Grand Gorilla Flight Tour
In South western Uganda at the edge of the western Great Rift Valley, hugging the border of the Democratic Republic of Congo, lies Bwindi Forest. Theatrical mountain formations are swathed in 331 square kilometers of the thick tropical forest that earned the name ‘Bwindi Impenetrable’. Deep in the undergrowth, we encounter families of mountain gorillas in the intimacy of their own home. Almost every visitor of this secluded habitat describes the meeting as a moving, near spiritual experience never to be forgotten.

Accommodation: Buhoma Lodge
Meal Plan: Half-Board
After briefing, we venture into Bwindi forest on foot and enter a world suspended outside of time! The undergrowth thrives with diverse plants, mammals and birds. Its a gruelling task to press on through walls of vines and vegetation as your hearts pump from effort and anticipation. It may be minutes or hours before we come upon a Gorilla family but when we finally do, the encounter sweeps us into a timeless moment. We watch the juveniles play as the impressive adults groom and keep a sly but watchful eye on their human visitors and in this moment a feeling of kinship rises to close the gap that grew between us and our primate relatives over millennia. We descend elated and arrested in a timeless moment to be told and retold for years to come. Our adventure does not end here, we will return to the lodge to get some rest before we set out to experience the culture of the Batwa Pygmies originating from Ituri forest.
Accommodation: Arcadia Cottages
