NB don’t forget to carry along your packed lunches.It is a humbling experience to stand just meters from man’s distant cousins as they eat, rest, play and bond with their young ones. Follow the mountain gorillas as they range freely in the impenetrable forest and discover their gorgeous natural habitat and the many species they share it with.
Coming face to face with these Gorillas is the most amazing experience you can ever have! You will have a chance to take pictures and enjoy the Gorillas from a close range observing adults feeding, groaning and resting as the youngsters play and move backward and forward in a pleasantly comical demonstration.
After a well-earned trip to the gorillas, you will drive back to your lodge for an overnight. You can rest your tired legs and restorative massage, offered from the gorilla tracking experience!

"Once in a lifetime What an amazing experience. We did this 9-day tour, but in hindsight, I would have added a couple of days. Musa was so helpful in getting us set up for our trip and was very responsive when responding to my questions. Once we were picked up for our trip from Entebbe Airport, our driver Moses, was fantastic. He was very patient with all our questions and helped us to really appreciate Uganda and it’s people. What an amazing country. Everyone was so welcoming and we always felt safe. We did underestimate the amount of money we needed for tips, but they also were happy with US$. Being with the chimps in their natural habitat was a great experience, but the Mountain Gorilla trek was amazing!! The hike was a good distance and not easy, and the tree-climbing at queen Elizabeth national park, but certainly worth all the hard work. I would recommend Ultimate Wild Safaris. They were great and reasonably priced."
