Today we drive to the Bwindi Inpenetrable Forest. It is an all day drive. An option does exist to fly in which enables participants to do an afternoon forest walk or cultural visit. (Additional costs apply - Approx USD$1000 return pp based on minimum 4 passengers)
Meals Included: BLD
An early morning trek into the forest on the slopes of the volcanoes, led by experienced trackers will bring you amongst a family of Mountain Gorillas. These massive primates are extremely rare, only approximately 650 remaining. You will get within metres of the family, and be privileged to spend time amongst them. Returning to the camp for a late lunch, we have an opportunity for forest walks with the guides, or just to relax. Overnight lodge or camp. The trekking may be fairly strenuous; up to five hours or longer is not uncommon - at relatively high altitude. Mountain Gorillas are wild animals, as such sightings cannot be guaranteed, however the success rate is well over 90%.
Meals Included: BLD
Today, those who have opted for two gorilla treks, will set off once again into the forest in search of one of the gorilla families. Those persons not trekking will be able to go on a forest walk in Bwindi looking for birds and primates with a local knowledgeable guide, or go on a local community village walk (Bwindi or Rwanda). This has been included in your tour.
Relax for the afternoon at your camp, or possibly go and do some curio shopping along the road, or visit a local village where you may be treated to some dancing etc (Bwindi). Please discuss your options with your guide.
For those safaris that track gorillas in Rwanda, the spare day will be taken up with a local excursion in the region. For those preferring, we can book a tour to visit Dian Fossey's grave, or tracking the Golden Monkeys - both of which are quite strenuous activities and attract an additional cost of USD75 & USD100 respectively.
