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
and this safari takes you to Mgahinga on the northern side of the Virunga mountains. Sometimes the
gorillas that live in Mgahinga move across the border and you can track gorillas at
Nkuringo in Southern Bwindi instead.
On safari clients stay 1 night at Mantana Mburo Camp and 2 nights at Volcanoes Mount Gahinga Lodge.
