Gorilla Trekking in Bwindi – Return to Kigali

After an early breakfast, transfer to the park headquarters for a briefing from Uganda Wildlife Authority rangers. You’ll then begin the thrilling trek into Bwindi’s ancient rainforest in search of a habituated mountain gorilla family. The trek can range from 2 to 6 hours depending on the gorillas’ movement, but the reward is an unforgettable hour spent in their presence—an emotional and awe-inspiring encounter.

After your trek, return to the starting point, receive your certificate, and begin the drive back to Kigali. Cross the Katuna border again and arrive in the evening for drop-off at your hotel or the airport, marking the end of your short but powerful safari.
