This it the perfect trip for those short of time and wanting to get up close to the gorillas in their natural environment. This itinerary visits Uganda’s Bwindi Inpenetrable Forest where you can head out on a thrilling (and perhaps strenuous) gorilla trek, culminating with up to an hour spent observing a gorilla family as they feed, play and interact together. Choose whether to include one or two treks, and spend the remaining time in the forest exploring the wider area – perhaps canoeing on nearby Lake Mutanda on the way to the lodge, or on forest walks to the Nombe Pocket Forest to see the many bird species which thrive in the area. Other highlights include a chance to encounter the local Batwa tribes, with a fascinating insight into their nomadic hunter-gatherer heritage.
