Day 4: Bwindi Impenetrable Forest, Uganda

An early morning canoe trip at Lake Mulehe before we journey around and through Bwindi Forest to the Buhoma area of the forest.  Here we’ll check-in to our guesthouse.  Sahaya Rafiki Guesthouse is park of a not-for-profit organisation which works to help protect mountain gorillas and work with the local Batwa community.  In the late afternoon you’ll go on a guided walk to visit the Batwa, learn about their traditional ways and discover the challenges they face in the modern world.

Meals: Breakfast, Lunch, Dinner
Accommodation: Sahaya Rafiki Guesthouse
Included Highlight: Activity at Lake Mulehe, Batwa Cultural Visit

Day 5: Ishasha Sector, Uganda

The day has finally arrived!  A briefing from your ranger will prepare you for your trek in search of the gorilla group that has already been booked for you. There is no set length for the walk, but it usually takes between 30 minutes and 4 hours.  If you’re lucky, you’ll come across the majestic beasts at the end of all the hard work, steep terrain, lush vegetation, and wet weather!  As you follow them through the forest, you will observe their day-to-day activities at close quarters for one hour.  You will remember the memories forever, even though time will pass.

The trek will be followed by a drive down to the plains of Ishasha, where we will reach your lodge in the evening after the trek is over.

Please note: It is not possible for you to visit if you are sick. Considering the close relationship between gorillas and humans, they can catch all our diseases, but may not be able to recover from them as well. We must ensure their safety. In order to complete this trek, you’ll need to be in good shape. Long trousers, a waterproof jacket, and good walking shoes are essentials. The camera you use must be able to turn off the flash so that you can take photographs. There’s nothing worse than walking near a 400lb gorilla who’s freaked out by flash photography.

Accommodation: Enjojo Lodge
