Tour Overview
Explore Rwanda and Uganda: 4-Day Gorilla Trekking Adventure
Discover the breathtaking beauty of Bwindi Impenetrable National Park, a bio-diverse, mountainous area located in southwest Uganda. This UNESCO World Heritage Site is home to many of the world’s remaining Mountain Gorillas, who thrive on a diet of roots, leaves, and fruits from the park’s abundant tree and fern species. To ensure the protection of these endangered creatures, restricted numbers of viewing permits are issued, providing an intimate and sustainable experience.
The park’s rugged paths wind through dense forests, which are also home to vibrant butterflies and birds, creating a rich natural environment.
On this 4-day tour, you’ll tick off your primate trek checklist, experiencing a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to observe the Mountain Gorillas in their natural habitat. This unforgettable adventure will leave you with lasting memories of the Bwindi Impenetrable Forest and its incredible wildlife.
