Today is one of our tour highlights as we set off on our gorilla trek. You’ll spend an unforgettable day with some of the last Mountain Gorillas on earth. You’ll be telling your family and friends about this day for quite some time! And it’s not just gorillas you’ll see. Uganda’s forests are also famous for their bird life and other forest primates. So get ready to see anything!

After the excitement of yesterday’s trek, today is all about resting. If you’re feeling energetic, you could spend the morning canoeing on Lake Mutanda. This scenic lake lies just north of Kisoro and is home to freshwater Otters and many species of water birds. No need to worry about crocs here! Grab a paddle or just sit back and reflect on your gorilla encounter while we do all the work.
If you’re a coffee fan, then you have the option to visit a coffee plantation and Cooperative where you’ll get the chance to make your own bag of coffee from start to finish. From picking the beans right through to roasting and grinding. And of course tasting!
