3 Days Gorilla Trekking Tour to Bwindi

Aside from the below description, we kindly refer you to the itinerary for a day-by-day itinerary of this tour. A trip to Bwindi Impenetrable Forest is a dream for every person who loves adventure, it's a true African Jungle. It is so called because the dense undergrowth, vines and other vegetation make it almost 'impenetrable'. It's mysterious and awesome. The lowland rain-forest and montane forest vegetation constantly struggles to reach heights that will allow it to receive more light. Huge trees are festooned with creepers and parasitic plants such as mistletoe and orchids. Giant thickets of bamboo thrive in the humid atmosphere and, where sunlight breaks through, the elegant heliconia, or lobster claw, spreads its colorful petals. Amongst the dense vegetation the Colobus Monkeys jump from branch to branch, chattering its warning to its fellows hidden by the foliage. Chimpanzees, in families of 20 or 30, make the rounds, searching for fruit and edible plants. Many species of birds can be seen, including various turacos and a great many birds of prey. The forest is sanctuary for almost half the world's population of mountain gorillas(about 330 of 600), which is the rarest race of gorilla. Established as a safe habitat for several families of mountain gorillas it is now the location of an important scientific conservation programme. Gorilla tracking visits are limited to small groups. As you walk among the shadows of the leafy canopy, this rain-forest reveals the smells and sounds of Africa, just as it has been for centuries.

Mountains of the Moon

5.0(1 review)

An incredible trek up Africa's third highest peak. Venture deep into Uganda’s remote Rwenzori Mountains, one of Africa’s most captivating and little-visited high-altitude regions, on this extraordinary African trekking expedition. Known as the Mountains of the Moon, the Rwenzoris are home to Africa’s third-highest peak, dramatic glacial landscapes, and an astonishing variety of flora and fauna found nowhere else on the continent. This challenging ascent takes you from tropical rainforest and bamboo forest to high alpine valleys, boggy moorlands, glaciers, and rocky summits. Our route follows the Kilembe Trail, widely regarded as the most scenic and ecologically diverse path through the Rwenzori range. Towering giant lobelia, groundsels and heather trees dominate the landscape, while duikers, chameleons, and endemic birdlife like the Rwenzori turaco bring the forest to life. The adventure is not only a trek but a true immersion in one of the world’s most unique mountain ecosystems. The highlight of the expedition is the summit of Margherita Peak (5109m / 16,763ft) on Mount Stanley, Africa’s third-highest mountain. Reaching the peak is no easy feat - it requires the use of ropes, harnesses and crampons to cross the glacier and scramble up rock and ice. Though technically moderate, the final summit day is long and physically demanding, but the reward is immense: panoramic views over the Congo, Lake George, and the Rwenzori chain, and the deep satisfaction of having reached a remote and seldom-visited summit. This is more than just a climb - it’s a journey through some of the most varied mountain scenery in Africa. You’ll trek past crashing waterfalls, mossy valleys, ancient glaciers, and remote camps perched high above the clouds. Along the way, you’ll be led by expert Rwenzori guides and rangers with deep knowledge of the region, and supported by a team committed to safety, responsible travel, and exceptional service. With decades of experience operating mountain treks around the world, World Expeditions offers unmatched support for this expedition. All meals on trek, quality gear, experienced local support staff and carefully planned acclimatisation make this journey not only achievable for fit trekkers but a rewarding adventure for those seeking one of Africa’s most thrilling and under-the-radar summits.
