Day 1

Transfer to Bwindi Impenetrable National Park

Transfer to Bwindi Impenetrable National Park

A Tubale Safaris guide will pick you up from a designated location and transfer you to Entebbe Airport for your inbound flight to Bwindi Impenetrable National Park, landing at Kihihi airstrip.

After landing, a Tubale Safaris guide will eagerly wait to transfer you by road to your private overnight lodge. There are two flight departures from Entebbe to Bwindi—one in the morning and another in the afternoon, allowing you to choose the flight that best suits your schedule. Morning flights typically depart Entebbe for Bwindi at 7:45am while afternoon flights leave at 12:30pm daily. For the southern sectors of Bwindi, only one morning flight departs Entebbe for Kisoro airstrip each day at 7:45am due to challenging weather conditions in the area during the morning hours. Inbound flights usually take about 1 hour and 30 minutes, depending on the day's routing.

Depending on your arrival time, here are some optional activities like a forest walk and a Batwa community walk.

Main Destination:
Bwindi Impenetrable National Park (Gorillas)
Best Time To Visit June to August and December to February (Gorilla trekking is easiest)

Day 2

Gorilla Tracking at Bwindi Impenetrable National Park

Gorilla Tracking at Bwindi Impenetrable National Park

After enjoying your early morning breakfast and packing your picnic lunch, you will head to the park headquarters to register and join other guests for a briefing on the do's and don'ts of the activity. Gorilla tracking will commence at exactly 8:00am.

As you enter the forest, you will trek through thick creepers and undergrowth with the help of your guides and porters in search of the gorillas. This trek can take anywhere from 1 hour to 7 hours. The park's steep, densely forested landscape is rich with animal tracks, providing tourist access.

You will be just meters away from these magnificent apes during your trek, observing their daily lives and activities. Mountain gorillas are extremely rare, with only an estimated 880 remaining worldwide, making this an unforgettable experience!

Note: Mountain gorillas are wild animals, and sightings cannot be guaranteed; however, viewing success rates exceed 90%.

You could explore Kampala, visit the Ngamba Island Chimpanzee Sanctuary or the Uganda Wildlife Education Center, take a luxury boat cruise on Lake Victoria, or embark on a short trip to Jinja—the adventure capital of East Africa—where you can experience Grade 5 white-water rafting, quad biking, horse riding and bungee jumping.
