3-Day Gorilla Trekking Tour in Bwindi with Equator Stop

• After an early breakfast, meet and greet your Ugandan guide at your hotel.
• Begin the drive to south-western Uganda.
• Your first stop will be at the Equator for photos and the famous water experiment to prove that you are standing in the middle of the Earth. You can also taste Uganda's coffee at the restaurants around.
• Lunch break will be in Mbarara town.
• Continue your journey to Bwindi Forest, passing through Kabale, the last town before reaching the forest, with your Ugandan tour guide.

Dinner and overnight at a lodge in the forest.

• After an early breakfast, drive for a few minutes to the park offices for registration and briefing. Here, you will meet other tourists and sit in a common room for a general briefing, after which you will be divided into groups of only 8 people, the limited number allowed for each gorilla family per day.
• Sometimes you will drive for a few minutes to the starting point, or you might start the walk from the offices - it depends. Gorilla tracking is a once-in-a-lifetime experience; getting closer to these primates and looking them in the eyes is the best moment ever.
• Walking through this thick forest is beautiful, with lots of birds, lots of monkeys, and different tree species. Gorilla tracking takes between 2 to 8 hours, depending on the movement of the gorillas as they feed on a given day.
  • Optional: If you come back early, you can visit the Batwa/Pygmies community.

Dinner and overnight at the lodge.

• After breakfast, drive back to Kampala or the airport, depending on your flight plans, with your Ugandan tour guide.
• Lunch will be on the way to the Equator, and you will also have time to visit the craft shops around for souvenirs.
• Later, proceed to Kampala or the airport.
