This 3 Days Uganda Gorilla Trekking Safari takes you deep into the forest for an unforgettable encounter with a habituated gorilla family.

Travel from Kampala through Uganda’s scenic countryside, crossing the Equator at Kayabwe before continuing into the lush southwestern highlands. After a briefing at Buhoma, experienced rangers lead you into Bwindi Forest, where you may also encounter monkeys, bush babies and other fascinating wildlife.

Your includes 4WD transport, fuel, an English-speaking driver-guide, accommodation, park fees and one gorilla trekking permit.
