The journey to Bwindi begins early in the morning from Kampala, setting out on a long but rewarding drive toward southwestern Uganda. The road leads through bustling towns, rolling hills, and fertile countryside dotted with plantations of tea and bananas. Travelers experience the gradual shift from urban energy to rural tranquility, with occasional stops for refreshments and to admire scenic viewpoints along the way. Crossing the equator line offers a memorable pause and photo opportunity before continuing deeper into the lush landscapes. The drive, though lengthy, is filled with glimpses of everyday Ugandan life, from roadside markets to children waving as vehicles pass. By late afternoon or evening, arrival at the lodge near Bwindi brings a sense of anticipation, as the dense forest looms ahead, promising encounters with its famed mountain gorillas. The day closes with dinner and rest, preparing for the adventures that await in the heart of the impenetrable forest.
