• Accommodation before the tour starts can be arranged for an extra cost.

Pick up from Entebbe and Drive to Bwindi Impenetrable Forest

After your breakfast, our driver guide will pick you up from your hotel and drive you to Bwindi Impenetrable Forest National Park. Along the way, you can have a stop over at the Equator for photography and proceed to the South-Western Part of Uganda where the forest is located.

The fact that it is located at the edge of the Great Rift Valley, it receives rainfall all year and the weather is quite unpredictable, we therefore advise our guests to come along with warm clothes as the forest and the surrounding areas give off cold currents.

Lunch will be on the way and dinner and overnight will be at your place of accommodation.

Gorilla Trekking

The long awaited day has come for you to face the gentle giants. The day begins with an early morning breakfast before you set off to UWA headquarters which is the starting and briefing point for the trek, don’t forget to carry your packed lunch as we are not sure of the time you will be coming out of the forest.

After your registration and briefing by the ranger guides, you will be assigned a family to trek and a guide to accompany you to the dense forest. Following the different trails, search for the gorillas and them being wild animals, they keep moving from one place to another in the forest to look for food and construct nests therefore it is hard to predict their exact location in the greenery which makes the trekked distance a little longer and a bit of straining with the hikes up and down lasting for about 9 hours.

After your one hour of enjoyment with the gorillas, return to the park headquarters for your certificate, return to the lodge for an overnight and dinner.
