Gorilla Trekking Experience and transfer to Lake Bunyonyi

The main attraction of your three-day safari from Kigali, Rwanda, to Uganda is today! You will be assigned to a specific gorilla family and later set out with your head guide to the forest in search of mountain gorillas after waking up and enjoying a hot cup of tea or coffee, grabbing your packed lunch, and traveling to the pack headquarters for a briefing about the dos and don’ts of gorilla trekking in Uganda.
When you locate them, you will be given an hour to sit with them, watch them play, and feed their babies. Before going to Lake Bunyonyi for the canoeing excursions, descend to the starting point to pick up your certificates, then drive back to your resort for lunch and check-out. With the assistance of an indigenous guide, you will visit and discover various islands. After the trip, you will meet your driver and guide and be transferred back to the resort, where you can unwind.
