After touring the city, you will embark on a 4 hours drive to Bwindi through the Katuna (Uganda – Rwanda border). After Katuna, you will head to Buhoma in Bwindi.

This journey will allow you to see the beautiful countryside and landscapes in Rwanda and Uganda. Rwanda has eye-catching rolling hills and plantations while Uganda has dense green forests around the Bwindi area. Your dinner and overnight stay will be at the Buhoma Gorilla Camp.

Gorilla Trekking and Transfer back to Kigali

You will wake up very early to have breakfast. Our guide will pick you up and take you to the park offices where you will be briefed and given information regarding tracking gorillas in Bwindi. You will be assigned a gorilla group and allowed to hire a porter for 10 USD. Your lodge should arrange for you a packed lunch and drinking water. Gorilla trekking takes anywhere from 30 minutes to 6 hours depending on the location of your assigned gorilla family that particular day. Once you spot the gorillas, take as many photos as you can and try to follow instructions from the wardens/guides. After completing the trek, come back to your hotel, freshen up, eat/drink something, and check out. Thereafter, our guide will take you back to Kigali International Airport or your hotel.
