This is a four days and three night package to Uganda. Hoghlight would be to gather enriching experience at Biwindi impenetrable forest. Through flying safari we fly you to the forests of Biwindi to ensure that in this short stay you get your fair chances to track the gentle gorillas and primates in their indigenous habitat. The tour ends with some firsthand experience and insights on Batwa clan. Their way of living, humility and ability to interpret smallest of movement in the forest is an asset passed over generations. Pygmy walks, meals and enjoying the folk lore is the best way to wind up the Uganda trip!

Biwindi Impenetrable: Home of the mountain Gorillas. Half of the endangered population of Mountain Gorillas resides in this UNESCO protected world heritage site. To track them is still not easy as the forests are extremely dense and it can take up to 10 hrs to trace your first group of gleeful gorillas. With the very sight of this king of Biwindi would drift away all the tiredness. Nature Walks (only option), trekking with keen eyes and strong foot would make it a unique adventure in rugged forest. There are 300+ other species of colorful birds habituated in Biwindi impenetrable forest.

Batwa has kept its heritage preserved and takes pride in passing it through the generation thread. Their unique ways to bring up the young ones and their incredible skill of interpreting the slightest of forest movements will surely leave you amazed. Spending a day with Batwa – “keepers of the forest” is like going back to the age when culture was the only religion and nature was the only God.
