You will have a stopover for lunch at Igongo cultural center before proceeding with the journey to Bwindi through the districts of Bushenyi, which is part of Kasese, through the southern section of Queen Elizabeth National Park. Here, if lucky, you could see the tree-climbing lions, and other big game such as elephants, topis, and buffaloes. Continue with views of the magnificent greenery and the rolling hills of Kigezi, and finally, Kanungu district, which connects to the Buhoma sector and is part of the Bwindi Forest. Arrive in Bwindi at around 5:30 pm for dinner and overnight.
