Bwindi Impenetrable Forest
After an early breakfast, head to the Headquarters of Bwindi Impenetrable Forest National Park for an orientation plus meeting the guides as well as separation into the groups basing on which gorilla trekking Uganda group you are to be tracking . From there you will set off for your thrill experience of the Gorillas in the Mist. Hiking within this mysterious and wonderful forest offers quite a lot to see as you make your way to see the Mountain Gorillas. The wildlife including additional primates, butterflies, mammals and birds, will certainly be very beautiful and really enhance this extremely special experience. The trekking can entail some thorough climbing as well as hiking although when you come face to face with the tranquil yet potent Mountain Gorillas, watching them only a few meters away from you observing the group, the baby with the mothers, the gorillas partaking their every day routine just right in front of you is all very overwhelming. You can never find any mountain gorillas living in the zoo, save for just in this not large area of Africa where a number of the remnant mountain gorillas can be seen. After that return to Uganda safaris park headquarters and depending on your level of energy as well as the time, have a village walk, to see traditional lifestyle of the locals, from brewing of the local beer to medicines made from this very forest. Performances of traditional dances plus other entertainment will be offered by the very sociable local people and all this is worth experiencing.

5.00What an amazing experience! The hotel takes care of all of the arrangements - all you have to do is get yourself to the bush plane check in desk in Entebbe (located at the international airport) and they take care of the rest. The lodge is gorgeous and comfortable plus tucked away into the jungle. The actual gorilla trek is a once in a lifetime experience. I'm 70 but in fairly good shape. Had two porters to help me hike up the mountain to see the gorillas in their nest. Spent an hour with the family of gorillas. My friend who isn't in the best of health was also able to see the gorillas because there is a nest close to town - about a 20 minute walk down the road, so she was able to experience seeing the gorillas in their habitat as well. In fact the gorilla center does a good job making sure all levels of people can experience seeing the gorillas. In my friend's group there was also a woman in a wheelchair and a 90 year old lady who they put in what I call a Cleopatra chair with 4 porters hoisting her up to walk down the road to see the gorillas. Such a wonderful opportunity for everyone. The service and food at the hotel are excellent. They offer other local excursions. We did a local tour to an orphanage, a woman's center that teaches women who have lost their spouses a new skill so they can support themselves plus we watched someone make coffee, banana beer and banana gin. Yes we tasted the gin. Tastes just like moonshine! The only drawback is that it is about an hour drive down a bumpy road from Kihihi airport and the hotel/Bwindi Spend the money and go!
You must do this!

5.00It was through a company called Natural Habitat, organized by Jill and Brian of One World Dive and Travel. Both are higher end travel companies, but well worth it. They make sure you know exactly what you are responsible for and what they are responsible for and take care of every trip detail. Remember those companies: Natural Habitat and One World Dive and Travel. Just before the first trek, I hurt my foot and couldn’t put any pressure on it. I was thinking I came all this way only to stay back at the lodge, but two guides lifted me for the entire trek, through rough, steep, densely wooded, lush green and slippery terrain. Everyone was so nice, professional and informative. If I had the money I would go again! Regarding the gorilla trekking, it was one of the most memorable trips I’ve ever been on. You can see a family’s dynamics. We saw them napping and waking up, hugging and grooming. We saw adults and youngsters having discussions and disagreements. We saw infants gently held and being cared for by parents. We saw toddlers tumbling with each other and being disciplined when they got too disruptive with an adult. When adult gorillas looked into my eyes (yes, you get that close), I felt them reaching in and touching my heart strings. You can sense their plight. If you don’t feel anything, then you have no soul. Just go!
