Uganda is known for its gorillas; in fact more than half of the world’s population of just 600 live in Bwindi Impenetrable National Park. Located at the crossroads of West African jungle and East African savannah, safaris in Uganda offer a greater diversity of wildlife, people and landscapes than any other African destination making for one of the richest experiences in all Africa. With lion, leopard, buffalo and elephant on the savannah, chimpanzees and gorillas in the forests and mountains, it is also considered Africa’s finest birding country with some 1,000 recorded species. Vassa Holidays Pvt Ltd in partnership with Sanctuary Lodges has Sanctuary Gorilla Forest Camp, a permanent luxury tented camp nestled on a mountainside in the misty rainforest in the heart of Bwindi in Uganda. It is one of only two properties within the park’s boundaries, making it an ideal base for gorilla trekking, primate viewing and birding excursions in the park. Vassa Holidays Pvt Ltd’s expertise and the comfort of Sanctuary Lodges make our gorilla trekking and Uganda safaris an inspirational experience.
