UTO1 • 5 Nights :: Gorilla Search
Destination -Uganda
Region - Bwindi National Park
Itinerary Type - Climbing
Tour description: It is estimated that only 650 Mountain Gorillas remain in the world. They are found in only 3 countries and Uganda is estimated to have at least one third of the population. Gorilla trekking can be arduous, trekking through thick forests, up steep slopes & down through valleys. Your trek can be long or short depending on where the gorillas have moved during the night. Once located, most stays with the gorillas last about 1 hour before the return trek to camp. Permits are limited & advance booking is highly recommended.

You have time to take a short walk or a chance to fish or canoe on the Lake before leaving to drive into the mountains to Bwindi Forest.
