Tour summary
Day 1
We leave early and head out of the city we travel west through some sugar plantations and into the beauty of this lush and green country to the secluded Lake Bunyoni, frequented by otters and many birds.
Day 2
Across the mountains, with terraced farms and Long Horn Cattle, to the hustle and bustle of Kisoro, where we spend the night, and prepare for the gorilla trekking the next day.
Day 3
From here we then head into either Rwanda, D.R. Congo or stay in Uganda to trek these famous and beautiful creatures. It may be a long trek, or a short trek, but either way the sight of these gentle giants will not disappoint.
Day 4
From Kisoro, we then head back to Lake Bunyoni where we can take a relaxing boat trip across the lake and reflect on the trekking and rest tired muscles.
Day 5
A drive back through the beautiful countryside to Kampala for an evening on the town.
Day 6
Last day of the trip where you can either visit the Chimps on Ssese Island, or the Kasubi Tombs of the Bugandan people. From here you can fly home.
