Day 4
Gorilla Trekking and Batwa Experience
The highlight of your safari will be meeting the gentle giants of Bwindi National Park! Enjoy the fullness of the impenetrable forest abounding with life, host to several species of birds, butterflies, primates, and mammals. Eventually, with the help of your guide who is also a park ranger, you will find yourself face to face with the enormous and rare mountain gorillas. The trekking experience takes anything from one hour (rarely) to about 8 hours to accomplish. However, you only have one hour with gorillas to capture your finest moment. Suggested activities for those not interested in gorilla tracking are a community village walk or a short guided forest walk.

5.0/5Magical /spectacular—a truly transformative adventure filled with breathtaking wildlife encounters
Our safari with Ngoni Safaris was nothing short of spectacular—a truly transformative adventure filled with breathtaking wildlife encounters, impeccable daily service from Reagan our personal guide , driver , who’s role included seamless logistics that exceeded every expectation, making it the trip of a lifetime with memories we'll cherish forever. From trekking with gorillas , cheetahs and rhinos to intimate moments with lions, elephants, hippos and more, every game drive / boat safari was magical. Our guide Reagan was incredibly knowledgeable and passionate and brought the wilderness alive with his knowledge and made us feel completely safe and immersed. We highly recommend Ngoni Safaris to anyone dreaming of an authentic, unforgettable African adventure.

Once in a lifetime Experience
It was an absolutely fantastic experience. The diversity of this trip is incredible and hard to beat; we saw the Big 5 and much more. But meeting the gorillas was definitely the highlight for us. The trip was perfectly planned by Ngoni, and they took care of all our needs during the trip. We didn't have to worry about a thing. A big thank you also goes to our wonderful guide Hillary, who had extensive knowledge about his country, animals and culture. We had a lot of fun together and can only recommend him. This trip was a 10/10!

Excellent, reliable tour organization
It was a fantastic trip, far exceeding all our expectations. Precise organization, first-class accommodations, maximum service, excellent guide. The standard tour was fine tuned according to our interest and request. Sedrick was very flexible, managing changes due to our flight schedule change and offered accomodation upgrades during our trip. Our guide Mubarack is the best!
