6 Days Gorilla, Chimpanzee Trekking & Wildlife tour

The 6-day Gorilla, Chimpanzee tracking & wildlife tour will provide you with the amazing experience of visiting and having a face-to-face interaction with the great Apes; The Mountain Gorillas of Uganda. Bwindi Impenetrable National Park is a world heritage site in Western Uganda.

It is most notable for half of the world’s remaining population of the critically endangered mountain gorillas and this will be the highlight of our safari. Surely this safari will bring everlasting memories; see primates like Chimpanzees and monkeys, not forget a variety of wildlife you will watch all on the same safari. On top of this, enjoy culture and beautiful scenery as you traverse the countryside.

Tracking from Bwindi sometimes involves walking up steep densely forested hills; therefore, some fitness may be required. It may take 3-8 hours under muddy and strenuous conditions, sometimes with rain overhead.
