Uganda Gorilla trekking (3 days)

Trip highlight: Stop at the Equator, Gorilla Trekking, and Guided walk to the River Munyaga / Buhoma village walk.
The park is located in the South Western Uganda on the edge of the western rift valley. Bwindi is home to over 350 endangered Mountain Gorillas.

Day 1
Depart from Kampala at 8:00am and head towards western Uganda. A brief stop at the Equator allows time for photographs. The journey affords images from the vehicle of the long horned Ankole cattle, the rolling hills and terraced landscapes of the region, and beautiful panoramas that are part of Kabale District known as the ‘Switzerland of Uganda’. We have a lunch break enroute at Lake View Regency Hotel Mbarara. Drive direct to the park and arrive late evening.
Overnight at Gorilla Forest camp / Buhoma homestead/ Buhoma Rest Camp. Meal plan H/B.

Day 2
After an early breakfast and guides briefing, set off for your Gorilla tracking activity in the forests of Bwindi. Gorilla tracking can be strenuous, you will need to carry a packed lunch, drinking water, wear comfortable boots and take a rain jacket. Walking sticks will be made available for those that require one by the park rangers.
Should you have the energy this afternoon, you will take a guided walk on the Munyaga River trail, which is an ideal short trail. This walk will lead you to three delightful crystal clear waterfalls, a profusion of tree ferns, epiphytic ferns, orchids and Bwindi’s colorful array of butterflies. Here you may also see birds and primates from the forest edge.
OR If you have the afternoon free, you may take a guided village walk to see how Ugandans live, visit a local bar and meet the local medicine man.
Overnight at Gorilla Forest camp / Buhoma homestead/ Buhoma Rest Camp. Meal plan F/B.
