Camping
Dinner and over night at Volcano tented camp, Mantana tented camp or Buhoma homestead.
Day 6 - Uganda
Adventure
After breakfast and briefing from your guide, visit the gorilla sanctuary. This incredibly dense forest is practically impenetrable. It is, however, criss-crossed by animal trails, allowing ample access for tourists. The mammals include the endangered mountain gorillas, rare golden monkey, elephant, buffalo, bushbuck, and black fronted duiker. The main activity in this park is gorilla trekking. As you slog your way, you realize that it will take quite a while to find these giants. Traveling over such terrain also requires much physical stamina. And finally, though exhausted you will come face to face with these majestic primates, feeling exhilarated because you will know that this memory will last forever.
Camping

Day 7 - Kampala
Safari
