4 Days Bwindi Gorillas & Wildlife Safari

Arrive early enough in either Ruhija or Buhoma in preparation for gorilla trekking the next morning. In the evening, a community walk to the Pygmies (Batwa) may lighten your safari. Attend the traditional dance and songs from these “Aborigines” of Uganda who left the forest recently following Uganda Wildlife Authority’s move to boost the conservation of the mountain gorilla in this natural forest.
