This short trip is tailored for those who are short of time or those looking for a great post-trip extension after a wildlife safari in Kenya, Tanzania or South Africa. Enjoy deeply moving experiences when you come face-to-face on foot with endangered mountain gorillas in Bwindi Impenetrable Forest. This safari includes flights over the beautiful highlands of Uganda boasting incredible rugged terrains and an opportunity to take a community walk and interact with the locals.
Enjoy an early breakfast and transfer to the airport for your domestic flight to Kisoro. The flight time is approximately 1 hour.
Upon your arrival in Kisoro, you will be welcomed by an expert guide and embark on a community tour that includes a visit to a coffee farm. At the coffee farm, you will have the opportunity to learn about sustainable farming practices in the Virunga massif, which is a great way to promote social change through ecotourism.
After the tour, you will transfer to the Nkuringo Bwindi Gorilla Lodge, arriving in time to enjoy panoramic views of the Bwindi Forest. A recently proclaimed World Heritage site, Bwindi Impenetrable Forest is one of the most biologically diverse areas on Earth, and its unique, precious flora sustains roughly half of the world population of mountain gorillas – believed to number just 600. There is also a substantial chimpanzee population, and research shows that Bwindi is the only forest in Africa where these two apes live together.
Overnight: Nkuringo Bwindi Gorilla Lodge
Following an early breakfast at the lodge, you will drive to the park headquarters for a morning briefing from the rangers before entering the gorilla sanctuary.
Throughout the trek, you will be accompanied by experienced guides and trackers who will offer insightful information about the endangered mountain gorillas. Once you have found the gorillas, you will be allowed to spend 1 hour observing them from a 10-meter distance. The thrill of the encounter will erase the difficulties of the potentially strenuous trek.
Each encounter is different and has its own rewards, but you are likely to enjoy the close view of adults feeding, grooming, and resting as the youngsters frolic and swing from vines in a delightfully playful display. After tracking, transfer back to your lodge for dinner and overnight.

Seamless, Stress-Free Safari Planning – An Unforgettable Experience
From the moment I sent an enquiry, Kim Abraham made the entire process seamless and effortless. Her replies were fast, thorough and incredibly helpful. She provided excellent recommendations and even secured a hold on the hotel we were interested in before we booked it, as there was only one room left (I did check directly with the hotel and was told they were fully booked!). Kim arranged every detail of our safari - flights, accommodation, park fees, everything - and the entire trip ran flawlessly. Entim Mara (the camp she recommended) was absolutely incredible, easily one of the highlights of our trip and provided the most magical experience. We would wholeheartedly recommend Kim and would book another trip with her in a heartbeat!

Wonderful Experience
Very nice experience at Kapama River Lodge, the view is stunning and we are super close to wildlife animals on safari game drive. We are very lucky that all the BIG FIVES have been sighted during the 2-day stay. Accommodation is luxury and you can have good rest and fun after safari game drive. All of there wonderful things are based on Kim Abrahams's perfect work and her recommendation. Great thanks to Kim Abrahams, she is very patient and professional and always provides the best offer.
