UGANDA TOUR – 4 DAYS/3 NIGHTS: GORILLAS – BWINDI N.P TOUR (6th – 10th May 2026)

INTRODUCTION TO UGANDA

Uganda has a total area of 236,040 sq km, bordered by Kenya in the East and Tanzania in the South, Rwanda in the South west, DR Congo to the west and South Sudan to the North, making it a landlocked country. It lies at 10S to 40N Latitude and 300 to 350 East Longitude, so it is astride the Equator.1 00 N, 32 00 E. The country, however, is well watered and fertile. Although it lies at the Equator, it receives about three rainy seasons a year, with Lake Victoria, The Nile, the many forests and the Rwenzori mountains determining much of the climate. In forest ecosystems it rains regularly and weather is unpredictable. Water covers36,330 sq km, about 15% of Uganda’s area. The country is rich in wildlife, game, birds, and a vast culture of over 50 tribes occupying this beautiful, green country. In Uganda alone a birder will enjoy twelve percent of bird species in the world; a tracker will find half of the world’s gorillas; an explorer will have an opportunity to see more than 7% of the world’s mammals. For the discerning traveler the potential for Ecotourism here is enormous, and the discreet have tapped into it.

Day 3| - Gorilla Trekking, Community Visit (Batwa)

Have breakfast at the lodge, go gorilla tracking, carrying your packed lunch. You will be accompanied by a guide and porters who will carry your shoulder pack for you at $20 per porter (optional) and paid directly. You will then set off to the thick forest in search of gorillas. The terrain can be difficult, with steep slopes covered in dense vegetation that gives the park its name. In addition, the altitude of 5200 feet and more means participants do need to be physically fit. The time taken to track the gorillas varies enormously, from as little as half an hour to as much as 7 hours before one return to camp. Difficulty, however, is not impossibility and coming face to face with the great primates is well worth it!
