Picking up from kigali with the city tour

Your journey begins with an early morning pick-up from your hotel or airport in Kigali, where you meet your professional driver-guide for a short briefing. You then set off on a scenic drive through Rwanda’s rolling hills, often referred to as the “land of a thousand hills,” with opportunities to enjoy beautiful landscapes along the way. The journey continues toward the Katuna Border for immigration clearance before entering Uganda. After crossing, you proceed to Bwindi Impenetrable National Park, passing through local communities and lush countryside. You will arrive at your lodge in the afternoon, check in, and relax while enjoying views of the surrounding forest. Dinner and overnight stay at the lodge as you prepare for the next day’s gorilla trekking experience.

Gorilla Trekking experience and transfer to Lake Bunyonyi

After an early breakfast, you head to the headquarters of Bwindi Impenetrable National Park for a briefing by experienced rangers on gorilla trekking rules and expectations. You are then assigned a gorilla family and begin your trek through the dense rainforest, guided by trackers. The trek can take a few hours depending on the location of the gorillas, but along the way you may spot birds, monkeys, and unique plant life. Once the gorillas are found, you spend a magical one hour observing them in their natural habitat—watching their interactions, feeding, and playful behavior. After the trek, you return to the starting point, receive your certificate, and have lunch. Later, transfer to Lake Bunyonyi, arriving in the evening to relax by the serene waters surrounded by beautiful hills and islands.
