Tag 7-8
Uganda is home to half of the world's remaining population of mountain gorillas, making it a premier destination for gorilla trekking. These gentle giants can be found in the misty forests of Bwindi Impenetrable National Park and Mgahinga Gorilla National Park. With just around 1,000 mountain gorillas left in the wild, encountering them in their natural habitat is a rare and awe-inspiring experience that we will remember forever! After our gorilla trekking, we will head to Lake Bunyonyi, where we will spend the night at a lake resort. Lake Bunyonyi is often referred to as the "Place of Many Little Birds." If we have some time left, it is possible to go canoeing or visit the local community.
