Day 2: Buhoma - Bwindi Impenetrable Forest
This day is the highlight of your safari. After an early breakfast your trackers who will be your guides for the day will meet you. After a thorough briefing on do’s and don’ts you set out to the thick vegetation in search of Gorillas. It is not easy to predict where or how far away the gorillas will be, as they can move considerable distances when feeding. Therefore you have to be prepared for a hard and tiring walk over steep hills, which can be slippery due to frequent showers. However, when you find the Gorillas your fatigue is forgotten and replaced by a feeling of excitement and fascination, as you watch these gentle primates feeding and playing. You remain with the group for an hour, and start making your way back. Stop on your way back for a picnic lunch. Dinner and overnight in Buhoma.

Day 3: Bwindi
Re- enter the forest for a second exciting day of Gorilla tracking and trekking in the Bwindi Forest with its beautiful waterfalls and marvel at the splendor of this ancient African forest. Return for dinner and overnight.

Day 4: Bwindi-Lake Bunyonyi
Depart and drive to lake Bunyonyi; the lake known for its abundance in small bird species like the Avian. You may take a canoe ride on this beautiful and narrow lake that is surrounded by green hills before dinner and overnight.
