Transfer from Kigalito Bwindi Impenetrable National Park

Your safari begins with an early morning pick-up from Kigali, followed by a scenic drive through Rwanda’s rolling hills—often referred to as the “Land of a Thousand Hills.” Along the way, enjoy views of terraced farmland, vibrant villages, and lush green landscapes.

You will then proceed to the Cyanika or Katuna border, where your guide will assist with immigration formalities before crossing into Uganda. After border clearance, continue your journey toward Bwindi Impenetrable National Park, a world-renowned habitat for endangered mountain gorillas.

Arrive in the afternoon or early evening, depending on your assigned sector (Rushaga, Nkuringo, Buhoma, or Ruhija). Check into your lodge, relax, and enjoy the peaceful forest atmosphere as you prepare for the next day’s unforgettable gorilla trekking experience.

Gorilla Trekking and Transfer back to Kigali

Wake up early for breakfast before heading to the briefing point in Bwindi Impenetrable National Park for an introduction to gorilla trekking guidelines by experienced park rangers. After the briefing, begin your adventure through the dense rainforest in search of a habituated mountain gorilla family. The trek may take a few hours depending on the gorillas’ location, but the experience is truly rewarding. Once the gorillas are found, you will spend one unforgettable hour observing them as they feed, play, and interact in their natural habitat while enjoying incredible photography opportunities.

After the trekking experience, return to the lodge for lunch and refreshments. Later, begin your scenic drive back to Kigali through the beautiful rolling hills of Uganda and Rwanda, arriving in the evening as the end of your memorable gorilla safari.
