Safari highlights
5 Days gorilla and wildlife safari ,We will travel into two national parks which are completely different in natural settings. Bwindi is forested and in the volcanic highlands. Lake Mburo is plateau woodland with large herds of mammals grazing in the open settings, with other wildlife species following suit. We will do two boat cruises; one in a deep crater lake surrounded by steep volcanic mountains and another in a shallow lake resulting from blocked rivers. These different settings give travelers on safari into Uganda a balanced view of African countryside settings.
