Itinerary

Kigali – Transfer to Bwindi

Your professional driver-guide will pick you up from your hotel or Kigali International Airport in the morning. Depending on time availability, you may enjoy a short Kigali city tour (optional), including local markets or cultural sites. Afterward, drive north toward the Cyanika or Katuna border and complete immigration formalities before proceeding to Bwindi Impenetrable National Park in Uganda. Arrive at your lodge in the afternoon or early evening.

Gorilla Trekking return Kigali

After an early breakfast, transfer to the park headquarters for a pre-trek briefing by Uganda Wildlife Authority rangers. You will be assigned a gorilla family and guided into the forest to begin your trek. The trekking experience can take between 2–6 hours depending on the gorillas’ location. Once found, you will spend one unforgettable hour observing the gorillas in their natural habitat. After the trek, return to the lodge for lunch before driving back to Kigali,
