Day-2 Gorilla tracking at Bwindi Impenetrable National Park and Batwa experience

After having enough relaxation at the hotel, wake up a bit early, have breakfast, and go to the information Centre for Briefing about Gorilla trekking. The Rules and dress codes are similar to the ones of chimpanzees except, here you shall add on No repeating the signs (or mimicking) what the Gorilla has done because you don’t know what that sign may mean to them and can cause danger to yourself or the group.
However, the journey to our next cousins (approximately 96-98% human) is so interesting as we shall enter into the dense tropical/rain forests where you can expect rain at any time and the area is mountainous full of tall and short trees, the area to is home to some forest elephants, antelopes and a variety of birds plus monkeys. The journey may take 2-8 hours (that is going and coming back) including 1 full hour while watching and interacting with our next cousins (beautiful, handsome, gentle giants) under the guidance of armed rangers from the Uganda Wildlife Authority (UWA). During this day, we shall go with our packed lunch and 2litres of bottled mineral water, and in the event that there is/are some senior citizen(s), we shall need a porter at an optional cost, after visiting and viewing the endangered mountain Gorillas of Uganda (approximately 463 in numbers), we shall return to the Gorilla university for Graduation (that is to prove that you have successfully passed all the exams), return to the hotel and relax

Baatwa experience
After having relaxed, we make a visit and follow the trails of the original people/tribe of Uganda who used to live in this forest before 1991-1992/1993 when the park was gazetted and was finally evicted and advised to live with other people in the community but this came at a high cost for them since they were used to free food/meat/fruits/honey and herbal medicine but now have to go to hospitals and pay. This is one of the best experiences one can have in his lifetime and you listen to their story/ies, of the people who were in the forest, see their houses, how they used to live in hats, caves and under the tree plus the way they used to bury their loved one in case of death and the churches they had in the forest, very wonderful experience.

Day-3 transfer from Bwindi Impenetrable National Park to Entebbe International Airport

Morning breakfast and proceed to Kampala for about 8-10 hours. On our to Kampala, we shall pass through Ntungamo town and then the beautiful city of Mbarara where after the city we shall see the beautiful Ankore long-horned cattle only found in this part of the world, on our way to Kampala, en-route at the Equator take some beautiful/memorable Photos, buy souvenirs, have lunch and head straight to Entebbe international Airport for a sweet journey home depending on our departure schedules.
