The best highlights for this trip is the encounter with the great apes in their forest home. Upon transferring from Kampala to Kibale, the experience will start with a chimpanzee walk early morning where you are also likely to see other primates especially monkeys and other species of birds. In the afternoon, you will visit Bigodi swamp, which is sanctuary for many endemic bird species. You will also see for yourself how the local community has contributed to the conservation of the wetland.
​
The gorilla trekking tour will take you to Bwindi impenetrable national park in south western Uganda, a UNESCO world heritage site and an important birding area. The gorilla trek will start early in the morning with a short briefing from park guides on how to conduct yourself as you encounter the "endangered species." The trek in the jungles of Bwindi can take between 5 and 9 hours depending on the areas where you find the gorillas.
