Gorillas In Bwindi

 

This extraordinary 4-day safari takes you on a unique trip to the lush green and unspoilt beauty of Bwindi Impenetrable Forest. A trek through overhanging vines, moss-covered hagenia trees and giant lobelias that thrive in the tropical climate will leave you enchanted.

You may spot the rare golden monkey and a variety of birds, however, nothing can prepare you for the greatest wildlife experience on earth, that of spending some time with the endangered gorillas. Watch them go about their daily life, feeding, playing, resting and raising their young.
