Pickup from Kigali and Transfer to Bwindi Impenetrable National Park

Early in the morning, you will be picked up from the airport or the hotel where you spent the night. After breakfast, a representative from our company, who will be your driver, will pick you up and brief you about your trip. You will then board your safari vehicle and begin your transfer to Uganda, crossing the Rwanda-Uganda border at Katuna.

As you travel, you will pass through the lush countryside adorned with hills, which earns Rwanda the title 'land of a thousand hills.' In the afternoon, you will arrive at your lodge in Bwindi, where you can check in, relax and freshen up.

Later in the evening, you will embark on the Batwa cultural trail, visiting villages to experience the daily routines and activities of the Batwa people. You will be amazed by their skillful hillside cultivation and animal care. After this immersive experience, you will return to your lodge for dinner and an overnight stay.
