Tour Features
I first went tracking Gorillas in 2010. It was very amazing and exciting getting closer to seeing these giant primates playfully, feeding and proudly pausing from their natural habitat!. It was more than fun and I was so excited that I can’t get enough doing it again and again. What l like most, my country is safe, clean and green with friendly people. This time, we will be glad tracking mountain Gorillas in Bwindi impenetrable national park with you, friends /or family. It will be a great pleasure if you add chimpanzee trekking in Kibale forest if you have time to explore and visit your great Cousins. We will pass the Uganda equator and have time for experiment , photos and video before reaching Bwindi forest. Cross this out your bucket list, pack bags, get ready to have your mind blown and come visit our country the peal of Africa.
