This 3days gorilla trekking safari in Uganda leads you to Bwindi Impenetrable Forest home to more than half of the world’s remaining mountain gorillas. A safari to gorillas is a rewarding adventure and most of the people who have done it say would do it again if they had the chance to.

Day 1 Travel to Bwindi Forest  

Your safari guide will meet you in the morning after breakfast and give you a short briefing about the whole tour and then travel to Bwindi Forest. You will pass through the Ankole Kingdom home of the (Ankole cattle)/long horned cattle before you start seeing the terraced steep hills of the Kigezi region.

Day 2 Gorilla trekking in Bwindi Forest

Immediately after having breakfast, we report at the gorilla trekking starting point for a short briefing. You then enter the Impenetrable Forest with packed lunch to search for the endangered mountain gorillas. Be ready to walk for 1 to 7 hours depending on where you will find the gorillas that day. Having encountered them, you will be given a full hour to enjoy the gorillas’ company. At this point, you can take as many photos as you want. An hour you spend with the Uganda mountain gorillas is indeed one of the best wildlife encounters one can ever have. Don’t be surprised when you get goose bumps as you look into the brown eyes of the dominant silver back, it’s the strongest primate on earth. You then drive back to your safari lodge to relax and unwind Meal Plan-Breakfast, lunch and dinner
