3-Day Gorilla Trekking in Bwindi Impenetrable National Park

Our safari guide will pick you up from the airport or your hotel in Entebbe, Kampala, or Kigali after an early morning breakfast at 07:00 hrs.

The safari guide will brief you about the whole safari before you travel to the Bwindi Impenetrable forest area in the southwestern part of Uganda. It is one of the oldest parks here, dating back over 25,000 years. Gorilla trekking in Bwindi National Park is an unforgettable experience to have in your lifetime.

Along the way, there is a local drum-making and craft-making community that you can visit if you are interested.

This will be followed by a stop at the Equator for some candid shots. Feel free to buy some crafts and souvenirs as you head to Mbarara town for lunch, followed by onward travel to Bwindi.

Overnight stay and dinner will be at the lodge in Bwindi.

After an early morning breakfast, drive to the park headquarters, where you will be briefed by the park rangers about the dos and don'ts inside the park. You will be divided into groups of 8.

Continue with gorilla trekking inside the park as directed by the rangers. This is definitely a memorable and amazing experience, as you watch the mountain gorillas feed and play around. This day trip will take about 2 hours or even up to 8 hours, depending on the location and movement of the gorillas. On meeting the gorillas, you can spend one hour with them and take some photos.

Return to the lodge in the evening for rest, or, if interested, you can visit the Batwa community to learn about local cultures, dances, and stories. This visit will cost an extra fee of $20.

After an early breakfast, check out from your accommodation and start your journey back to Kampala, passing by rolling hills with terraces. Enjoy views of lush green vegetation in these areas.

Have lunch at Mbarara and make one more stop at Mpambire Drum Makers point. If interested, you can buy some of these drums.

Continue on to Kampala, where you will arrive late in the afternoon. The guide will drop you off at your hotel or at the airport for your return flight.
