Itinerary

Your adventure begins with an early morning pick-up from your hotel or Entebbe International Airport. Travel through Uganda's beautiful countryside with stops at the Uganda Equator for photographs and the Mpambire Drum Makers Centre, where you can learn about traditional drum making. After lunch in Mbarara, continue through the rolling hills of southwestern Uganda to Bwindi.

Arrive at your lodge in the evening, surrounded by the tranquil rainforest. Check in, enjoy dinner, and relax as you prepare for tomorrow's unforgettable gorilla trekking experience.

After an early breakfast, head to the Uganda Wildlife Authority headquarters for a briefing before entering Bwindi's ancient rainforest with experienced ranger guides. The trek may take between 3 to 8 hours, depending on the location of the gorilla family, making every experience unique and rewarding.

Once you find the gorillas, you'll spend one unforgettable hour observing them in their natural habitat as they feed, play, and interact. Return to the lodge in the afternoon to relax and reflect on one of Africa's most extraordinary wildlife encounters.

After breakfast, begin your journey back to Kampala or Entebbe, travelling through the picturesque hills of Kabale, often referred to as the "Switzerland of Africa." Stop in Mbarara for lunch before continuing your return journey.

Arrive in Kampala or Entebbe in the late afternoon, where your guide will drop you off at your hotel or the airport, marking the end of your unforgettable gorilla trekking safari.
