Uganda - Mountain Gorillas Safari

Day notes

•You are met on arrival at Entebbe Airport , Uganda by the dmAFRICA representative who will assist you with the departure for the private charter flight to Bwindi (1 hour and 15 minutes).

•You are met at the airstrip and transferred to the Gorilla Forest Camp.

•On arrival, enjoy a late lunch and then hike to the waterfalls or take a village walk.

•Bwindi Impenetrable Forest impresses with a truly theatrical landscape - this is a region of volcanoes, jagged valleys, waterfalls, lakes and dramatic mountain ranges. And it is here, on a flat ridge high in the forest, that The Gorilla Forest Camp is tucked away. It's hard to fathom that such luxury and sophistication could be available in an area as remote as this, and we did face enormous logistical obstacles - but it was worth the wait.

•The Gorilla Forest Camp is the ideal base for a gorilla tracking adventure in Bwindi. Guests can dine under the stars and relax by the roaring campfire. On cooler evenings, the central cottage provides a warm shelter. Located within the National Park, Sanctuary Gorilla Forest Camp offers guests an unrivalled location, including the best bird and wildlife viewing in the Bwindi area. In fact the Gorilla Forest Camp often receives regular visits from the gorillas themselves, up to 4-6 visits per month. For the lucky guests in camp at those times, they may have the chance for a gorilla encounter without even leaving The Gorilla Forest Camp!

Day notes

•Gorilla tracking this morning. Early start to the day with a briefing at 07h00 and then transferred to the starting point. From there it can take you up to several hours until you meet the gorillas.
