Queen Elizabeth National Park / Big Game Safari:

Bwindi Impenetrable National Park / Gorilla Tracking:
Bwindi is one of the most biologically diverse areas on Earth, recognized by UNESCO as a World Heritage Site. Among the 11 resident primate species are 310 magnificent mountain gorillas, half of the world’s population of this elusive and highly endangered mammal. You’ll enjoy the incomparable experience of tracking, then quietly observing, the mountain gorilla clans that reside in Bwindi’s montane forests. The tracking can be physically challenging. but the rewards are tremendous and the rigors soon forgotten when you spot a gorilla family and become absorbed in watching these gentle creatures. When not observing mountain gorillas, you have time to observe some of the amazing varieties of bird, butterfly, and animal species that make their home in this unusual park. Depart on Day 8 via Entebbe.
