Upon arrival, you will be greeted by your Giant Holiday Safaris representative, who will be waiting to welcome you and assist you with your luggage.

After completing all the necessary formalities at the airport, you will be transferred to your hotel.

ViaVia Hotel Entebbe

Transfer to Bwindi

After a hearty breakfast at the hotel, you will begin your 4-Day Uganda and Rwanda Gorilla Trekking Tour journey towards the renowned Bwindi Impenetrable Forest. You will drive through major towns such as Masaka, Mbarara, and Kabale, witnessing the vibrant life of the local people and observing how agriculture thrives in this fertile region. You will also experience the changing landscapes as you approach the dense, misty forests of Bwindi, which create a mystical atmosphere.

Rushaga Gorilla Lodge

Gorilla Trekking in Bwindi

After an early breakfast, you will head to the park headquarters for a briefing on the gorilla trekking activity. During this briefing, park rangers will provide important safety instructions, such as how to behave around the gorillas and how to avoid disturbing their natural habitat. The rangers will also assign you to a group based on your fitness level and trekking experience. The trek can take anywhere from 1 to 6 hours, depending on where the gorillas are located that day.

Da Vinci Gorilla Lodge

Golden Monkey Tracking in Volcanoes

The morning starts with a briefing at the park headquarters before heading into the forest for the golden monkey trek. The trek is typically easier and shorter than gorilla trekking, as the golden monkeys are found at lower altitudes. Golden monkey tracking provides an opportunity to see these beautiful creatures up close and observe their social structure, behavior, and interactions. It’s an incredibly rewarding experience that complements the gorilla trekking adventure.
