarara with an option of visiting the Igongo cultural center to experience the Ankole culture. Continue to Bwindi Impenetrable park and arrive late evening.
After breakfast and briefing by park ranger guides, depart with picnic lunch boxes for a 30 minutes to 8 hours trek in search for the Mountain gorillas as you hike up and down slippery slopes with dense mist covered vegetation. This strenuous quest will eventually bring you to the face of one of the most sought after creatures – the mountain gorillas.Upon encountering these awesome primates, a full hour will be left to you to interact with them as you observe and learn their behavior; take photos and return to the lodge for dinner and overnight.
Drive to Kampala after taking our morning breakfast arriving in the after for the evening flight back home.
