On arrival into Entebbe International Airport we will meet you and transfer you to your nearby boutique guesthouse for a welcome drink and a briefing on your Uganda gorilla safari.

Your accommodation for the night, Boma Guesthouse, is a rustic 16-room hotel about 5 minutes drive away from the airport. Owned by the Wood family, and located in a leafy suburb of Entebbe, the guesthouse is itself endowed with an extensive garden which hosts a phenomenal array of birdlife. A cosy dining room and bar by the poolside completes the welcome that Boma offers. Boma Guesthouse – Meals Included: Dinner

This morning we transfer you to the airport for your scheduled flight to Bwindi. You are met at the airstrip and transferred to your camp for a relaxing lunch. Gorilla Forest Camp – Meals Included: Lunch and Dinner

The mountain gorillas in Uganda are part of a worldwide population of just 800 individuals. The gorillas we are permitted to visit belong to either one of ten family groups, habituated for gorilla trekking.

For up to five years each, these groups have undergone an extremely delicate process that has gradually brought them to tolerate the presence of humans for a brief period every day and allow a few privileged visitors to interact with them in the wild. The gorillas are by no means tame, and are completely wild animals. However, experienced guides will accompany us on our tracking, and will help us locate the group’s whereabouts. The time taken to track the gorillas can vary enormously – from one to seven hours. Gorilla Forest Camp – Meals Included: Breakfast, Lunch and Dinner

Today we enjoy a second day of gorilla trekking, setting out once more to the briefing point after an early breakfast. Once the gorillas are located, our small group will be allowed a maximum of one hour with them. Gorilla trekking is one of the world’s truly memorable wildlife experiences – a look into one of these magnificent creature’s eyes brings home the bond that exists between them and us. The hour is often over all too quickly, and we slowly make our way back to our lodge to recount the day’s adventures. Gorilla Forest Camp – Meals Included: Breakfast, Lunch and Dinner

Enjoy a relaxed breakfast at the camp this morning, reflecting on the adventures of the last few days. Transfer to the nearby Kihihi Airstrip for your scheduled flight back to Entebbe, where you will be met by our driver and transferred to a boutique guesthouse in Entebbe to enjoy lunch and spend the afternoon relaxing. Later on, transfer to the international airport for your departure flight home. Meals Included: Breakfast and Lunch
