5-day Uganda: Gorilla galore

You arrive at Entebbe International Airport, your gateway to the diverse beauty of Uganda! This is the country of adventurous mountain gorilla and chimp trekking, stunning wildlife safaris, amazing road trips and wilderness adventures by boat, bike, horse or foot. Experience the warm hospitality of the Ugandan people and be amazed by the cultural encounters with the different indigenous tribes. With us, you’ll experience it all!

Accommodations:

• Silver Karibu Guesthouse Entebbe
• Gold Protea Hotel Entebbe
• Platinum Protea Hotel Entebbe

The drive from the city of Entebbe (or Kampala) to the stunning wilderness of Bwindi Impenetrable National Park takes approximately nine hours. But don't worry, the beautiful landscape, forests and mountains and the chance of seeing wildlife along the way make this a fascinating road trip. And of course, the perspective of going on a trek to see the endangered mountain gorillas the next day makes it definitely worth your while!

Accommodations:

• Silver Lake Mulehe Gorilla Lodge (Rushaga Sector)
• Gold Gorilla Leisure Lodge (Rushaga Sector)
• Platinum Nkuringo Bwindi Gorilla Lodge (Nkuringo Sector)

The Rushaga sector in the south of Bwindi Impenetrable National Park is special: eight gorilla families have made this green paradise their home, and a few of those are not used to humans yet. During a mountain gorilla trekking tour, you hike over relatively easy trails and spend an hour with the groups used to humans, or four hours with the furry giants not used to seeing you in their natural habitat. Watch the lazy ones eat, the young ones play and the silverback guarding his territory. This truly once-in-a-lifetime experience will leave you in awe forever… and maybe even bring a tear of joy to your eyes.

As you drive back to Entebbe, you again pass through the villages with their lively marketplaces and the outstretched countryside with tea and coffee plantations, smooth green hills and the occasional wildlife waving you goodbye. After several days of sheer adventure, even the ride back to Entebbe is an experience to enjoy!
