Sanctuary Gorilla Forest Camp
Days 03 – 04 Bwindi Impenetrable National Park
Bwindi is home to many primates including colobus monkeys and chimpanzees but is most notable for its population of the critically endangered mountain gorilla. Spend the next two days trekking through the forest to locate one of the four habituated gorilla families. The walk is demanding, up and down steep forested slopes and through thick jungle vegetation before finally sighting the gorillas in the undergrowth - an inspiring moment! Spend time in observation as they interact with each other, play and forage for food (B,L,D).
