Day 2  Mgahinga Gorilla National Park

The highlight of any trip to Africa - a trek to visit the rare Mountain Gorilla. Mgahinga National Park is a small reserve bordering the Congo and Rwanda in an area known as the Virungas. It was created to protect the environment of the gorilla families inhabiting the volcanic slopes. Uganda is host to over half the remaining gorilla families that inhabit the parks in the 3 neighboring countries. Accompanied by KWA guides, you trek through the short scrub and bush until the family of Gorillas is found. This could take anywhere from 40 minutes to 4 hours, depending on where the family is located within the Park. Once found, the maximum time allowed to photograph( Flash cameras are not acceptable) and view the gorillas is one hour. To sit with these magnificent creatures is a tremendous experience and creates many memorable moments. On your return to the Lodge/ Hotel   for dinner and  your overnight stay. (L,D))

An early start this morning as we make our return journey to Kampala, stopping for lunch in Mbarara. Re-crossing the Equator we arrive in Kampala in the early evening, and the end of a memorable safari. (B,L)
