Day 3: Kibale Forest National Park – Bwindi Forest National Park
​​
Located in south-western Uganda, the Bwindi Impenetrable Forest is said to be Africa’s oldest rainforest. It is world-
renowned for its excellent gorilla-sighting opportunities - the forest is home to half of the remaining mountain gorillas on
earth. This gorilla experience takes place among a rugged landscape of dense jungle, cascading waterfalls, sparkling
mountain streams, deep valleys, and steep ridges. The untouched forest has been declared a UNESCO World Heritage Site
for its breath-taking natural beauty and unique ecological significance, and aside from the amazing gorilla interactions,
there are other draw cards such as a network of forest walks, over 340 species of bird to spot, and a variety of brightly-
colored butterflies to identify.

Day 4 – 2024: Bwindi Gorilla Tracking & Visit charming Community/Village.

Wake early for a hearty breakfast to give you the energy needed for gorilla trekking. Before 8:00 am, report to the ranger
station for registration and a talk by one of the rangers. The guides will then take you through the bush, pushing your way
through the undergrowth, to track the gorillas. (Please note this trek can take from 30 minutes to 5-6 hours).
A reasonable degree of fitness is required, as well as a sturdy pair of walking shoes. Sit in the forest among the gorillas,
listening to them ‘talk’ to one another, and marvel at the sheer size of the dominant male, the Silverback. It is an
extraordinary feeling sitting in the dense rainforest knowing you are with a few of the last remaining mountain gorillas.
Its amazing to think there are only about 650 of these beautiful creatures left.

The Batwa Experience was created by the displaced Batwa pygmies to educate their children and to share their amazing
heritage and traditions with the world. Since 1992, the Batwa have been unable to live in the Bwindi Impenetrable Forest,
their ancestors’ home. Yet they have not forgotten the old ways.

Step back in time to see how the Batwa lived for millenia in the Bwindi, one of the most beautiful jungles on earth and
home of the famous mountain gorillas. Enjoy an incredible day hike in the rain forest with Batwa guides, see how the
Batwa lived and hunted, learn about medicinal plants, and watch for animals and birds.
