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 16 min drive \- 11.2 miles - Lugard Monument 1 min walk \- 0.0 miles - New Tooro Kingdom Palace 15 min walk \- 0.8 miles - Fort Portal Golf Course 18 min walk \- 1.0 mile - Lake Nyabikere 25 min drive \- 16.2 miles ### Restaurants - The MESH 6 min walk - Little rock cafe 2 min walk - Africana Sports Bar 3 min walk - Friends Pork Village 10 min walk - Cafe Azivia 1 min drive ## About this property ### Maasai Backpackers Home Hostel in the suburbs At Maasai Backpackers Home, you can look forward to a free daily manager's reception, a garden and dry cleaning/laundry services.
