Today we travel along from Mburo towards the Kabale region, and then into the mountainous area of the lush Uganda Highlands – the ‘Switzerland of Africa’ – with great views and vistas of this beautiful green area, from here we continue to Bwindi Impenetrable Forest, for your gorilla tracking base. It will be a fairly long day in the vehicle, passing some interesting scenery, farmland and lush green hillsides, but you have the rest of the afternoon to relax at the lodge and enjoy the views across the forest.

Overnight: Buhoma Lodge – is located only 5 minutes walk from Bwindi Park Headquarters. The lodge consists of 8 traditionally built wooden cottages. With en-suite bathrooms and hot and cold running water this is a lovely place to stay. If you’re lucky you may even spot gorillas walking past the property. (B/L/D)
