3-Day Gorilla Trekking Tour in Bwindi with Lake Bunyonyi

Your private tour guide/driver will meet you at the airport and brief you about your tour.

You will then set off for Bwindi Impenetrable National Park. We hope your flight is scheduled for an early morning landing in Uganda, as the safari will start from Entebbe Airport upon your arrival.

You will drive through southwestern Uganda, stop at Mbarara for lunch, and continue to your destination through the Kigezi Highlands, commonly referred to as "the Switzerland of Uganda".

When you arrive in Bwindi Impenetrable National Park, you will check in at your accommodation and relax as you prepare for the Bwindi gorilla trekking experience planned for the next day.

After an early breakfast and a briefing by a ranger guide, you will enter the gorilla sanctuary for your adventure. The rainforest is incredibly dense but crisscrossed by numerous animal trails that allow access for tourists.

Once you locate a gorilla group, you will be allowed one hour in their presence. Observing these gentle and endangered giants is an awesome and exciting experience.

Return to your lodge for lunch and thereafter check out for a transfer to Lake Bunyonyi, which is framed by lush, green-terraced hills that rise to a height of 2,200 - 2,478 m. Still, it is the 29 islands of various shapes and sizes scattered across the water that make it utterly magical.

Have a relaxed breakfast, and then you may opt to enjoy a swim in the lake before setting off on the journey to Entebbe via Mbarara. Stop at the Igongo Cultural Centre for lunch and enjoy traditional dishes.

You will also have the option to visit the cultural museum here before you embark on your drive to Kampala.

You can stop at the Equator on your way to the airport for more photos and browse the gift shops to secure your memorabilia as a commemoration of your gorilla and wildlife safari in Uganda.
