Deep in southwestern Uganda, where the hills fold into an ancient tangle of vines and mist, lies a forest so thick it earned the name \"Impenetrable.\" Bwindi is one of the last strongholds of the mountain gorilla, home to nearly half the world's remaining population and for five days, it's yours to explore.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
You'll trek through dense undergrowth in search of gorilla families, sharing a quiet, unforgettable hour in their company. But Bwindi is more than gorillas. Over 320 bird species call this forest home, hidden waterfalls tumble through the canopy, and every trail reveals something new forest elephants, playful monkeys, and orchids clinging to moss-covered trees.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
This is Uganda at its rawest and most alive five days of forest, water, and wonder.<\/p>\n","cost_includes":"Park fees (For non-residents)\nGorilla permits (One per person, non-resident)\nAll activities (Unless labeled as optional)\nAll accommodation (Unless listed as upgrade)\nA professional driver\/guide\nAll transportation (Unless labeled as optional)\nAll Taxes\/VAT\nRoundtrip airport transfer\nMeals (As specified in the day-by-day section)\nDrinking water","cost_excludes":"International flights (From\/to home)\nAdditional accommodation before and at the end of the tour\nTips (Tipping guideline US$10.00 pp per day)\nPersonal items (Souvenirs, travel insurance, visa fees, etc.)\nGovernment imposed increase of taxes and\/or park fees","itineraries":[{"title":" Touch Down in Entebbe","content":"\n
