5 Days In Uganda And Rwanda Primates Safaris

Mountain Gorilla Tracking Uganda and Rwanda
Day 1   To Rwanda
Depart from your lodge in Kampala  and head south-West  to    Rwanda . You will have short stop at the Equator an informative talk as well as a photographic opportunity. We will continue to Mbarara where were we will stop for lunch. Your drive will take you through Uganda rolling green hills through the highlands, also known as the ‘Switzerland of Uganda’. Your road will then head even higher to where you can see the triangular peaks of the Virunga volcanoes of Rwanda and the Cong. Tonight you will sleep to the sounds of the mountain rainforest.
Overnight at Gorilla Nest Lodge/ Kinigi Guest House/ Muhavura lodge (FB) (Full Board)
Day 2  Gorilla Tracking
Early morning, you will enter the Gorilla sanctuary of Parc National des  Volcans, the rain tropical forest covering the hills surrounding Virunga    Volcanoes. The trekking is a demanding but rewarding experience. Ensure you bring with you enough water and the packed lunch. The time spent in the forest depends on the movements of the Gorillas in their natural environments. After the activity, you will return back to the Cam. Overnight at the Lodge
DAY 3  DEPART FOR BWINDI
After breakfast, leave for  Kisoro or  Kabale depending on your tracking group. Stroll throught the beautiful country side of Rwanda . Have lunch en route then arive in the late afternoon.  Dinner and  over night at Gorilla Resort camp/ Buhoam Homestead/ L. Kitandara  Camp/ Buhoma Community Bandas/ Nkuringo safari Lodge/ Travelus Hotel / Virunga Lodge .
DAY 4  Gorilla trekking
Go gorilla tracking, walking up steep densely forested hills before finally coming across the gorillas camouflaged in the  vegetation. An inspiring
moment! (This trek can take from half an hour to 5 hours – a reasonable degree of fitness is required as well as a sturdy pair of walking shoes) Sit in the forest among the gorillas, listening to them grumble to each other,and marvel at the sheer size of the dominant male; the silverback. It is an extraordinary feeling sitting in the dense rainforest knowing you are with a few of the last remaining mountain gorillas.
It’s amazing to think there are only about 650 of these beautiful creatures left! If you have the energy this afternoon, take a guided walk on the Munyaga River trail, which is an ideal short walk. This trail leads to three delightful crystal clear waterfalls, and there is a profusion of tree ferns, epithytic ferns, orchids and Bwindi’s colourful array of butterflies. Here you may also see birds and primates from the
forest edge. Overnight at your lodge DAY 5: Back to Kampala
After breakfast, we will depart to Kampala arriving in the late evening.
