Gorilla Trekking in Bwindi Impenetrable National Park

Day 3

Gorilla Trekking in Bwindi Impenetrable National Park

Today is the day. You will encounter one of Bwindi’s endangered mountain gorillas. For most people, this is the absolute highlight of their tour in Uganda. Bwindi Impenetrable National Park boasts both mountain gorillas and chimpanzees —the only forest in Africa that can make this claim. It also hosts five other species of primates, 113 species of mammals, over 200 species of butterflies, and 360 species of birds. The gorillas you track belong to one of nine habituated family groups that can tolerate the presence of humans for a brief period every day. The time taken to track the gorillas can be as few as 2 hours to as many as 7 hours. Once the gorillas have been located, your group will be allowed a maximum of one hour with them. Coming face-to-face with a mountain gorilla is a truly humbling and emotional experience. This is a fantastic and privileged opportunity to get up close and personal with Uganda’s very own ‘Gorillas in the Mist’ Journey Time: 10 minutes each way. Luxury lodge located just outside Rushaga (Bwindi Impenetrable NP) All meals included Drinking water (Other drinks not included)

Fantastic personal service planning and communication resulting in an amazing Uganda holiday.

Carol at Gorilla link tours communicated with us on a daily basis via email to develop our personal holiday plan for an amazing holiday . We were met in person at the airport by Carol and introduced to our friendly ,knowledgeable guide,Bob, who accompanied us for 10 days , many many thanks Bob.All the 5 lodges we stayed at were excellent with good food and friendly staff .Bob held all our paperwork for the whole tour , all we had to do was sit back and enjoy the amazing sites .highlights were the chimp and Gorilla tracking and as Bob was local to the area we were very well looked after and I’m sure we had special treatment as a result. At the end of our tour Carol once again met us at an airport hotel to gain personal feedback on our experience print to our flight home a very nice touch which was much appreciated . I would highly recommend Carol and her wonderful team.

Excellent!

Excellent company to use for organising your safari to Uganda and surrounding African countries. First class service and organisation. Very reliable and trustworthy which is critical when you're spending a significant sum of money with a local business who you've no previous experience with. Carol who owns the company provides a very personalised and prompt service and can tailor an itinerary to meet your requirements and budget. We thoroughly enjoyed our two week safari, including gorilla and chimp trekking. It ran very smoothly and Carol suggested some great lodges, which she personally inspects on a regular basis to ensure high standards. Mike our guide/driver was professional and knowledgeable and nothing was too much trouble. We felt comfortable and safe at all times. Uganda is an amazing country to visit and I can highly recommend Gorilla Link Tours to provide you with the perfect safari.

Amazing experience

Carol immediately proved to be very professional in presenting us with a travel proposal and then adapting it to our needs. Since arriving in Entebbe we have always felt safe and in great hands thanks to our guide and driver Richard. Both for the vehicle used and for Richard's experience and friendliness, even the longest journeys have always been pleasant and interesting. The proposed accommodations turned out to be perfect, both in terms of location and quality of the structure. The planning of the itinerary allowed us to visit everything that interested us, with a correct management of the times. We saw chimpanzees, lions, and especially gorillas up close, a unique experience. Uganda is a beautiful and safe country, but with a powerful nature that could interfere with your travel plans, also for this reason I can only recommend that you turn to experienced people like Carol and her team, so that any eventual unforeseen can be resolved without compromising the holiday.
