This 3-day safari combines wildlife viewing in Lake Mburo National Park with the unforgettable experience of mountain gorilla trekking in Bwindi Impenetrable National Park. The tour offers a perfect blend of savannah wildlife, scenic landscapes, cultural encounters, and close-up encounters with endangered mountain gorillas. Lake Mburo National Park is Uganda’s smallest savannah national park and is renowned for its large populations of zebras, impalas, buffaloes, and numerous bird species. Bwindi Impenetrable National Park, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, is home to almost half of the world’s remaining mountain gorillas and is one of Africa’s most remarkable wildlife destinations.
The journey takes travelers through Uganda’s beautiful countryside, characterized by rolling hills, terraced farmlands, and traditional rural communities. Besides game viewing and gorilla trekking, visitors enjoy breathtaking scenery, opportunities for photography, and insights into local cultures. This safari is ideal for travelers with limited time who wish to experience two of Uganda’s most celebrated national parks.
Travel is the movement of people between relatively distant geographical locations, and can involve travel by foot, bicycle, automobile, train, boat, bus, airplane, or other means, with or without luggage, and can be one way or round trip. Travel can also include relatively short stays between successive movements.
The origin of the word "travel" is most likely lost to history. The term "travel" may originate from the Old French word travail, which means ‘work’. According to the Merriam Webster dictionary, the first known use of the word travel was in the 14th century.
It also states that the word comes from Middle English travailen, travelen (which means to torment, labor, strive, journey) and earlier from Old French travailler (which means to work strenuously, toil). In English we still occasionally use the words "travail", which means struggle. According to Simon Winchester in his book The Best Travelers’ Tales (2004), the words "travel" and "travail" both share an even more ancient root: a Roman instrument of torture called the tripalium (in Latin it means "three stakes", as in to impale).
