Our closest surviving cousins, the endangered Chimpanzee, the endangered Red Colobus monkey, and the uncommon L’Hoest’s monkey, all call it home. One of the most varied and highly populated regions in Africa, the forest is also home to 13 different species of primates, including the Grey-cheeked Mangabey, Blue Monkey, Black and White Colobus, Red-tailed Monkey, Bush baby, and Pottos.

Meals: (Breakfast, Lunch, Dinner).
Day 8: Gorilla Trekking in Bwindi.
Set out early with guides to track the gorillas after breakfast. The excitement of your experience will overshadow the challenges of the possibly taxing hike. Due to the park’s frequent rain, pack rain gear and jungle boots. Take some time to observe the gorillas in awe as they go about their daily lives. Although every gorilla safari experience is unique and offers unique benefits, you are likely to appreciate the up-close look at adults feeding, cleaning, and relaxing as the young playfully swing and frolic from vines.
The stunning green expanse of dense rainforest known as the Bwindi Impenetrable Forest is so old that it withstood the previous ice age. One of the planet’s most biologically varied regions, it was recently designated a World Heritage site. Its rare and valuable vegetation supports around half of the world’s estimated 720 mountain gorillas. Additionally, there is a sizable chimpanzee population, and studies reveal that Bwindi is the only African forest where these two apes coexist.
