3-Day Gorilla Trekking safari in Bwindi Impenetrable Forest

Encounter the gorillas firsthand on your trekking expedition. With a strenuous day trekking, it would be ideal to find a better place for relaxation. That place will certainly be Lake Bunyonyi - place of little birds. You will transfer to Lake Bunyonyi after the gorilla Trekking. Enjoy a swim in the lake before a return to Entebbe.

5% of the profit will be shared to a Health Initiative, a project aimed at providing free Health Services to Vulnerable communities in Uganda.

After an early breakfast and a briefing by a ranger guide, you will enter the Gorilla Sanctuary for your adventure. The beauty of this rain forest is spectacular!
