The buses take us exactly to the point in the Bwindi Impenetrable National Park from which we started our gorilla trekking [komoot.de/tour/1357018913]. Here we get on our bikes and initially cycle on an easily accessible gravel track through the rainforest until we pass the gate at its border.

In the evening, after our encounter with the gorillas [komoot.de/tour/1357018913] and the subsequent rainforest hike [komoot.de/tour/1352386093], we take a stroll through the village of Ruhija, located near our lodge, where we also purchase some souvenirs.
As we pass the village school, we are already

After we only had to penetrate a few hundred meters into the rainforest during gorilla trekking [komoot.de/tour/1357018913], we now feel the need to explore it in more detail on a special hike. Because of the forest elephants that live here, this is only possible when accompanied by armed rangers, so

On day 10 of our cycling trip through Uganda, the time has come: today we're going to visit the mountain gorillas in Bwindi Impenetrable National Park, the main reason for many travelers to Uganda (not for us) and the absolute highlight. We know

After a morning game drive (with one of our buses, I have put four pictures before the photos of the bike tour) through the Queen Elisabeth National Park and a two-hour transfer by bus, we cycle again. Our short but beautiful MTB tour takes us over a challenging clay track through hilly areas, passing

On day 8 of our cycle tour through Uganda we go from our lodge along an asphalt road down to the Queen Elizabeth National Park, which we then cross on a gravel track. Elephants and buffalo live here, and because of the danger these animals pose, our buses always stay close by.
Soon after the start it

On day 7 of our cycling trip through Uganda, we crossed the equator by bus (not for the first time). Just a few meters east of the road, the equator (the zero degree of latitude) intersects the 30th degree of longitude, so the confluence point 0° 30°E can be easily visited there.

After we have settled into our lodge, we take an evening walk along the Guerza Nature Trail, a few hundred meters long, right on the edge of the rainforest. For safety reasons, deviating from the trail is actually not allowed, but we spontaneously follow a narrow path into the wilderness and come across

On the last day before the flight back to Germany, an hour-long bus ride from southern Uganda takes us back to Entebbe. Where we cross the equator from south to north, we take a break for lunch and a walk. Here, as at the confluence point 0° 30°E [komoot.de/tour/1349648235], the equator is marked on
