Travel from Entebbe to Bwindi Impenetrable forest

After breakfast, the Simba African Expeditions driver/guide will pick you up from your place of residence or hotel at exactly 6:30 am so as to avoid the early morning traffic jam in the city. You will be traveling southwest of Uganda while seeing the local livelihoods of the communities in the central region of Uganda through Mbarara. You will have a stopover for lunch at the Igongo cultural center before proceeding with the journey to Bwindi through the district 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.
