BWINDI GORILLA
TREKING
3 DAYS UGANDA GORILLA SAFARI IN BWINDI
IMPENETRABLE FOREST
The tour takes you in a search of the rare
mountain gorillas at Bwindi National Park.
Bwindi Impenetrable Forest is located in
southwestern Uganda on the edge of the western
rift valley covering 331 sq. kms. It is one of
the largest natural forests in East Africa,
supporting a large number of plants and animals
not found elsewhere. About half the world's
population of 600 mountain gorillas reside in
Bwindi.
Along with the gorillas, there are nine other
species of primates including chimpanzee, blue
monkey, redtail monkey, L'hoest's monkey, black
and white colobus, potto, Demidoff's and
needle-clawed galago. Three hundred forty-seven
species of birds have been recorded in Bwindi;
seven species are listed as endangered. Species
of particular interest include the Kivu ground
thrush, white-bellied robin chat, red-throated
alethe, collared apallis, short-tailed warbler,
yellow-eyed black flycatcher, Rwenzori batis,
blue-headed sunbird, strange weaver and the
Shelley's crimsonwing. Over 200 species of
butterflies have also been recorded here

Itinerary:
Day One:
Meet and greet at your accommodation at 0700hrs.
An early morning start from Kampala takes you
southwest and across the Equator. You drive
through savannah grasslands seeing banana
plantations and herds of Ankole cattle with
their incredibly long curving horns. You then
ascend into the Kigezi highlands, known as the
"Switzerland of Africa", with terraced farming
and mountain scenery. Drive through to Bwindi. {
10 hr drive }
Day Two:
After an early breakfast and a briefing by a
ranger guide, enter the gorilla sanctuary for
your adventure. The beauty of this rain forest
is spectacular. The area offers dramatic steeply
forested landscape and is incredibly dense, but
criss-crossed by numerous animal trails allowing
access to tourists. The time taken and the
terrain varies with the movements of these great
primates. The thrill of spending time observing
these gentle and endangered giants is an
awesome, exciting experience to be long savored.
Many find it to be a rare and moving
opportunity.
Day Three:
Sadly return to Kampala with great memories of
and moments spent with the fascinating Mountain
Gorillas. You will have a stopover in Mbarara
for lunch. Drop-off at your home. END OF
