Gorilla Trekking in Bwindi
After breakfast and the morning briefing you set off on the highlight of the trip, trekking through rainforest and bamboo-covered slopes with a guide and trackers in search of a mountain gorilla family. The walking can be tough and long, but sighting the silverback makes it worthwhile. You are guided to within 6 metres and sit around the gorillas for a whole hour.

Transfer to Entebbe and Flight to Kilimanjaro
After an early breakfast you return from Bwindi to Entebbe, driving down the terraced escarpments of south-western Uganda, the hills of the region dubbed the little Switzerland of Africa. In the early evening you fly to Tanzania, where your guide meets you and transfers you to Arusha.
