Itinerary

1. Day 1: Kampala to Bwindi

   • Receive a briefing on the safari, and transfer to Bwindi Impenetrable Forest, southwestern Uganda for your gorilla trek.

   • Meet and greet the local Bwindi guide over breakfast, and drive to southwestern Uganda.

   • En route, stop by a local community popular for making local drums and crafts and a fruit market. Admire and buy yourself souvenirs.

   • Proceed to the Equator line taken as one beautiful scenery in Africa - the pathway of the sun and take photographs. Pass by mountains, tropical rainforest and bamboo forest during the 9-hour journey.

   Overnight at Buhoma Lodge.

2. Day 2: Gorilla Tracking

   • Have breakfast and proceed with the morning briefing.

   • Track the gorillas through the rainforest and bamboo covered slopes, accompanied by a guide and trackers, in search of a mountain gorilla family. The walking can sometimes be tough and long, but when you catch a glimpse of the magnificent silverback, any discomforts will be quickly forgotten. 

   • When the gorillas are sighted, visitors will be guided to within 6 metres from the gorillas, sit around them for a whole hour while gazing into their big round eyes.

   • Expect to walk a long distance in steep and muddy conditions, sometimes with rain overhead, before you encounter any gorillas. A good physical condition is recommended. A ranger will brief you on how to behave with the gorillas.

   Overnight at Buhoma Lodge.

3. Day 3: Return to Kampala

   • Set out early in the morning and head for Kampala. This route travels through breathtaking, beautiful scenery and delightfully rolling plantations, some of the best in Uganda.

   • Tour around Kampala’s crafts and souvenirs markets before checking in at your hotel or being transferred to the airport.
