Day 1 Kampala/Southwestern Uganda
Depart Kampala early and drive through magnificent countryside and tropical bamboo forest on our way to southwestern Uganda (approximately 9 hours). We will make some stops along the way; at the equator and for lunch in Mbarara. We continue through stunning volcanic landscape adorned with steep sided hills covered from top to bottom in neatly terraced tea and banana plantations.

Following an early start we are led by experienced guides as we trek deep into the forest on the slopes of the volcanoes in search of a family of mountain gorillas for an amazing interactive experience.
