We will depart early morning departure accompanied by a UWA guide to search for one of the world’s most endangered animals, the mountain gorilla! We will descend deep into the forest to find one of the gorilla families. We will spend around an hour in close proximity to the gorillas, observing these magnificent, peaceful animals. 

Depending on how long the gorilla tracking takes, we can spend the afternoon visiting the indigenous Batwa people. The Batwa are one of the oldest ethnic groups in Uganda, who live traditionally in the rain forests. Today, their culture is in danger of going extinct as they face increasing pressure from other. The tour will give you an insight into their way of living, their history and culture. 

The Batwa tour is at an additional cost and dependent on finishing gorilla tracking with four hours left for the Batwa tour.
