Guided by expert trackers, you’ll hike through the forest to locate a mountain gorilla family and spend one unforgettable hour observing them up close.
Day 1: Transfer from Kigali to Bwindi
You'll be picked up at Kigali Airport or downtown Kigali and driven to Bwindi National Park. The scenic drive to Uganda will go through Rwanda’s northwestern town of Ruhengeri, the gateway to Volcanoes National Park, another popular spot for mountain gorilla tracking. You will then circle the mountains to cross over into Uganda via the Cyanika border posts. You will wind through the mountain roads to our final destination —Bwindi, arriving early afternoon. You'll spend the afternoon as you wish and choose from our array of optional activities, such as hiking through the luscious hills, visiting the local Batwa community, learning about the area’s largest industry with a coffee-making tour, or paddling at sunset on a canoe trip on the idyllic Lake Mutanda, with the mountains as your backdrop.
Day 2: Gorilla Tracking
Today is the main event, our Uganda gorilla trek! You will embark on a full-day adventure to track the mountain gorillas in Bwindi Forest National Park. This national park is home to roughly half the world’s population of mountain gorillas, making it the destination for tracking. The trek will commence with a short briefing on gorilla trekking rules to ensure the safety of guests and the protection of these animals in their natural habitat. You will then start the trek into the impenetrable forest to encounter the gentle giants of Bwindi Impenetrable National Park. This is a true adventure, and part of the excitement is finding the gorillas. Follow the guides as they make paths through the thick vegetation until the special moment that you encounter these majestic creatures. It is a truly unique experience and will surely be one of the moments of your trip. After the gorilla trek, you'll head back downhill and return to the lodge to relax, eat dinner, and enjoy a night’s rest.
Day 3: Transfer to Kigali, Rwanda
On day three, you'll depart Bwindi Impenetrable National Park for Kigali, as we end the trip. But not so fast.
