This 3 days Uganda Gorilla tour is an exceptional opportunity for a face to face encounter with the largest primate in the world in their natural habitat. The Gorillas live in the high mountain in the forest where there is plenty of vegetation for them to feed on. This magical 3 days safari experience exposes the real nature of the gentle giants of Bwindi impenetrable forest.
Details
Day 1: Transfer to Bwindi National park
Your safari guide will pick you from your Hotel in Entebbe or at the airport on arrival and immediately get on to the journey to the home of mountain Gorillas. Bwindi is located in the south western side of Uganda and the journey takes between 7-9 hours from the capital city Kampala. You the long journey is worth it as it rewards you with an amazing experience as you enjoy the countryside views. You will have a stopover at the equator for a photo moment and proceed to Lyantonde for a lunch break. You will then proceed to Kabale through Mbarara and Ntungamo towns and then arrive at the park in the evening hours. Dinner and overnight will be at the lodge.
Day 2: Gorilla trekking
After breakfast at the lodge, you will head to the briefing area in the park and get instructions on what to do during the trek into the forest. You will thereafter be led into the jungle to search for a habituated Gorilla family allocated to your group of tourists. After meeting the gorillas, you will be allowed to spend time with them learning more about their behaviour in their natural state. You will then return to meet your guide and drive to your lodge for lunch and then visit the Batwa community in the afternoon. The Batwa are former residents of Bwindi forest and a visit to their village gives you a clear perspective of how they have adapted to life outside the forest. Dinner and overnight will be at the lodge.
Day 3: Return to Kampala
Breakfast will be served very early in the morning before we set off for our final journey of the trip back Kampala. You will arrive in the late afternoon and proceed to the airport.
