Day to day itinerary details
Upon pick up, we’ll head to Bwindi Impenetrable Forest National Park. Start the 10 – 12 hour drive to Bwindi in the morning. Along the way to Bwindi, we’ll stop for photos at the Equator crossing and drive through the scenic western Uganda countryside. Arrive and settle in at your lodge as you prepare for your next days’ trek.
After an early breakfast, head to the park office at 08:00am for a briefing. Thereafter, the rangers will walk you down the narrow forest paths through thick undergrowth, with the bird sounds in the background as you search for the gorilla families. Trekking can take between 2-6 hours. However, once found the experience of watching these incredible primates in their natural habitat is well worth every ounce of energy expended on the tiring forest trails. It is most advisable for trekkers to be in good physical condition before embarking on the trails. Get in close proximity with the gorillas as you quietly observe these pacific primates in their natural habitat. Watch the Gorillas eat, groom and play. After spending an hour with the mountain gorillas, we'll break for a picnic lunch in the forest. Return to the lodge for unwinding and dinner.
After an early breakfast, head to the park office again at 08:00 am for briefing. This time we’ll look for another gorilla family. Follow the footsteps of your ranger in this impenetrable forest. Walk down the narrow forest paths and make your way through thick undergrowth as you search for the other gorilla families. Once you see them, spend up to an hour with them, watching how they feed, play, and also how they communicate with each other. Return to the lodge for the night.
After an early breakfast, transfer to Kisoro where you’ll board for your transfer flight back to Entebbe. You’ll arrive in the mid-morning hours in time to rest a bit as you wait for your flight to your next destination.
