Our staff will drive you to Bwindi Impenetrable National Park in the southwest, which will take around 40 minutes. Lunch will be provided at Mahogany Springs Lodge on arrival.

You will trek through thick creepers and undergrowth with your guides to find the gorillas, which can take between 1 and 8 hours. The steeply forested landscape is incredibly dense but crisscrossed by numerous animal trails, allowing access by tourists. You will stay with the gorillas for some time once they are seen.

You can have stopovers in the far countryside that offer chances to view tea plantations along the drive through Fort Portal. Fort Portal is located in the shadow of the legendary Rwenzori Mountains, which forms a mystic backdrop to the beautiful volcanic landscape you are treated to on your drive from the town to the park. Upon arrival, you will check in at your lodge for relaxation. Later in the day, you will be transferred to the Bigodi Wetlands, situated on the Eastern edge of the forest. There, you will take a light walk to observe plenty of wildlife, including birds and many monkey species.

Up to 3 large communities of chimpanzees have been habituated for the trekking adventure. You will locate the chimps without too much strain since the territory of each chimp community is known beforehand by advanced trackers. Your guides will communicate these locations. While you trek through the forest, you will observe plenty of other wildlife. Other primates you may spot include red colobus monkey, L’Hoest's monkey, grey-cheeked mangabey, and vervet monkey.

We spent a week in Rwanda and Uganda with Able - his joy and love of life are infectious and he kept us laughing and full of energy. We loved all of his choices for lodging, and he broke up the longer drives by pointing out things of interest along the way. He was also a great cheerleader for us as we departed on our primate treks!

A dream came true
We just came back to Italy after a beautiful trip in Uganda managed by Able, our local guide, from Ibanga Expeditions. He was really good with us making our days fantastic and funny. Uganda is a wonderful country to visit and Able is perfect to show you the beauty of the nature and the real local life of people. We enjoyed spending time with hom laughing all the time. He love his country and people so much and his Smile is contagious. We suggest people to travel in Uganda with Ibanga !!!

Able was an excellent host and professional in conducting his tour.
I used Able from Las Vegas Tours and Travels to help with transport on a recent work trip. He was punctual and surprised me with some site seeing (Equator Cafe) which I was not expecting. Safe and dependable. I would highly recommend him.

Enthusiastic guide and very good driver
We did a 6 day tour inculding Gorilla's in Bwini national park, Safari in Queen Elisabeth national park, chimpansees in Kibale National Park and rafting on theriver nile in Jinja. Very nice combination of activities in this tour. Able has a lot to tell and is a real ambasador of Uganda. He is really caring for the joy of his guests.
