Arrival: You’ll be warmly welcomed and picked up from the airport (or hotel). Additional accommodation before the tour departs can be arranged for an extra cost.

Day One: To Bwindi National Park for Your Luxury Gorilla Tracking Trip:

Embark on an 8-9 hour road transfer from Entebbe/Kampala to Bwindi Impenetrable Forest National Park in south-western Uganda. This park is home to half of the world’s mountain gorilla population, offering a unique opportunity to witness the co-existence of chimpanzees and mountain gorillas. En route, enjoy a stopover at the Equator line for a photographic moment and a simple experiment. After a delightful lunch in Mbarara city, continue your scenic drive to Bwindi Impenetrable National Park.

Day Two: Gorilla Tracking in Bwindi Forest National Park:

After an early morning breakfast, head to the Park headquarters for registration and a comprehensive Gorilla tracking briefing. Join your fellow adventurers and experienced guides for an immersive trek through the dense forest, navigating thick creepers and undergrowth. The search for the gorillas may take from half an hour to three-quarters of the day, offering glimpses of other primates, birds, and rare tree species. Spend a precious one hour with the gorillas once found, creating memories that will last a lifetime. Receive a certificate as a token of your contribution to mountain gorilla conservation.

Day Three: Drive to Lake Bunyonyi:

Depart from Bwindi Impenetrable National Park and proceed to Lake Bunyonyi in Kabale District. Lake Bunyonyi, meaning “small birds” locally, is renowned for its beauty and is one of the deepest lakes in Uganda, second only to its East African counterpart. Formed by lava blocking a river channel, Lake Bunyonyi offers a serene retreat after your gorilla trek. Engage in optional activities around the lake, such as canoe rides and walks, to enhance your experience.

Day Four: Drive to Entebbe/Kampala or Entebbe Airport:

Conclude your memorable safari with a drive back to Kampala or Entebbe for post-tour accommodation, or choose to depart from Uganda. En route, enjoy a second stopover at the Equator line before bidding farewell to the enchanting landscapes and wildlife of Uganda.

Your Luxury Gorilla Tracking and Lake Bunyonyi Safari comes to a close, leaving you with cherished memories and a profound connection to the natural wonders of Uganda.
