TOUR ITINERARY - BWINDI GORILLA SAFARI
Day 1: Kampala – Bwindi Gorilla Forest
After breakfast, our safari guide will pick you from your hotel for Bwindi Impenetrable Forest National Park, home to the few remaining 720 mountain gorillas. Located in South Western Uganda, Bwindi is among the most fascinating nature destinations in Africa. Bird life and primate life in Bwindi is quite superb, and there is an incredible variety of flora. Bwindi is the Bird watchers haven! It holds 348 species of birds and supports 24 of 26 Albertine Rift Endemics that occur in Uganda; and seven red data book species. Once continuous with the forests of the Virunga Volcanoes (Dian Fossey’s stomping ground), Bwindi is now an ecological island, surrounded by cultivation on the rich volcanic soils.

Day 2: Gorilla Tracking in Bwindi Gorilla Forest
After an early breakfast and briefing from the guides, set off for the mountain gorilla tracking inside the Bwindi forest. You need to carry drinking water, rain jacket and jungle boots while the rangers will provide you with a walking stick. Gorilla tracking is one of the unique activities you will enjoy while photographing and observing the gorillas. After tracking, come back to the lodge and relax. Should you have the energy this afternoon, go for a village walk and see how Ugandans live! Overnight at Gorilla Resort / Buhoma Community Bandas (FB)
