About the trip

This small-group adventure by G Adventures travels across Uganda in a robust Land Rover, known locally as the 'Lando', offering views of constantly changing landscapes. The journey includes a trek through the Bwindi Impenetrable Forest, where visitors track mountain gorillas guided by experienced trackers and accompanied by armed guards to ensure safety.

The itinerary also takes you to Kalinzu Forest Reserve, home to chimpanzees, and the town of Jinja, which sits beside the Nile and offers an option to raft its white waters. Nights are spent camping with participation from the group in daily tasks, all under the expansive African sky. The meals are prepared by the group’s leaders using local produce, providing a simple, direct connection to the environment.

Travelling involves long, sometimes bumpy drives on varying road conditions, but these are rewarded by close encounters with Uganda’s wildlife and the experience of staying close to nature amid basic camping facilities. The trip balances the challenge of overland travel with the thrill of seeing endangered species in their natural habitats.
