GORILLA TREKKING EXPRESS
Bwindi
Impenetrable is a park located South western Uganda. It is often referred to
as Impenetrable forest as well as perceived to be a Mountain Gorilla
sanctuary even though it has more than ten other species of primates e.g.
chimpanzees, Columbus monkeys, baboons among others. Bwindi Impenetrable
also encompass one of the richest areas in Africa for flora and fauna.
Gorilla trackers are advised to be patient and prepared to scramble through
more bushes than would be necessary since the gorillas are not habituated to
human contact.

An early morning start from Kampala takes you southwest and across the
Equator. You drive through Savannah grasslands seeing banana plantations and
herds of Ankole cattle with their incredibly long curving horns. You then
ascend into the Kigezi highlands, known as the
"Switzerland
of Africa",
with terraced farming and mountain scenery. Drive through to the gorilla
sanctuary. Overnight at you Gorilla Forest Camp or in one of the bandas in
the forest, L,D.
DAY 2:
An early rise being the best time to enjoy the beauty and freshness of the
forest, home of the mountain gorillas. After a short briefing by the guides,
proceed through dense bush to trek for these endangered animals. Other
primates living in the forest include the black-and-white Columbus monkey,
red tail monkey and chimpanzee. Return to your Luxury Camp or Banda dinner
and overnight, B,L,D.
DAY 3:
After breakfast, drive back to Kampala with an en route lunch at Lake View
Hotel in Mbarara, B,L.

poncho, long sleeve shirts, long pants, a light back pack, and water-bottle.

Mount Kenya is Africa’s
second highest mountain at 5,199m (17,058
feet) and the highest of all Kenya
Mountains. Mount Kenya is roughly circular, about 60km across at the
200mm contour, where the steep font hills rise out of the gentler slopes
of the centered highlands. At the centre of the massif, the main peaks
rise sharply from around 4,500m to the main summit of Batian 5,199m,
Nelion 5,188m and point Lenana 4,985m. Other major summits on the
mountain include Point Piggott 4,957m, Point Dutton 4,885 and Point John
4,883m. Of the three main peaks (Batian, Lenana and Nelion), only point
Lenana can be reached by trekkers and the other two being only for
technical climbers. |

Africa's highest
mountain, Mount Kilimanjaro stands on featureless part of the East
African plateau, on the Tanzanian side of the Kenya border near Moshi,
side by side with the smaller Mount Meru. These mountains are extinct
volcanoes, with Kilimanjaro actually being the agglomeration of three
distinct volcanoes, Kibo (5896m/ 19,340 ft), Mwenzi (5,149 / 16,896 ft)
and Shira (3,962m / 13,000 ft). whose violent creation is geologically
associated with the creation of the Great Rift Valley, 100km to the
West. |

Mount Meru is Mount
Kilimanjaro's little sister, standing at 4,566m compared to 5,895m, but
is still an impressive freestanding volcano, which makes a superb four
day climb to the top. It last erupted in 1910 therefore can be
classified as an active volcano. The first Mount Meru ascent was made by Dr. Fritz
Jaeger, 1904. The town of Arusha lies at the base of Mount Meru
Trekking, loads of trek companies do this trek. Wild animals are
frequently found on this mountain therefore an armed ranger usually
accompanies the trekkers. |
