On a Gorilla trek in Uganda we saw this young gorilla. They did not know the sex yet. We were told we were very fortunate to see him/her. The white around their mouth is from a fruit they eat. A Gorilla trek is fantastic. It helps to pay for their protection and also helps the community. A win win situation. #Wildlife](https://images.trvl-media.com/place/6206494/9fa791e1-c341-4e7b-b87b-9fedd56a5a84.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=115.61&rh=65.03&ra=fit&q=high) Kibale National Park 18 min drive \- 12.1 miles - Fort Portal Golf Course 3 min drive \- 1.2 miles - Lugard Monument 3 min drive \- 1.2 miles - New Tooro Kingdom Palace 4 min drive \- 1.6 miles - Lake Nyabikere 28 min drive \- 17.8 miles ### Restaurants - The MESH 4 min drive - Little rock cafe 3 min drive - Africana Sports Bar 3 min drive - Friends Pork Village 4 min drive - Cafe Azivia 5 min drive ## About this property ### Kalitusi Backpackers Hostel and Campsite Property highlights Kalitusi Backpackers Hostel and Campsite provides a garden and more.
