Your first milestone is the Equator crossing in Kayabwe, where you can stand in two hemispheres at once and enjoy a quick coffee break. As you head further southwest, the landscape transforms from lush lakeside plains into the rolling savannahs of Mbarara. The "Land of Milk" offers views of the iconic long-horned Ankole cattle. After a delicious local lunch, the terrain begins to climb, revealing the majestic Kigezi Highlands.

Your morning begins with an early briefing at the park headquarters, where the air is thick with anticipation and the scent of damp earth. Led by expert Uganda Wildlife Authority rangers, you set off into the emerald depths, navigating vine-draped slopes and mist-shrouded ridges. The trek is a sensory masterpiece; every rustle in the undergrowth or distant bird call heightens the excitement. Suddenly, the trackers signal a halt. Ahead, through the dense foliage, the "Gardeners of the Forest" emerge. Finding yourself mere meters from a silverback is a moment of profound recognition. You have one sacred hour to witness their human-like social bonds, from playful juveniles to the quiet authority of the patriarch.

5.0/5One of the best experiences of my life.
In December 2020, I went on a gorilla trekking and safari in Queen Elizabeth national Park with Gerald from Gorilla Safaris. Seeing these majestic animals was enchanting. An experience I would do again in a heartbeat. But what made my trip unforgettable, was the assistance, flexibility and endless knowledge of Gerald. The level of professionalism and patience with my fickle travel companion was impressive. I would very much recommend Gerald and Gorilla Safaris to everyone!
