Make a scenic drive to Bwindi Impenetrable National Park via Kabale through big terraced hills, valleys and forests.
Overnight at Gorilla Resort/Buhoma Community Bandas (FB).
DAY 3
Up relatively early for a hearty breakfast to give you the energy needed for gorilla tracking. Before 8:00 am report to the ranger station for registration and a talk by one of the rangers; the guides will then take you through the bush pushing your way through the undergrowth, parting thick creepers, to track the gorillas. (This trek can take from half an hour to 5 hours – a reasonable degree of fitness is required as well as a sturdy pair of walking shoes) Sit in the forest among the gorillas, listening to them grumble to each other, and marvel at the sheer size of the dominant male; the silverback.
It is an extraordinary feeling sitting in the dense rainforest knowing you are with a few of the last remaining mountain gorillas. It’s amazing to think there are only about 650 of these beautiful creatures left!
If you have the energy this afternoon, take a guided walk on the Munyaga River trail, which is an ideal short walk. This trail leads to three delightful crystal clear waterfalls, and there is a profusion of tree ferns, epithytic ferns, orchids and Bwindi’s colorful array of butterflies. Here you may also see birds and primates from the forest edge.
OR You will go for a village walk to see how Ugandans live, see how they perform their traditional dances!
Overnight at Gorilla Resort/Buhoma Community Bandas (FB).
DAY 4
An early breakfast at the camp before the drive back to Kampala. Lunch en route.
