Uganda’s ancient Bwindi Impenetrable Forest is shrouded in mist and mystery: even the name casts the National Park in an enigmatic light. Led by Worldway’s expert guides, this five-day itinerary reveals the park’s secrets for those short on time but longing for a mountain gorilla trekking experience they’ll never forget, with unique experiences of local communities and AKP projects along the way.
Day Day 1
Entebbe is your gateway to Uganda’s considerable treasures, a laid-back waterside town with palm-fringed promenades lapped by Lake Victoria. Hotel No. 5 enhances these charming surroundings with its own style and comfort. The hotel has been completely cocooned by a well-maintained garden, yours to enjoy from your private terrace or balcony.
Day Day 1.1
Day Day 2
A mist-topped tangle of treetops, strangling roots and coiling ferns, Bwindi Impenetrable Forest is one of the richest, oldest and most diverse rainforests in the region. Among its 120 species of mammals are over 300 mountain gorillas – half the world's wild population — some habituated to allow visitors to observe them. Gorilla Forest Lodge, located near the westernmost edge of the national park, is unrivalled as a base from which to set off in search of these magnificent creatures. Floor-to-ceiling windows bring the outside in; veranda-like decks provide a compelling sense of not merely looking at the forest but existing within it. Meals: Breakfast, Lunch, Dinner
Day Day 3
Fuel up with an early breakfast before joining your gorilla guide, who leads you into the forest to find the forest’s most famous residents. The trekking may be strenuous — six hours or longer is not unheard of – but the reward is worth it: the chance to observe wild mountain gorillas from just yards away, with no bars or barriers. Spend an hour in the company of these magnificent creatures as they forage, play or simply lounge amid the greenery, their affinity to humans apparent in every interaction and glance. Return to the lodge and relax or, if time allows, go on a forest or community walk with your guides. Meals: Breakfast, Lunch, Dinner
Day Day 4
Return to the forest for a second encounter with a gorilla family. Time permitting afterward, discover the history of the Batwa people, traditional keepers of the forest, on an excursion with a Batwa guide, visiting their homestead and learning their traditional hunting techniques. Meals: Breakfast, Lunch, Dinner
Day Day 4.1
Day Day 5
