Gorilla Tracking
Trek through the Bwindi Impenetrable Forest in search of the mountain gorillas that exist within the thickets of the dense rainforest. These gorillas are the rarest and the most peaceful of all the primates.
Rise with the sun and fuel up with a hearty breakfast to give you energy for the adventure ahead. By 8am, you’ll gather at the ranger station for registration and a briefing before setting off into the wild.
With expert guides leading the way, you’ll push through thick jungle, climb ridges, and follow hidden trails in search of the gorillas. The gorilla trek may be short or stretch into a thrilling 5 - 6 hour journey, demanding stamina, a good pair of walking shoes, and a spirit of adventure. And then, the moment of magic: sitting quietly in the rainforest, surrounded by a gorilla family.
Hear their low rumbles, watch their interactions, and feel the awe as the mighty Silverback emerges before you. To share the forest with one of the last remaining mountain gorillas is an encounter that will stay with you forever.
Bird Watching
Out of the 346 recorded bird species in the forest, ornithologists can sometimes spot up to 100 birds per day. Recorded species include the dwarf honey guide, Chaplin's flycatcher, Montane double-collared sunbird and dusky twinspot.
Buhoma Village Visit
The local people take guests on a guided walk through their community where they can experience an average day in the life of the natives of Uganda. Step into the Batwa Cultural Village and discover a way of life preserved through generations. Here, the Batwa people (once forest dwellers who lived in tree houses) welcome visitors with open arms, eager to share their traditions.
Watch as they skillfully craft weapons, spark fires from sticks, cook over open flames, and dance to rhythms that echo their rich heritage. Every visit directly supports the Batwa project, making this an adventure that not only immerses you in a vibrant culture but also helps sustain it for the future.
