1-Day Gorilla Encounter in Bwindi Forest

• A transfer from the airport can be arranged for an extra cost.

This one-day tour starts from your lodge or any other preferred pickup point in Kisoro Town, hence you will have to make your way there. Our driver-guide will transfer you to Bwindi Impenetrable National Park for registration and briefing at the Rushaga sector. After meeting your ranger guides, begin your trek through the dense forest in search of a gorilla family. The trek can last two to six hours, depending on their location. Along the way, enjoy the breathtaking forest scenery with birds, butterflies, and other primates.

Once you find the gorillas, spend a memorable hour observing them feed, play, and interact in their natural habitat. Take photos (without flash) and listen as your guide shares fascinating insights about gorilla behavior and conservation. After this once-in-a-lifetime experience, trek back to the starting point, receive your trekking certificate, and transfer back to your lodge or your preferred drop off point in Kisoro Town, ending an unforgettable adventure.
