Mid Range
The highlight of this Uganda safari is the sought after bucket list experience of trekking Uganda’s mountain gorillas in the wild, one of the most unforgettable wildlife encounters in the world! Walking through the thick forest of Bwindi Impenetrable Forest can be tough, but all discomfort is forgotten when you find a mountain gorilla family and spend an hour watching them - a truly memorable experience. This safari also includes a cultural experience with the Batwa pygmy tribe who used to live with gorillas in Bwindi.
From USD 1,670 per person
Today you will be picked up by our driver guide from your pick-up point in Kampala or Entebbe for the journey to western Uganda and Bwindi Impenetrable Forest National Park, home of the mountain gorilla. This is a long day’s drive of approximately 10 hours with a lunch stopover en route. Though long, the drive takes you through different landscapes including tropical rain forests, savannah fields and the terraced hills of Kigezi famously known as the ‘Switzerland of East Africa’. Drive to the lodge for relaxation as you wait for the next day’s adventure.
Dinner and overnight at Gorilla Mist Camp
Early morning breakfast then proceed to the briefing point. Enjoy the highlight of your trip, gorilla trekking, which may last from 2 to 6 hours depending on the group you are visiting. Trek through the rainforest and bamboo-covered slopes, accompanied by an Uganda Wildlife Authority guide and other 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. Due to the nature of the activity, you will have a packed lunch. After gorilla trekking, you have the Batwa pygmy cultural experience, the original tribe that used to stay with gorillas in Bwindi.
Dinner and overnight at Gorilla Mist Camp
After breakfast, you will drive to western Uganda’s biggest museum – Igongo Ankole Museum – where you will learn more about the political, cultural and economic history of the Ankole culture. You will have lunch here and later transfer to the equator line stopover at Kayabwe, to have a feel of standing at latitude zero degrees! At the Equator stopover, there are lots of crafts and souvenir shops where you can do the shopping and have lunch. You will later transfer to Entebbe to be dropped at the airport.
