Arguably the ultimate wild animal encounter possible! This is also quite a
demanding trek in difficult terrain, often in humid and rainy conditions.
Bwindi Impenetrable National Park has magnificent forests and incredible bird life; both of the habituated gorilla groups in Bwindi number between 16 to 22 gorillas.
Kyambura Gorge in Queen Elizabeth National Park is a unique experience walking down from the flat plains. It is 16km long and about 100 metres deep and is home to chimpanzee, black & white colobus monkeys, red tailed monkeys, olive baboons and a host of bird.
