This amazing adventure takes us to ‘Bwindi Impenetrable Forest’ in Uganda’s mountainous far southwestern tip where you will have the opportunity to track Mountain Gorillas.
Highlights:
• Discover the southern region of the Pearl of Africa optimizing the transfer times
• Fly to Kisoro and out of Kihihi with daily departures and no minimum of participants
• Unforgettable encounter with the Mountain Gorillas in Bwindi Impenetrable Forest National Park
• Beautiful hike “across” Bwindi Impenetrable Forest, accompanied by professional guide and armed rangers
• Meet, explore and learn from the local communities
• Support sustainable tourism initiatives
Specially created for:
• Nature lovers
• Safari aficionados
• Walking enthusiasts
• Adventure travellers
• Perfect for those guests who prefer a “short” hike across Bwindi or wish to continue by road to Queen Elizabeth National Park (skipping the flight Kihihi-Entebbe), but if you can take an extra day then we certainly recommend to overnight in Buhoma on the last day!
