3 Days Uganda Day Gorilla Trekking Exposure Safari

3 Days

Bwindi National Park is the largest national park that is home to the remaining mountain gorillas found in only three countries. Covering an area of 321 square kilometers, it is one of the oldest national parks in the world. Approximately 800 mountain gorillas live in the park, along with various other wildlife, including primates, birds, trees, and antelopes. Gorilla trekking can take anywhere from 30 minutes to three-quarters of a day, depending on the location of the mountain gorillas and where they last fed and nested. It is important to note that these are wild animals that are constantly on the move.
