3 Day Gorilla Trekking Safari
The 3 Day Gorilla Trekking Safari crosses from Kigali into southwest Uganda to put you face-to-face with a mountain gorilla family inside Bwindi Impenetrable National Park, a UNESCO World Heritage Site sheltering nearly half the world's remaining mountain gorillas. Nights at Gorilla Leisure Lodge, a boutique retreat perched above the forest canopy, ensure you arrive rested and ready.
The journey between Kigali and Bwindi is an experience in itself: rolling green hills, terraced farms, and crater lakes give way to the dense primeval forest that makes this corner of Uganda unlike anywhere else on earth. On the final morning, an optional Batwa cultural visit or a peaceful nature walk adds depth to the wildlife encounter you carried home the day before.
Want more primate time? The 6 Days Chimpanzee and Gorilla Safari adds Kibale's chimpanzees and Queen Elizabeth game drives to the mix. For a volcano and gorilla combination, the 10 Days Volcanoes Expedition Safari takes the adventure into Uganda's Virunga peaks.
