This 4 day Gorilla Experience is the best way to see all of the top wildlife spots in Uganda if you are squeezed for time.
For all you wildlife-loving adventurers, this four day gorilla experience and safari is the best way to see all of the top wildlife spots in Uganda in a neatly packed schedule.
In the remote South-Western corner of Uganda, on the border of Rwanda and the Democratic Republic of Congo, lies Mountain Gorilla Country, otherwise known as Bwindi Impenetrable Forest – Uganda’s most famous tourist destination. Deep in Bwindi you will find the fascinating creatures who attracts thousands of visitors to Uganda every year: the mountain gorilla. Looking deep into the eyes of our simian relatives, watching a family of mountain gorillas interact in the midst of the Ugandan rainforest is an experience you will never forget. This endangered primate has a total population of less than 800 left and lives only in the forests of the Virunga volcanoes and Bwindi.
Gorilla tracking is an experience like no other. To minimise disturbance to these severely endangered great apes, only eight people are allowed to track the gorillas each day, while time with the gorillas is strictly limited to one hour. As wildlife viewing goes, it’s difficult to conceive how or where on earth 60 minutes could be more rewardingly spent. Gorilla tracking offers the privilege of encountering one of the world’s rarest animals in its natural habitat, and by doing so helping to fund its continued survival.
To further satisfy your adventuring needs, our travellers will also be driving to Queen Elizabeth National Park – home to an array of wildlife including lions, giraffes and elephants. We recommend that you bring a good camera along, because you will also be taken on a boat cruise into hippo territory as we sail down the Kazinga channel.
This trip is ideal for anybody who has ever dreamed of seeing the majesty of African wildlife in their natural home. Try combining this trip with further adventures into Kenya or Tanzania to maximise your time in this beautiful continent.
