3 Days
A short three-day trip built around a single gorilla trek in Bwindi Impenetrable National Park. Only two places on earth hold wild mountain gorillas, and Bwindi is one of them. Travellers arrive from Entebbe by road, stay at a luxury lodge and are briefed the evening before the trek. Day two is the trek itself, two to six hours through the forest for one hour with a habituated gorilla family. The trip closes with a visit to the Batwa community before the flight back to Entebbe.
