4 Days Bwindi Gorilla Trekking| Murchison Falls Wildlife Safari
Package Overview
On this Uganda safari, you are to track the White Rhinos in the wilds of Ziwa sanctuary in Nakasongola. It’s the only natural habitat for Rhinos in the country but more to them is wildlife like Bushbucks, Oribi etc. In Murchison falls national park, you will browse the savannas for wildlife viewing in this jewel of a park. You will track Chimpanzees in Budongo Forest and as well trek the misty Bwindi for the Gorillas.
Murchison Falls is known for its powerful roaring falls which Sir Samuel Baker described as “the most important object in the entire course of the River Nile”. The falls are 7 meter wide and 45meters deep, characterized by a misty spray and so a visit to the top is the highlight of safaris to the park.
Bwindi Impenetrable forest is located in the southwestern part of Uganda. It’s a misty shrouded tropical mountain forest where you will trek the Mountain Gorilla Great Apes. Trekking in the forest is a remarkable African adventure and meeting the Gorillas is dazzling and emotional.
On this Uganda safari, visit two of the country’s top tourist destinations, Murchison Falls national park and Bwindi Impenetrable forest. You will see the Great 7 including the African Big Five and two of the world’s Great Apes so prepare for this wild adventure.

Tracking through the forest leads you past remarkable rolling landscape and scenery to where the Gorillas will be found and the trek is somewhat demanding, therefore you need to be reasonably fit, and once you come across the Gorillas in the forest, you will spend an hour in their presence and later retreat to the starting point.
