Transfer from Kigali, Rwanda to Bwindi National Park in Uganda

Our representative will pick you up in Kigali and drive to Bwindi National Park. The drive to Uganda will go through Rwanda's northern town of Ruhengeri (Musanze). You will then cross into Uganda via the Cyanika or Katuna border post. The trip continues through the nearby Kisoro or Kabale town and finally to Bwindi National Park. The journey from Kigali to Bwindi National Park will take approximately 5 hrs. Arriving at Bwindi National Park in the early afternoon will allow you to do optional activities such as canoeing at Lake Mutanda, visiting the Batwa community, and joining a coffee-making experience.

Gorilla Trek at Bwindi National Park and Drive Back to Kigali

You will head to the Bwindi National Park gate immediately after breakfast to get a briefing about the gorilla trek. The national park guide will conduct a presentation that covers the basics of what to expect during the gorilla trek. The national guide will assign the gorilla trekking group during the pre-trekking briefing. Other visitors will likely join you. The gorilla trek can take a few to many hours, depending on how far the gorillas are inside the forest. After the gorilla trekking adventure at Bwindi National Park, we will return to Kigali. Since gorilla trekking can sometimes take more than 5 hours, it is recommended not to book a flight out of Kigali that departs before 10 pm local time. The Uganda time zone (EAT) is one hour ahead of the Rwanda time zone (CAT).
