7 Days Gorilla and Wilderness Safari Tour Package

Day wise Itinerary

• Day 1 : Kampala-bwindi Impenetrable Forest

  After your welcome breakfast at 6:30am, we drive southwards passing through the lush green varied vegetation from savannah woodlands and plains to shrubby vegetation. After driving for approximately an hour, you will have the wonderful opportunity to visit the Equator and take photos at the north/southern hemisphere.

• Day 2 : Gorilla Trekking – Bwindi Impenetrable Forest

  Arise early to the humming forest sounds of this ancient jungle for your breakfast. With your packed lunch, we will go for the pre-trek briefing from the rangers who will tell you what to expect in the jungle. Your trek may last anywhere from three to eight hours depending on where the gorillas are resting on any particular day. Therefore, your physical stamina is greatly required and this trek will definitely test your fitness abilities. There are local porters that can be hired who will personally help carry your backpack and camera gear. By hiring a porter you will be contributing directly to the surrounding community as well as receiving personalized assistance while maneuvering through the Impenetrable Forest! All of your spent energy will be completely revived once you come within ears reach of the mighty mountain gorilla. Once your ranger locates the family of gorillas your group will have an entire hour to observe and photograph the incredible scenes that will take place before your eyes. Once the hour of viewing the gorillas is completed, your rangers and entire group will begin the journey back to camp.
