Kristina's African Safaris
UGS3 Gorilla Tracking in Bwindi
A 4 day safari which starts
and finishes in Kampala. This safari can also be done on a private basis. [One
gorilla permit is included in the cost.]
Seeing some of the last
remaining 700 mountain gorillas in the world is a fantastic experience. This
safari takes you tracking in Bwindi Impenetrable National Park. Bwindi has four
habituated families and the gorillas there live in thicker tropical forest and
tracking is more challenging as the hillsides are steeper. You can also go for
nature walks to see birds, monkeys and orchids.
On safari clients stay 1
night at Mantana Mburo Camp and 2 nights at Volcanoes Bwindi Lodge.

Briefing on safari. Start for
Lake Mburo, arrive in time for lunch. Canoe trip on Lake Mburo. Afternoon game

Impenetrable Forest arriving in the afternoon. Nature walk in the forest or

Day 3 SUNDAY
Go gorilla tracking (subject to

before finally coming across the gorillas camouflaged in the vegetation. An
inspiring moment! Tracking in Bwindi requires stamina and can often take most of
the day. Alternatively go for a leisurely nature or community walk. O/N:
Volcanoes Bwindi Lodge (FB).
