Safari Itinerary
Day 1: Transfer to Bwindi Impenetrable National Park
Your adventure begins with an early morning pick-up from Kampala or Entebbe. Enjoy a scenic drive through Uganda’s countryside, passing rolling hills, tea plantations, and rural villages.
You’ll make a stop at the Equator crossing for photos and a short break before continuing towards Bwindi.
Arrive in the evening, check in to your lodge, and relax as you prepare for the next day’s trek
Day 2: Gorilla Trekking Experience
After an early breakfast, head to the park headquarters for a briefing by experienced rangers. You’ll then venture into the dense forest in search of a habituated gorilla family.
The trek can take anywhere from 2 to 6 hours depending on the gorillas’ location. Once found, you’ll spend a magical hour observing them—watching them feed, play, and interact.
After the trek, return to your lodge for relaxation.
