Pickup and Transfer to Bwindi Impenetrable National Park

The 3-day Bwindi Gorilla Trekking Tour and Lake Bunyonyi tour starts by picking you up from Entebbe International Airport or from your hotel. A staff member from Giant Holiday Safaris will meet and brief you about the tour. You’ll then take a long drive of about 7 hours, with a stop for lunch in Mbarara at Igongo cultural center. Even though the drive is long, you’ll see beautiful views like tropical rainforests, open savannah, and the terraced hills of Kigezi, also called the "Switzerland of East Africa." When you reach Bwindi, you’ll check into your lodge and visit the Batwa community to learn about their culture. After that, you’ll relax and enjoy some free time before the next day’s adventure.

Once you encounter these majestic creatures, you'll have up to one hour to observe and photograph them, creating unforgettable memories.
