Day 1 - Fly to Bwindi Impenetrable Forest

Today you will fly into Entebbe from any East African Country and take a connecting flight to Kihihi airstrip in Bwindi Impenetrable Forest. You will be met upon arrival and driven to your lodge.

The gloriously named Bwindi Impenetrable Forest National Park is aptly named: 'bwindi' means darkness and this densely tangled green wilderness is deeply shaded, steeply rising - the elevation soars from just over 1 000 meters to almost 3 000 - and so rugged and tightly packed, that it's only accessible on foot.

The park is home to over 300 mountain gorillas - half the world's population - some habituated so guests can observe them: standing quietly aside, you can watch these enormous animals getting on with the business of living: feeding, playing, watching you back. They aren't the only primates, they share the forest with almost a dozen other species including chimpanzees.

Day 2 - Gorilla Tracking

After an early breakfast, your guide will escort you to the Uganda Wildlife Authority Park headquarters where you will meet fellow trackers and gorilla guide who will then lead you into the forest to find the Mountain Gorillas. The trekking may be strenuous - up to six hours or longer is not uncommon – at relatively high altitude. Mountain Gorillas are wild animals, and so, sightings cannot be guaranteed, however the success rate is well over 95%. These massive primates are extremely rare, only approximately just over 1,000 remaining. You will get within meters of the family, and be privileged to spend up to one hour amongst them.
