Tour Introduction

The park is home to many of the world’s remaining mountain gorillas as well as an outstanding array of fauna and flora. Uganda is renowned for its incredible biodiversity. The scenery is spectacular, birds and wildlife sightings are outstanding and of course, the opportunity to spend precious time with the gentle giants of Uganda makes this a once-in-a-lifetime experience.

ITINERARY

Leave Kampala in the morning and drive southwards. A first stop over at the Equator, a famous spot for photography. For the rest of the journey, view the long horned Ankole cattle, papyrus, Augur woodland and terraced landscape of Kigezi highlands on your way to Bwindi Impenetrable National Park. Lunch enroute in Mbarara. Dinner and overnight in Bwindi.

Gorilla trekking in the tropical rain forest. After an early breakfast and briefing from the guides, set off for gorilla trekking in the forest sanctuary. The activity starts at 8.00am. You need to carry packed lunch, drinking water, rain jacket and jungle boots while the rangers will provide you with a walking stick. The time taken to find the gorillas varies according to the movements of these marvelous primates. An encounter with an earth shaking 350 pound silver back or a baby gorilla is very exciting and a never forgotten experience! Dinner and overnight in Bwindi .

After breakfast, return to Kampala at leisure. Lunch enroute. The cost will be as listed in the box below and is per person. (note: Gorilla permits are discounted in the months of April, May and November) NB.1 Remember to bring heavy leather gloves, stout hiking boots, long sleeves shirts, long pants, a light back-pack, and water-bottle for those tracking gorillas. NB.2 Please note that there are limited gorilla permits available for each day of the year. We recommend that you start planning for this safari well in advance (ie. At least 6 months to one year or more) so that permits can be applied for. To apply for your gorilla permits we need to know your nationality, passport number, date of issue and expiry (valid passport is necessary), as well as your date of birth.
