Gorilla carrying its baby- Bwindi Impenetrable Forest National Park
******
After an early breakfast, we head to the Uganda Wildlife Authority headquarters at Buhoma. Bwindi Impenetrable Forest is home to the largest number of habituated mountain gorilla families. After a short briefing by the guides, we proceed through the dense forest to track these sought after animals depending on where they built their nest the previous night. Tracking can take between 1 and 5 hours. For conservation purposes, time allowed with these gentle, great apes Gorillas is only 1 hour. For many visitors, this is the wildlife highlight of their trip. Enjoy the beauty and freshness of the forest, home to more than half of the world’s mountain gorillas. After lunch, we shall go for a community/cultural walk in the Batwa community, enjoy activities like cultural dances, farming, crafts making, black smiths and meet traditional healers. Birding and Nature walks in Bigodi swamp are (optional) activities. Accommodation, dinner and overnight at: Top range: ………….. /Midrange: …………….. /Budget range: ………..
