Details

The 3 Days Uganda Gorilla Safari Adventure starts from Kigali Rwanda and ends in Kigali. It can be customized depending on the travelers interests and needs that may include exclusive gorilla trekking where you visit the gorilla family alone (Gorilla Habituation) and an extra cost charged.

We will pick you up at Kigali Airport or Hotel and drive you to Bwindi National Park. The scenic drive to Uganda will go through Rwanda’s northwestern town of Ruhengeri, the gateway to Volcanoes National Park, another popular spot for mountain gorilla tracking. We will then circle around the mountains to cross over into Uganda via the Cyanika border posts. We will wind through the mountain roads to our final destination - Bwindi, arriving early afternoon. Spend the afternoon as you wish and choose from our array of optional activities.

Today is the main event, our Uganda gorilla trek! You will embark on a full-day adventure to track the mountain gorillas in Bwindi Forest National Park. This national park is the home to roughly half the world’s population of mountain gorillas, making it the destination for tracking. The trek will commence with a short briefing on gorilla trekking rules to ensure the safety of guests and the protection of these animals in their natural habitat. You will then start the trek into the impenetrable forest to encounter the gentle giants of Bwindi National Park. This is a true adventure and part of the excitement is finding the gorillas. Follow the guides as they make paths through the thick vegetation until the special moment that you encounter these majestic creatures. It is a truly unique experience and will surely be one of the standout moments of your trip. After the gorilla trek, head back downhill and return to the lodge to relax, eat dinner, and to enjoy well-earned night’s rest.

On day three, you depart Bwindi Impenetrable National Park for Kigali, as we end the trip. But not so fast. Make the most of your morning by choosing another optional activity such as visiting Gorilla guardians village near Volcanoes national park. You will get to know about Rwanda way of living through cultural performance and later proceed to Kigali.
