Uganda Gorillas Express
American zoologist George Schaller, one of the first people to study gorillas in the wild, once said: “No one who looks into the eyes of a Gorilla, gentle and vulnerable, can remain unchanged.” Well, before having a close view of these gentle giants, your journey will take you across central Uganda through the tropical landscape with a lot of green, a bit of savannah to the highlands of the south west in an area called the “Switzerland of East Africa”.
Highlights
- Gorilla Trekking: The main highlight of this trip is undoubtedly the gorilla trekking experience. You'll embark on a guided trek in Bwindi Impenetrable Forest or Mgahinga Gorilla National Park to get up close to a habituated group of mountain gorillas. Spending an hour with these magnificent creatures is a truly unforgettable experience.
