4 Days Uganda Gorilla Trekking & Lake Bunyonyi Safari

The 4 Days Uganda gorilla trekking and Lake Bunyonyi adventure begins from Kampala- Uganda’s capital and concludes in Kampala. This 4 Days Uganda gorilla trekking safari caters to all traveler types, including budget, mid-range, or Luxury Gorilla tours. The Bwindi forest harbors half of the world’s remaining Mountain Gorillas and stands as a prime destination for a Gorilla safari. The trek in Bwindi presents a demanding yet rewarding experience, offering ample time navigating the jungle. Post-Gorilla trekking, you’ll spend a day unwinding at Lake Bunyonyi. Here, you can relax on the shores of Africa’s deepest lake, which is safe for swimming due to its absence of bilharzia and crocodiles. For thrill-seekers, zip-lining across the lake is an option. Note: Your Gorilla trek will occur in either Buhoma, Ruhija, Nkuringo, or Rushaga sectors, contingent on Gorilla Permit availability at booking time. Accommodation also depends on desired amenities or sectors with available Permits.
