day 1
Collect from your hotel in Kampala at 7.00 am and drive southwest and across
the Equator. You drive through savannah grasslands seeing banana
plantations and herds of Ankole cattle with their incredibly long curving
horns. You will have ascend into the Kigezi highlands, known as the
“Switzerland of Africa”, with terraced farming and mountain scenery. Drive
through to Bwindi. Dinner and overnight in Bwindi Bandas, Traveller's Rest,
Gorilla Resort or Gorilla Forest Camp.
day 2
After an early breakfast and a briefing by a ranger guide, enter the
gorilla sanctuary for your adventure. The beauty of this rain forest is
spectacular. The area offers dramatic steeply forested landscape and is
incredibly dense, but criss-crossed by numerous animal trails. The time
taken and the terrain varies with the movements of these great primates.
The thrill of spending time observing these gentle and endangered giants
is an awesome, exciting experience to be long savored. Many find it to be
a rare and moving opportunity. Dinner and overnight in the same accommodation as the
first night.

After breakfast, return to Kampala with great memories of and moments
spent with the fascinating Mountain Gorillas. You will have a stopover
for lunch.
