The 8-day coffee and gorilla experience is a private eco-tourism tour package that takes you to a coffee farm estate in Fort Portal and Bwindi National Park. Your highlights include coffee processing, Gorilla trek, and the Igongo Cultural Centre.
During this safari experience, you will stay at various accommodations for 7 nights:
The 8-day coffee and gorilla experience starts at Entebbe Airport, where you will be met by a company representative / guide who will transfer you to your place of overnight stay. Depending on the time of your arrival, you may visit the Gorilla Conservation Cafe in Entebbe to learn more about coffee in Uganda.
Gorilla Conservation Coffee is a social enterprise of Conservation Through Public Health, an award-winning NGO and nonprofit supporting local farmers and helping to protect endangered gorillas and their fragile habitat.
Today, set off for Clarke’s Farm and Coffee Estate situated on 1,500 acres of land. The farm has seven hundred acres of coffee, mainly Robusta, with a few hectares of Arabica.
It was set up to teach both smallholder and large-scale farmers expert agronomy practices. It also acts as a tool for educating non-farmers or school children on how Ugandan food and Robusta coffee are produced. You will arrive in the evening for relaxation at the lodge.
After a relaxed breakfast, head out for the coffee farm tour. Get immersed on the farm tour led by experienced farm staff. You will be driven through the coffee forest and taken to the nursery and coffee factory where they can learn.
Learn how coffee is grown and prepared for the market. Activities on this tour include picking your coffee cherries or potting coffee trees. The session ends with a unique coffee-tasting and cupping experience in the coffee lab as you discover the flavors of coffee in a whole new way!
After lunch, spend the day participating in activities at the farm. You may embark on scenic walking with amazing hilltop views as you head out for nature river walks, jogging, and mountain biking trails of various difficulty levels, bouldering / rock climbing.
Spend this day at leisure or partake in any other activities you may have missed out on the day before.
After breakfast, head out to Bwindi Forest National Park, the home of the mountain gorillas arriving in the late evening for relaxation.
The journey from Clarke Farm to Bwindi Forest takes you through scenic landscapes, starting with a drive southwest towards Bwindi. As you pass rolling hills, lush greenery, and rural villages, you'll be treated to breathtaking views. The final stretch becomes more rugged, with winding roads leading into the dense, mist-covered rainforest of Bwindi, setting the stage for your gorilla trekking adventure.
In the early morning, you will be briefed on gorilla tracking at the park headquarters and assigned groups of 8 people per group. Accompanied by a guide and your packed lunch, you will go in search of the gorillas in a small group. You walk through the forest, in good spirits you go uphill, sometimes you descend again and then climb up a slope again.
The duration of gorilla tracking is unpredictable. The walk can be quite strenuous due to the muddy trails and mountainous areas, but it is definitely worth it! For an hour, you can spend time with these peaceful ‘Gentle Giants’ as they go about their daily activities of grooming, feeding, and playing. Later, head back to the trailhead and thereafter proceed to your accommodation for relaxation.

Your journey begins at a scenic Coffee Farm Estate in Fort Portal, where you'll explore the fascinating process of coffee production. Proceed to Bwindi National Park for a life-changing gorilla trekking experience, getting up close with the majestic mountain gorillas. Along the way, immerse yourself in the vibrant Ugandan culture at the Igongo Cultural Centre, adding a unique cultural twist to your adventure.
Uganda, aptly named the Pearl of Africa, is a land gifted by nature. It is located in the Great Lakes Region with breathtaking landscapes, extraordinary biodiversity, and unforgettable adventures. This remarkably diverse country is where the East African savannah meets the lush West African jungle, creating an ecological paradise unlike any other.
Towering over Uganda’s landscapes are the majestic Rwenzori Mountains, Africa’s third-highest range, and the dramatic Virunga Volcanoes, while the shimmering waters of Lake Victoria, Africa’s largest lake, cradle its southern border. Lying in a basin between the eastern and western branches of the Rift Valley, Uganda’s elevated position gives it a more temperate climate than its equatorial location might suggest.
Most of the country sits over 1,000 meters above sea level, with a landscape that is largely flat apart from the forested mountain ranges that often define its borders.
One of Africa’s most water-rich nations, Uganda’s lakes, rivers, and wetlands cover 25% of its surface, keeping the landscape lush and green for most of the year—though the northern region gradually transitions into semi-desert.
Nowhere else on the continent can travelers witness such a rich variety of primates with such ease. From great apes—mountain gorillas and chimpanzees—to over a dozen monkey species, Uganda is a primate lover’s paradise. But it’s not just primates that thrive here. With over 1,000 bird species, Uganda is a birder’s wonderland, home to rare rainforest specialists and some of Africa’s most sought-after birds.
They invite you to explore Uganda, a diverse landscape with abundant wildlife, plenty to discover, and unique experiences. When recounting your time in this jewel of a country, you'll struggle to find the words that do justice to it.
During the safari camp, you will be served with daily breakfast, lunch, and dinner and drinking water / refillable water bottle.
