Day 3 - Bwindi Forest or Rwanda

An early morning trek into the forest on the slopes of the volcanoes led by experienced trackers should bring you within sight of a family of Mountain Gorillas.  You will get within metres of the family, and it is truly a privilege to spend time amongst them.  Returning to the camp for a late lunch, we have an opportunity for forest walks with the guides, or just to relax. Note: The trekking may be fairly strenuous - up to six hours or longer is not uncommon - at relatively high altitude. Mountain Gorillas are wild animals and as such sightings cannot be guaranteed, however the success rate is well over 90%.  Overnight at Buhoma Lodge (Uganda) or Mountain Gorilla View Lodge (Rwanda). (BLD)

 

Day 4 - Bwindi Forest or Rwanda

Today you have the option of a second day of gorilla tracking (with pre-purchased permits only). Those persons not trekking will be able to go on a forest walk in Bwindi looking for birds and primates with a local knowledgeable guide, or go on a local community village walk. Overnight at Buhoma Lodge (Uganda) or Mountain Gorilla View Lodge (Rwanda). (BLD)

 

Day 5 - Lake Mburo National Park

The drive takes you via Kabale into the Uganda Highlands - the Switzerland of Africa - with great views and vistas of this lush green area.  From here we continue to Lake Mburo National Park. This small park offers a great variety of game including zebra, leopard, various antelope and hippo - as well as prolific birdlife.  Here you may go on a walk with a local guide or on game drives.  Overnight at Tented Camp.
