This 3 days Uganda Gorilla Trekking Safari in Bwindi Impenetrable National Park will bring you face to face with the massive giants of Bwindi as you embark on the gorilla trek in the thick jungles of Bwindi. Bwindi Impenetrable National Park is located in the south western part of Uganda covering an area of 321 km2 and is a UNESCO World Heritage site. The forest lies at an altitude between 1160 m -2607 m above sea level and is famous for being home to over 300 mountain gorillas. |
Day 1: Travel to Bwindi impenetrable forest for the Uganda gorilla trekking safari
Meal: Lunch and Dinner
Accommodation: Up market – Bwindi Lodge; Mid-range – Haven lodge; Budget – Buhoma community rest camp
Journey time – 8 hours
Your day will start after an early breakfast and you will embark on your gorilla safari southwards to Bwindi impenetrable forest. The journey will offer you highway sights of rural and semi-urban Uganda with several fruit & vegetable markets along the roads, craft and drum makers and a stop at Uganda’s Equator monument where you will cross to the southern hemispheres. After the experience at the Equator, the drive will continue with a stop over in Mbarara for lunch before proceeding to Bwindi with short bathroom stopovers and picture sessions of landscape and other attractions.
Day 2: Gorilla trekking in Bwindi impenetrable forest
Meal: Breakfast, Lunch and Dinner
Optional – afternoon community walk
Today early morning your driver guide will pick you up from the lodge and transfer you to the briefing point by 7 am before you start your gorilla trek at 8 am. On arrival at the briefing place, you will be welcomed and given seats until time of briefing as your driver guide registers you with the ranger on duty to be allocated for a gorilla family. You will eventually meet your ranger guide and start your gorilla trek in the jungles of Bwindi. We advise you to hire a porter to carry your day pack because sometimes the gorillas could be located a distance far from the start of your trek, they can also help push or pull you along the steep slippery paths in the forest.
Day 3: Transfer to Entebbe
Meal: Breakfast and Lunch
Today you drive back to Kampala. Have lunch at the Equator and enjoy picture sessions in both the northern and southern hemispheres. This will mark the end of your lovely Uganda holiday.
