A 4 day safari which starts and finishes in Kampala. This safari
can also be done on a private basis. [One gorilla permit is included in the cost.]
Seeing some of the last remaining 700 mountain gorillas in the world is a fantastic experience.
This safari takes you tracking in Bwindi Impenetrable National Park. Bwindi has four habituated
families and the gorillas there live in thicker tropical forest and tracking is more challenging
as the hillsides are steeper. You can also go for nature walks to see birds, monkeys and orchids.
On safari clients stay 1 night at Mantana Mburo Camp and 2 nights at Volcanoes Bwindi Lodge.
