This trip specifically includes the well known national parks of Western Uganda: Bwindi National Park or Mgahinga National Park.

Day2: Drive to Bwindi Impenetrable Forest

After Breakfast, Drive immediately to southwestern Uganda through rolling hills (imagine the Switzerland of Africa) to your hotel in Bwindi Forest National Park. br
Your tracking experience will be an exciting, yet challenging, journey along forested (often muddy and slippery) slopes, tangled vines, thick vegetation and bamboo forests before you reach the territory of these gentle giants. En-route, your ranger will point out telltale signs of previous gorilla activity, like dung, nests and chewed bamboo shoots. Depending on the location of the gorillas on any given day the walk can take anything from 2 to 7 hours. Once the family of gorillas have been located, settle in to your surroundings and enjoy the hour you have to quietly observe these fascinating primates whose habits and mannerisms remind us so much of our own.

Encountering the mountain Gorillas in the wild is a truly humbling and emotional experience, one that you are sure to remember for the rest of your life.

Day3: Gorilla Trekking

In the Early Morning you will be driven to the briefing point of Gorilla tracking!!! After briefing departure with your ranger to search for one of the world's most interesting and endangered animal, the Mountain Gorilla!

En-route, your guide will point out signs of previous gorilla activity, including dung, nests and chewed bamboo shoots. Your track will be an exciting journey along forested slopes, entwined vines, bushes and bamboo before you eventually reach the gorilla family.

The time taken to track the gorillas can be as few as 2 hours to as many as 7 hours. Once the gorillas have been located, your group will be allowed a maximum of one hour with them. Coming face-to-face with a mountain gorilla is a truly humbling and emotional experience. This is a fantastic and privileged opportunity to get up close and personal with Uganda’s very own ‘Gorillas in the Mist’.
(The time of the whole activity depends on where the Gorillas had their previous night since they are animals in their wild)

In the afternoon, go for a nature walk or go for the Batwa cultural Experience. The Batwa Experience is highly recommended given that your trip will contribute to the well-being of the Batwa, former inhabitants of the Bwindi Forest. (The activity is booked in advance)
