Itinerary
Day 1- Leave Kampala in the morning and drive southwards. A first stop over at the Equator, a famous spot for photography.

Lunch enroute in Mbarara. Dinner and overnight at the lodge/camp. You can choose between classic, midrange and budget accommodation.
Day 2 - Gorilla tracking in the tropical rain forest
After an early breakfast and briefing from the guides, set off for the gorilla tracking in the forest sanctuary. The activity starts at 8.00am.
