Uganda is often described as the Pearl of Africa and our gorilla safari presents you with the breathtaking moment of meeting our closest relatives face to face in their natural habitats of dense tropical forests.
Your appointed driver/tour guide will collect you at the airport and take you to your chosen accommodation. Time permitting, you have the following optional activities at a cost to choose from.
Situated in south-western Uganda on the edge of the Great Rift Valley, the Bwindi Impenetrable National Park (BINP) covers an area of 321 square kilometers and consists mostly of montane and lowland tropical rain forest dating back to the last ice age. The mist-covered hills and ancient forests of Bwindi, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, are home to the world’s largest population of mountain gorillas.
Today, you venture on a lifetime adventure into the tropical forest of Bwindi, past waterfalls and bamboo thickets, in search of the famous mountain gorillas. Following breakfast, transfer to the National Park Headquarters to meet your guides for the day and begin your gorilla-tracking experience. You will be guided by experienced guides into the dense forest in search of the Mountain gorillas. It is a lifetime experience viewing the mountain gorillas in their natural habitat. Mountain gorillas are extremely rare with only an estimated 880 remaining in the wild. This is an experience you won’t soon forget!
After the trek, return to your lodge, and time permitting, go for an afternoon community walk. Please note: tracking may be fairly strenuous with treks up to six hours or longer, at high altitudes, not uncommon
