Safari highlights
4 Days bwindi and lake mburo park safari. The safari starts in the Lake Victoria basin with lush vegetation, traverses Ankole plateaus with woodland and grassland vegetation onto the highlands of Kigezi reduced to bare ground due to high population pressure and human settlement. The travelers will spend one night in this unique Kigezi highland environment and trek Mountain gorillas in their natural wild settings; the Bwindi rainforests. Lake Mburo is an open woodland / grassland wilderness and a perfect rendez vous to relax, refresh and rejuvinate the energies after the tiring gorilla trekking expedition. The travelers on safari will explore the aquatic wildlife species on an exciting boat cruise, wander into the woodlands and discover the feeding zones of large mammal species. The safari is ideal for travelers with an urge to trek gorillas and explore open wilderness in a limited amount of time.
