After Kampala driving will continue southwards till you make a stop at the 0 degree latitude (Equator). At this point, you will be shown a local experiment of locating the Equator line without a Global positioning satellite (G.P.S) at the same time serving as a breakfast stop over. This is a place with coffee shops and hand crafts.

MEAL PLAN: Half board

After an early morning breakfast at around 06:45hrs, set off for your gorilla tracking in the forests of Bwindi Impenetrable National park which normally starts at 08:00hrs, well dressed in long sleeved tops and long down fits ready for the activity. This Park is best known for the fascinating gorillas, where the time is taken to find them and terrain varies according to the movements of these marvelous primates.

Though the time spent to track down these Gorillas is unpredictable, the thrill of spending time and observing these gentle giant gorillas is a rare, moving, awesome and exciting adventure that will leave you with long lasting memories of a truly unique experience.

The gorillas are shy and peaceful animals and it is an unforgettable experience to watch and photograph them as they play and interact.

Depending on how far or near the Gorillas will be from the camp, one can hardly predict how many hours tracking can take, but normally we always say it takes 3-4hours inclusive of 1hour that trackers are allowed to spend with the Gorillas after reaching them, it’s hectic but an interesting moment.

There will be well trained game rangers with A.K 47 Gun for every one’s safety.

After the tracking, shall drive back to place of accommodation for refreshment as well as relaxation waiting to have lunch. After lunch, shall go for cultural encounter or the community walk where you will meet the pygmies (Batwa people).

Eventually after the experience, shall get back to your place of accommodation for dinner and overnight.

Along your way there is Lake Mburo National Park where you expect to view animals such as zebras, Impala and on a lucky day, the world’s largest antelopes (Eland). These three animals are a specialty for this particular game park because they are not found in other parks in Uganda, will be in position view these animals through the windows and there isn’t any stopover to be made at this park due to limited time.

After the view, shall proceed to your preferred destination and only to be left with memories about the safari.
