3 Days Wildlife tour itinerary for Kampala & Bwindi Impenetrable National Park: Search For A Mountain Gorilla Family

Start this day with your Bwindi driver-guide picking you up from the airport and embarking on an exciting road drive to extreme southwestern Uganda.

A stopover for lunch will be made in Mbarara.

On arrival, check-in at the lodge for relaxation. The dense rainforest of Bwindi, famous for its gorilla population, is one of the most fertile and rich in the world, being home to a variety of primates, animals, insects and exotic birds.

Savour dinner and overnight stay at lodge amidst the forests and verdant hills of Bwindi.

Early morning breakfast and proceed to the briefing point.

Enjoy the highlight of your trip - Gorilla trekking, which may last from 2 to 6 hours depending on the group you are visiting.

Trek through the rainforest and bamboo covered slopes, accompanied by a Uganda Wildlife Authority guide and other 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. Due to the nature of the activity, you will have packed lunch.

After Gorilla Trekking, you will drive through the terraced hills to Lake Bunyonyi. Besides canoeing, there is a shortlist of optional activities: swimming (safe in this lake), hiking on some of the Island trails along the lake-shores, community walks and having a chance to meet the local people with small resident and exotic bird species singing.

After breakfast, you will check out and embark on an exciting road trip back to Kampala with lunch en-route and be transferred to Entebbe International Airport to board your flight back as you say farewell to the pearl of Africa, late evening.
