Uganda’s best-known safari attraction is its magnificent gorillas, which can be tracked in two national parks: Bwindi Impenetrable and Mgahinga Gorilla. But this lush equatorial country has plenty else to offer wildlife enthusiasts. Uganda’s forests rank among the very best places to see chimps roam wild, while the savannahs provide refuge to more typical safari icons such as lion, elephant, giraffe and hippo. Add to this a checklist of 1,080 bird species, most famously the bizarre shoebill, and you’re looking at arguably Africa’s most biodiverse safari destination. True, you can’t see it all in 4 days, but a safari of this duration is more than sufficient to visit a couple of Uganda’s most compelling highlights.

Day 2 — Day 2: Gorilla Tracking in Bwindi and community visit
Get up early at 6:00 and report to the park headquarters with your packed lunch for briefing by the senior park ranger guide. You will then set out to track the gentle giants through thick vegetation as you hike up and down slippery slopes. Be vigilant to listen to their vocal communications and follow them until you finally come eye-eye with them. An hour with them is a guarantee as you observe and learn their habits while taking photos. It is an extraordinary feeling, sitting in the dense rain-forest knowing you are with a few of the last remaining mountain gorillas. In the afternoon you will go for a community visit where you will discover more about the local people.
