The lodge was a magnificent experience (even though we did not know that the electricity went off in the night - but we overcame that problem). The staff, the lodge, the food - were excellent beyond words!! It all starts with a drive through the Kigezi highlands. Then on to Bwindi to see the Gorillas! More details below. This and all other trips can be customized to your needs. Meet and greet at your accommodation at 0600hrs. An early morning start from Kampala takes you southwest and across the Equator. You drive through savannah grasslands seeing banana plantations and herds of Ankole cattle with their incredibly long curving horns. You then ascend into the Kigezi highlands, known as the “Switzerland of Africa”, with terraced farming and mountain scenery. Drive through to Bwindi. (10 hr drive) After an early breakfast and a briefing by a ranger guide, enter the gorilla sanctuary for your adventure. The beauty of this rain forest is spectacular. The area offers dramatic steeply forested landscape and is incredibly dense, but criss-crossed by numerous animal trails allowing access to tourists. The time taken and the terrain vary with the movements of these great primates. The thrill of spending time observing these gentle and endangered giants is an awesome, exciting experience to be long savored. Many find it to be a rare and moving opportunity. This morning, end your stay in the “Land of the Mountain Gorillas” & depart with great memories of the moments spent with the fascinating Mountain Gorillas. Transfer back to Kampala.

But the main reason for this email is to make you aware of what an EXCELLENT guide we had - Baker. We can not praise enough what a great man he is. He is so incredibly knowledgeable about his country and all the animals and birds. He drove with immense skill and care and we felt very safe at all times with him on the Ugandan roads. He was an excellent guide on all our safari trips, not only making us feel very safe in some potentially precarious situations (especially with elephants!), but also was able to impart such a wealth of knowledge regarding all the birds and animals we saw and the local history of the people and the country as we travelled through it to and from the QE National Park.
We can honestly say that Baker really did make all the difference to our experience and we know it would not have been the same had we not had him. When we return to Uganda for another safari, we will be enquiring as to his availability we can assure you!!
