Day 05: Bwindi Impenetrable National Park
Today will take you to Bwindi National Park, the ‘Impenetrable Forest’ of Uganda, home to the endangered Mountain
gorillas. Tonight you will stay in a comfortable permanent tented camp – Gorilla Forest Camp.
Overnight: Gorilla Forest Camp
Day 06 & 07: Bwindi Impenetrable National Park
Gorilla tracking on both days! Report at 08.00 each day to the ranger station where the guides will take you through the
bush, slashing at the undergrowth, parting thick creepers, to track the Gorillas. The trek can take from one hour to eight
hours – a reasonable degree of fitness is required as well as a sturdy pair of walking shoes. Sit in the forest among
the gorillas, listen to them grumble to each other, and marvel at the sheer size of the dominant male, the silver back.
Amazing to think that there are only 650 of these creatures left in the World.
Overnight: Gorilla Forest Camp
