You will be picked up from Entebbe Airport or Kampala, the capital city of Uganda. After breakfast, we will depart to Bwindi Impenetrable Forest. We will stop at the Uganda Equator for an experiment on the Coriolis effect, a force caused by the earth's rotation. You can take photos and videos, and buy locally crafted souvenirs and mementoes for your loved ones. We will then proceed with the journey and stop in Mbarara town for a hot lunch.

After lunch, you will proceed through beautiful areas of the southwestern part of Uganda, which many tourists describe as the "Switzerland of Uganda", until you reach Bwindi Impenetrable National Park.

Day 2

Early morning gorilla tracking and transfer to Entebbe

Early morning gorilla tracking and transfer to Entebbe

Have breakfast at 7:00 am and drive to the park headquarters, where you will be warmly welcomed and entertained by the local people. The park rangers will brief you on the dos and don’ts of visiting the park, and you will be divided into groups of 8.

You will then continue tracking as directed by the rangers. This is a memorable and amazing experience watching the mountain gorillas feed, play around and do their daily activities. This activity can take 2 hours or even up to 8 hours since it's dependent on the location and movement of the gorillas. You can also expect to walk long distances in muddy and steep conditions, which will require you to have a walking stick.

Later, return to the lodge for a hot lunch. You will then start your journey back to Entebbe International Airport, Kampala's capital, or Rwanda, Kigali.

This is the end of your gorilla trip in Uganda.
