3 DAY GORILLA TREKKING TOUR IN BWINDI
Day One: You will be met by your Kompass Safari guide at your hotel in Kampala and start your trip of a lifetime by heading southwest and across the Equator. We journey through savannah grasslands glimpsing banana plantations and herds of Ankole cattle, celebrated for their extraordinarily long horns. We then rise into the Kigezi highlands, known as the ‘Switzerland of Africa’, so called because of the spectacular mountains. We arrive in Bwindi in the evening and you will be taken to your accommodation to rest and get ready for our time with the Gorilla’s the following day.
Day Two: After an early breakfast and a briefing by a ranger guide, you will enter the Impenetrable Forest for this enthralling adventure. This National Park offers a dramatic, steeply forested landscape that is incredibly dense but has numerous animal trails allowing access to tourists. The breathtaking chance to view these majestic Gorilla’s here in their natural habitat is truly a ‘Bucket List’ activity the memories of which you will cherish for a lifetime. Apart from the gorillas, there are a variety of primates to be seen including the blue monkeys, red tailed monkeys, and black & white colobus monkeys. Following a thrilling day with the Gorilla’s we head back to your Lodge to relax, have dinner and get a good night’s sleep.
Day Three: Wake up early in the morning, enjoy your breakfast, and depart with all your treasured memories of your time with the enthralling Mountain Gorillas. We spend the day heading back to Kampala where you will be dropped either at your accommodation or at Entebbe airport for onward travel. Lunch is served along the way.
