This safari was developed for visitors that wish to have a relaxed Gorilla tracking safari combined with an excursion to Lake Mburo National Park which is home to 350 bird species as well as zebra, impala, eland, buffalo, oribi, Defassa waterbuck, leopard, hippo, hyena, topi and reedbuck.
Horse safaris are an awesome way to see the wildlife at a close range. Without the noise of an engine you can hear so much more and you really feel part of nature. Riding a horse means you often get the chance to see the timider animals. Watching animals from a horse is so peaceful and a totally different experience from being on a game drive; zebras come towards you to check out the strange relative without stripes. Even the eland that are usually very shy, look curiously at the horses without running away, but keep their distance
It further takes for the most thrilling adventure on earth to interact with the most world’s shy primates (Gorillas) that every tourist is looking for during their visit in Uganda making it a memorable one
