The three-day gorilla tour takes you gorillas trekking to Bwindi Impenetrable National
Park, with another opportunity to see over 10 other primates including chimpanzees,

Day 2: Gorilla trekking (Bwindi Impenetrable NP), Tracking the Mountain Gorillas
and other primates
Today enjoy gorilla tracking in Bwindi. After breakfast,
proceed for the morning briefing before enjoying the
highlight of the trip- Gorilla trekking, which may last the
entire day. We trek the gorillas through the rainforest
and bamboo covered slopes, accompanied by a guide
and trackers, in search of a mountain gorilla family. The
walking can sometimes be tough and long, but when you
catch a glimpse of the magnificent silverback, any
discomforts will be quickly forgotten. When the gorillas
are sighted, visitors will be guided to within 6 metres
from the gorillas, sit around them for a whole hour while
gazing into their big round eyes.
Gorilla trekking is unpredictable. It's difficult to foresee
how many hours you will hike. The gorilla excursion can
take from 2 up to 8 hours. Expect to walk along distance
in steep and muddy conditions, sometimes with rain
overhead, before you encounter any gorillas. A good
physical condition is recommended. For conservation
purposes, time spent with the gorillas is limited to one hour. A ranger will brief you on how to behave with
the gorillas.
While most of today's forests are no more than 12,000 years old, Bwindi's vegetation has been weaving
itself into tangles over at least 25,000 years, in the process accumulating a lengthy species list. This
includes 310 species of butterfly, 51 reptiles, 200 trees, 88 moths and an exceptional 120 types of
mammal including 10 primates. The latter includes chimpanzee, L'Hoest's, red tailed and blue monkey,
black and white colobus, baboon, and Bwindi's most famous resident, the mountain gorilla. Bwindi is a
prime destination for birdwatchers. Its 350 species include seven which are IUCN red data listed and 90%
of all Albertine rift endemics, species which are difficult or impossible to see in any other part of East
Africa.

escarpments of southwestern Uganda while taking in the breathtaking sights of the hills of the region
dubbed ‘the little Switzerland of Africa’. This area is a highly fertile, mountainous region with steep sided
hills covered from top to bottom in neatly terraced cultivated rows. Not to miss as we traverse Mbarara
are the impressing long horn Ankole cattle. A remarkable highlight of this journey is the Equator line and

flight back home
