GORILLA
ADVENTURES IN UGANDA! \ "This
is probably the most exciting safari experience you
will ever have. The forest is thick, you are on
foot and suddenly you are surrounded by the
gorillas which seem as curious about you as you are
about them," remarks Sarah Mugabi, Managing
Director, Edsa African Safaris &
Tours. This
eight day adventure begins with a boat cruise in
the Kazinga Channel where more than 600 birds will
greet spectators in Mweya and what is thought to be
the highest concentration of hippos in
Africa. On the second day visitors will go on
a game drive in search of lions, elephants and
buffaloes and a visit to Ishasa famous for its tree
climbing lions. The
third day is not to be missed as explorers track
chimpanzees in Kyamburu Wildlife Reserve. This
beautiful river valley is home to many species of
birds and butterflies. The fourth day enthusiasts
set out early morning through beautiful Savannah
grasslands heading towards Bwindi Impenetrable
Forest National Park where more than 23 different
species of birds have been sighted. The
fifth day is the highlight of Edsa African Safari
& Tours, gorilla tracking and adventure safari
as wildlife enthusiasts proceed for the morning
briefing before embarking on one of the most
exhilarating experiences in life. The tracking
starts where the gorillas were the previous day.
The beauty of this rain forest is spectacular. The
time taken and the terrain varies with the
movements of these great primates. The thrill of
spending time observing these gentle and endangered
giants is an overwhelming, exciting experience to
be long savored. Just 24 permits are issued per day
and are in high demand. It is critical that safaris
are booked as early as possible to avoid
disappointment. The
sixth day is a day of rest after yesterday's long
day. Visitors can either relax by canoeing on Lake
Bunyonyi or go swimming. Cycling and birding are
other activities to relax one's mind after Bwindi.
On the seventh day after breakfast,
travelers set out on a four hour scenic drive to
Lake Mburo National Park for a safari in search of
élan antelope, zebra, impala and is ended
with a boat ride on the lake. The final day of this
memorable adventure has this safari returning to
Kampala and onward to the airport. The
Gorilla Tracking and Adventure Safari can be booked
