About This Safari

There are fewer than 1,000 mountain gorillas left on Earth, and this four-day journey takes you face to face with them. You'll drive through the terraced hills of Uganda's Kigezi highlands — the 'Switzerland of Africa' — before plunging into Bwindi Impenetrable Forest, where an hour with a habituated gorilla family will leave you fundamentally changed. Finish with a serene afternoon at Lake Bunyonyi, Africa's second-deepest lake, where the adrenaline slowly gives way to quiet wonder.

A moderate level of fitness is recommended. Treks typically last 2–6 hours through hilly, sometimes muddy forest terrain.
