5 Days Queen Elizabeth Safari

Embark on an unforgettable journey to Bwindi Impenetrable National Park for a once-in-a-lifetime mountain gorilla tracking experience. Nestled in southwestern Uganda along the edge of the Rift Valley, Bwindi is home to over 350 endangered mountain gorillas, along with 346 bird species and 200 butterfly species. Gorilla trekking is the park’s main highlight, with four habituated groups—Mubare, Habinyanja, Rusheguru, and Nkuringo—available for visitors. The trek can be physically demanding, so a moderate level of fitness is recommended. Your adventure begins at 8:30 a.m. and can last anywhere from a few hours to a full day, depending on the gorillas’ movements.
