Trip Summary

Departs: Daily private departures based on a minimum of 2 passengers
..................................................
Venture into Bwindi Impenetrable Forest, a dense jungle of thick undergrowth and hanging vines, in search of its most famous residents. The endangered Mountain Gorilla, now habituated, and carefully protected deep in the heart of this pristine forest is why most holidaymakers make the journey to Uganda. Put simply, spending an hour in the company of a family of gorillas is one of the most memorable and awe-inspiring experiences we can share.

Your small group adventure begins in Entebbe, where you will spend a night before your journey to Mahogany Springs Lodge. This impressive, comfortable, and friendly lodge takes its name from the 400-year-old mahogany tree that towers majestically above the lodge gardens. Here you can relish the serenity in one of the finest locations in Uganda’s Bwindi Impenetrable Forest. From the unrivalled service and breathtaking views to world-class cuisine, it is the little touches at Mahogany Springs Lodge that will leave you mesmerised and wanting more.
