Gorilla Trekking Safari in Bwindi – 3 days
Gorilla Trekking Safari will happen in the Bwindi impenetrable forest National park. Bwindi is situated on the brink of the Great Rift Valley in southwestern Uganda. Bwindi is home to over 350 endangered mountain gorillas that are probably Africa’s most awe-inspiring creatures.
There are also 346 bird species and more than 200 butterfly species. Gorilla trekking is the biggest tourist activity in Bwindi with over four groups accessible for visitors every day.
The Mubare group (ten membes, one silverback) was opened for tourism in 1993, and the Habinyanja group (eighteen members, two silverbacks) was ready in July 1998. The Rusheguru group (ten members, one silverback) was opened in July 2002, while the Nkuringo group (nineteen members, two silverbacks) was opened for tourism in April 2004.
Tracking gorillas in Bwindi can be difficult, so some physical fitness is needed. Tracking begins at around 8:30 a.m. in the early morning and can last from a few hours a day depending on the movement of these gentle giant.
DAY 1: Kampala to Bwindi Impenetrable Forest National Park
Start at 8:00 am from Kampala and head west to Uganda. A short stop at the Equator gives photographs time. During the drive you will see the long-horned Ankole cattle, the region’s rolling hills and terraced landscapes and lovely panoramas in the Kabala district.
We have a lunch break en-route at Lake View Regency Hotel Mbarara. We arrive at the Gorilla Trekking Safari park in the late evening. Overnight at Lake Kitandara Luxury Tents/ Buhoma Community Bandas.
DAY 2: Gorilla Trekking Safari in Bwindi Forest
After breakfast and guide briefing in the early morning, set off for your gorilla track in the Bwindi forests. Gorilla Trekking Safari can be strenuous because of Bwindi’s challenging terrain.
You will need to bring a packed lunch and drinking water, wear comfortable boots or robust shoes, and carry a light rain jacket because Bwindi has unpredictable weather. There will be walking sticks from the park rangers. Dinner and overnight at Lake Kitandara Luxury Camp/Buhoma Community Bandas.
DAY 3: Transfer to Kampala – End of Gorilla Trekking Safari
Following an early breakfast at the camp, drive back to Kampala for lunch on the way. This will mark the end of 3-day Gorilla Trekking Safariin Uganda
