A 3 DAY UGANDA GORILLA SAFARI
Day 1
After early breakfast, start on your long drive to Bwindi
Impenetrable National Park. You will have a brief stop over
at the Equator for a photographic opportunity and also listen
to some interesting experience of water turning clockwise
at the equator.
The drive will take you through the grasslands of Ankole.
Further west, you will enjoy the famous long horned cattle
before proceeding to the highlands of Kigezi. Visitors usually
refer to the beautifully terraced hills in this part of Uganda
as the "Switzerland of Africa”.
Stop for lunch in Mbarara. Continue the journey throughout
the beautiful scenery. Arrive in Bwindi National park (home
of the rare mountain gorillas) in the evening.
Apart from Gorillas, a more variety of primates are found
in this dense natural forest. They include the red and blue
tailed monkeys, colubus and velvet monkeys. This bushy and
green forest has a number of streams running through it with
Munyaga river being the biggest.

Day 2
After an early breakfast, you walk to the park offices for
briefing by your guides. You will then set off to your expedition.
The thrill of your encounter in this natural forest will erase
the difficulties of the potentially strenuous trek. Bring
jungle boots and rain jackets because the park is often wet.
The time you take to find gorillas will depend on the movement
of these gentle giants.
Visitors spend one hour with the gorillas watching them go
about with their activities. You are likely to enjoy the close
view of adults feeding, grooming and resting as the youngsters
frolic and swing from vines in delightfully playful display.
After your memorable time with the gorillas, you will return
to your camp exhilarated but very excited! You will relieve
the encounter with friends over a drink. Have dinner and over
night.
Or Should you have the energy, you will go for a village walk,
see how Ugandans live, visit the local medicine man!

You will return to Kampala after breakfast taking a different
route to enjoy the different scenery in the different parts
of the country. Make a brief stop over at Mpambire drum makers
or at some crafts display center along the road for souvenirs.
End of Gorilla Safari.
