Day 2

Bwindi - Gorilla trekking
After breakfast with packed lunch, Hikers will love the adventure of tracking the gorillas in the beautiful ecosystem of the park. As gorilla tracking is unpredictable, it is difficult to foresee how many hours you will actually hike. It may take up to 8 hours, and you should be prepared to a walk long distance in steep and muddy conditions, sometimes with rain overhead, before you encounter any gorillas. Anyone who has made the trek will be quick to say that in any circumstances the thrill of seeing the gorillas makes it all worthwhile. For conservation purposes, time spent with the gorillas is limited to one hour. The ranger guide always briefs you on how to behave with these gentle giants. Dinner and overnight at,

Day 3

Bwindi - Kampala
Have your early breakfast before embarking on our return to Kampala, drive down through the grassed and terraced escarpments of southwestern Uganda while taking in the breathtaking sights of the hills of the region known as ‘the little Switzerland of Africa'. This area is a highly fertile, mountainous region with steep sided hills covered from top to bottom in neatly terraced cultivated rows. Continue through Mbarara, the land of the long horned Ankole cattle. A remarkable highlight of this journey is the Equator line and surely you will cross it as we have a brief sop here. Arrive Kampala in the evening to be dropped at your accommodation.

Important Notice : Avoiding Fraud

It's rare, but some helpful hints to watch out for with regards to fraud:

  • It is important to NEVER wire funds or use/employ other fund transfer mechanisms such as western union: Always use a credit card to protect yourself against fraud. If owners pressure you into providing a deposit or refuse to accept credit cards, there is a high probability that this is a scam.
  • If at all suspicious of fraud, ask to see their website, or any other literature they can provide or send to you. Ask them for contact details for guests who have previously stayed on their property insisting on telephone numbers. Be suspicious of emails that originate from free email services (yahoo, hotmail, gmail, etc)
  • Research the property thoroughly on the internet to see if there is any history or mention of scams associated with the property.
