This tour in Uganda gives you a liftime chance to encounter the few last living mpuntain gorillas. Book this tour for a thrilling experience.

DAY 1:
Depart from Kampala by road and head South - West to Bwindi Impenetrable National Park. You will have a short stop at the Equator, an informative talk as well as a photographic opportunity. We will continue to Mbarara where we will stop for lunch. Your drive will take you through Uganda rolling green hills through the highlands, also known as the "Switzerland of Uganda".

Your road will then head even higher to where you can see the triangular peaks of the Virunga volcanoes of Rwanda and the Congo. We then drop down into a valley, to Bwindi Impenetrable Forest, home of the mountain gorilla. You will sleep to the sounds of the mountain rainforest. Overnight at Gorilla Resort/Buhoma Community Bandas (Full Board).

DAY 2:
Up relatively early for a hearty brekfast to give you the energy needed for gorilla tracking. Before 8:00 A.M report to the ranger station for registration and a talk by one of the rangers; the guides will then take you through the bush pushing your way through the undergrowth, parting thick creepers, to track the gorillas. (This track can take from half an hour to 5 hours - a reasonable degree of fitness is required as well as a sturdy pair of walking shoes).

Sit in the forest among the gorillas, listening to them grumble to each other, and marvel at the sheer size of the dominant male; the silverback. It is an extraordinary feeling sitting in the dense rainforest knowing you are with a few of the last remaining mountain gorillas. It's amazing t think there are only about 650 of these beautiful creatures left. If you have the energy this afternnon, take a guided walk on the Munyaga River trail, which is an ideal short walk.

This trail leads to three delighful crystal clear waterfalls and there is a profusion of tree ferns, epithytic ferns, orchids and Bwindi's colourful array of butterflies. Here you may also see birds and primates from the frest edge OR if you have the afternoon free, how about a guided village walk - see how Ugandans live. Overnight at Gorilla Resort/Buhoma Community Bandas (Full Board)
