Gorilla trek and transfer to Kigali

Rise early for a once-in-a-lifetime gorilla trekking experience in Bwindi Impenetrable Forest. After a briefing by park rangers, venture into the misty jungle, guided by expert trackers. The trek through the dense forest is an adventure in itself, filled with birdsong, fresh mountain air, and anticipation.

When you finally encounter a family of mountain gorillas in their natural habitat, the moment is both humbling and magical—watching them interact, play, and rest just meters away is an experience you’ll never forget.

After this unforgettable wildlife encounter, return to the lodge for a refreshing lunch and check-out. You’ll then begin your scenic transfer back to Kigali, winding through breathtaking highlands and across the Rwanda-Uganda border.

Arrive in Kigali in the evening, filled with lasting memories of an incredible journey that connected you with nature, conservation, and the soulful beauty of East Africa.
