About this experience
This tour takes you to the stunning country of Uganda, known as the "Pearl of Africa" for its stunning greenery, deep lakes, and soaring mountains. You will have the opportunity to visit Bwindi National Park, home to half of the world's remaining mountain gorilla population. You will have the chance to go on gorilla treks to track down these magnificent mammals in their natural habitat and observe their surprisingly human-like interactions. You will also have the opportunity to participate in local cultural experiences, such as the coffee brew experience or the Batwa-pygmies. On the final day of the tour, you will enjoy a scenic drive through the hills and valleys of Uganda, with a stop at the Equator for a photo opportunity before transferring to the airport for your international departure.
