Scenic Journey from Kigali to Bwindi's Misty Forests

The adventure begins with an early pickup from Kigali.

After a smooth border crossing into Uganda, the scenery transforms, becoming lusher and more mountainous as we ascend towards the highlands. The air grows cool and fresh, a preview of the ancient ecosystem we are about to enter. We arrive at your charming mid-range lodge, nestled on the very edge of the Bwindi Impenetrable National Park, a UNESCO World Heritage Site. After checking into your comfortable room, you can relax on your private balcony, listening to the distant calls of the forest. Enjoy a delicious dinner as the sun sets over the jungle canopy. Your guide will provide a comprehensive briefing, preparing you for the life-changing experience of tomorrow's gorilla trek, ensuring you know what to expect and how to prepare for this incredible encounter.
