Bwindi Impenetrable National Park
Bwindi is one of the richest, oldest and most diverse rainforests in Africa. Among its 120 species of mammals are over 500 mountain gorillas — half the world’s wild population — some habituated to allow visitors to observe them. Buhoma Lodge is situated just inside the park boundary, only two minutes’ walk from the trekking assembly point at the headquarters. This luxurious lodge also offers great in-house wildlife viewing. Playful black-and-white colobus and L’Hoest’s monkeys swing past on a regular basis, while a giddying variety of colorful forest birds flit through the surrounding jungle.

Day 3 | Gorilla Trekking
Fuel up with an early breakfast before joining your gorilla trekking guide, who leads you into the impenetrable forest to find the forest’s most famous residents. Gorilla trekking is relatively difficult— six hours or longer is not unheard of – but the reward is worth it: the chance to observe wild mountain gorillas from just meters away, with no bars or barriers. Spend an hour in the company of these magnificent creatures as they forage, play or simply lounge amid the greenery, their affinity to humans apparent in every interaction and glance. Return to the lodge and relax or, if time allows, go on a forest or community walk with your guides.
