A 6-day walking safari in Uganda from Entebbe, with gorilla tracking and a guided nature walk and community visit in Bwindi Impenetrable Forest, then a boat trip and hike at Lake Bunyonyi.
A walking-focused trip in south-western Uganda that combines a mountain gorilla trek with time on foot in Bwindi and around Lake Bunyonyi.

The trip then moves to Lake Bunyonyi for an afternoon among its islands and a morning hike above the lake before the drive back to Entebbe.
