Gorilla Tracking
Forest Walk/Hike
Batwa Community visit
This 4 days’ trip will give any visitor in Uganda a chance to go Gorilla trekking. On your way from Kampala towards Bwindi, you will enjoy your journey as most of the time you will get to see the beauty of Uganda. Terraced hills, lush green vegetation and amazing people all these and more. The trekking in Bwindi Forest park starts early morning with a small briefing at the park headquarters from the Uganda wildlife authority officials on the whole experience and your guide will lead you. This trek through one of Africa’s most ancient forests in search of the endangered mountain gorillas ranks among the world’s premier activities. Also visits to some local community projects as well either in Buhoma, Ruhija or Rushaga depending on the permits available.
ITINERARY
Our Tourist driver / guide will be at Entebbe International Airport to pick you up from your flight. He will then bring you to Kampala capital city for Dinner & Overnight stay. Accommodation at Kaazi Beach Resort Meal plan: Dinner
Early morning, your safari begins with a drive to Bwindi impenetrable forest park in the south-western part of Uganda and close to the borders with Rwanda and Congo. You get to cross the most beautiful part of the country with terraced hills, also known as the ‘Switzerland of Africa’. You will see a great country-side, bamboo forest and have great views over the Virunga Mountains. For lunch you will stop at a Restaurant Hotel en-route to Bwindi. Accommodation at Rushaga Gorilla Camp Meal plan: Breakfast, lunch & Dinner
Early morning, you will prepare yourself ready to encounter one of Bwindi’s gentle giants in the forest. A briefing from the UWA staff about the trekking and a few rules. Remember to pack your raincoat, boots, and some drinking water. It’s also advised to have done some medical checkup because you will have to be checked before the trekking and this is because Mountain gorillas are highly susceptible to human diseases. About 5 Primate species, 113 species of mammals, 200 butterflies & 300 birds can be found in the impenetrable forest. There are nine habituated Gorilla groups/ families and each group will be tracked by not more than a group of 8 tourists. This exciting journey along the forested slopes, entwined vines, bushes & bamboo is indeed overwhelming and remember to carry a camera with good or extra battery. Your guide will be pointing out previous gorilla activity including dung nests and chewed bamboo shoots. It takes about 2 – 7hours to track the mountain gorillas depending on how far they have gone. Accommodation at Rushaga Gorilla Camp Meal plan: Breakfast, Lunch & Dinner
Early morning, after breakfast, you drive back to Kampala or Entebbe (Airport). Of course, you stop at the equator, the best place for your souvenir shopping. Later transfer back to Entebbe Airport for your flight. Meal plan: Breakfast, Lunch

⭐ By NAYEBARE LUCKYOne of the worst your service providers in the country. Took my booking money and never gave the service. They never pick calls after that
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ By Kwitonda DerrickThis is the best tour and Safaris company you will find in Uganda and Rwanda. They have the best services from guides to the management. And they are affordable.
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ By Primate World SafarisThe best safari Experience you will get while in East Africa. Enjoyed Gorilla tracking while i had some guests and other amazing activities like chimp tracking, bird watching, plus so many others. You shouldn't miss a chance of a lifetime to tour with Primate World Safaris especially if you want to travel to Uganda and Rwanda.
