About this safari

<p>This 3-day gorilla tracking Bwindi safari in Uganda accounts for more than half of the remaining mountain gorillas. The only other two countries still home to these great apes are neighboring Rwanda and the Democratic Republic of Congo. In Uganda, the Bwindi Impenetrable National Park has up to 12 groups/families of habituated gorillas available for the tracking experience. Hence offering a unique chance of viewing these apes in their untouched habitat.</p>

D1

Travel from Kampala/Entebbe to Bwindi Impenetrable Forest National Park

Ichumbi Gorilla Lodge

<p>After breakfast, the African Expeditions driver/guide will pick you up from your place of residence or hotel at exactly 6:30 am so as to avoid the early morning traffic jam in the city. You will be traveling southwest of Uganda while seeing the local livelihoods of the communities in the central region of Uganda through Mbarara. You will have a stopover for lunch at the Igongo Cultural Center before proceeding with the journey to Bwindi through the district of Bushenyi, which is part of Kasese, through the southern section of Queen Elizabeth National Park. Here, if lucky, you could see the tree-climbing lions and other big game such as elephants, topis, and buffaloes. Continue with views of the magnificent greenery and the rolling hills of Kigezi, and finally, Kanungu district, which connects to the Buhoma sector and is part of the Bwindi Forest.
