After an early breakfast and a briefing by a ranger guide, enter the gorilla sanctuary for your world premier wildlife encounter and 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. The time taken and the terrain vary 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 rare and moving. Whether you track the "M" group or the "H" group, you will not find a wildlife experience quite as exhilarating or emotional. Overnights at Engagi Lodge, Bwindi.
Day 1 Drive to Bwindi – 09 hrs departure lunch and dinner included.
Day 2 Gorilla tracking, breakfast, lunch and dinner included
Day 3 Return to Kampala, breakfast and lunch included
