Arrive in Entebbe, Uganda, which earns its nickname, the “Pearl of Africa,” from its scenery. Transfer to your hotel for resting and leisure.

Optional: Visit the stunning Entebbe Botanical Gardens

After a relaxed breakfast you will embark on your journey towards the south-western region of the country to Bwindi Impenetrable National Park. This 8 -10-hour journey gives you an opportunity to see the beautiful landscapes and more features of southwestern Uganda.

Stopover in Mbarara for lunch.

Arrive at your accommodation for dinner and overnight.

After breakfast, you will be taken to the park headquarters for a short but important briefing from the park rangers and guides, after which you will be allocated the gorilla family to visit. Enter the forest and start your trek (please note that a drive to the starting point of your trek may be required).

Coming up close to endangered Mountain Gorillas in the forests of Uganda is a thrilling lifetime experience that surely ranks on most people’s travel bucket lists. Trekking at a high altitude through dense forests and up steep terrain can be challenging, especially in the African heat, but the hour you get to spend with these gentle giants is worth every step.

Only 8 guests may visit one gorilla family at a time. One trek per day/ family.

Gorilla Tracking is managed fully by the Uganda Wildlife Authority, with a head ranger, security personnel (who are armed as a precaution against wildlife, among others), and trackers, with optional porters, who walk with the guests until a family is located. Once the gorillas are found, the rangers only take the guests closer to the gorillas, and your viewing time commences, which is one hour.

Porters – they are from the local communities, rotated for revenue sharing, which goes directly to them. Recommended at least 1 per person for trekking. Fees are usually additional to your tour and paid directly.

Return to the lodge for relaxation, and in the afternoon, you will visit the Bwata community for a cultural experience.

Included: Gorilla trekking, Batwa Cultural Experience

It’s time to hit the road again! After checking out of the lodge, begin your journey back to Kampala or Entebbe. Enjoy scenic views along the way and stop for lunch en route. You will arrive at your hotel in the evening, where you can unwind, have dinner, and rest after the long drive.

After breakfast, you will relax or do a short city tour, and depending on the time for your flight, the driver guide will drop you off at the airport for your departure.
