Day 1: Entebbe Town - Bwindi Impenetrable Forest National Park

Arrive at Entebbe Airport for your scheduled flight to Kihihi Airstrip. On arrival at Kihihi airstrip a Gorilla Forest Camp guide will meet and transfer you to the lodge (approximately 50KM).

Sanctuary Gorilla Forest Camp, Bwindi Impenetrable National Park

Sanctuary Gorilla Forest Camp is located within Bwindi Impenetrable National Park, a UNESCO World Heritage site. It is the perfect base for a tracking experience as it offers luxury in the heart of the rainforest. The camp has a bar and dining cottage, as well as a raised natural platform for open-air dining. Guests can sit around the cozy campfire at night and enjoy Bwindi's crystal clear mountain sky. In the afternoon you can just relax and take in the fresh air or take a forest walk, which is a nice way to warm up before the Gorilla tracking. Birders come thousands of miles to see the more than 350 species that live within the area. There are also rare forest elephant, giant forest hog and about 11 kinds of primates.

Day 2: Bwindi Impenetrable Forest National Park

Early breakfast is served this morning before a briefing from your guide. Tracking commences every morning from the park headquarters at 8.00 am. The gorillas we track belong to one of the 'habituated' family groups in Northern Bwindi. For several years each group has undergone an extremely delicate process that has gradually made them used to the presence of humans. Experienced guides will accompany the tracking, many of who have been involved in the habituation process themselves. Once the gorillas are located, the group will be allowed a maximum of one hour with them.

Meals Included: Breakfast, Lunch and Dinner

Overnight: Sanctuary Gorilla Forest Camp

There are also over 200 species of butterflies found in the park.
