It is approximately 540 km (around nine hours of driving) to the southern sector. Although the journey is long, it is rewarding, with much to see along the way.

Bwindi Impenetrable National Park

This morning marks the highlight of your Uganda safari. After an early breakfast at your accommodations, you will be transferred to the briefing point in Bwindi Impenetrable National Park. After the briefing, you will head to the starting point for your trek through the dense, steep jungle forest.

A good level of physical fitness is required for this experience, as the trek may take anywhere from three to eight hours—or even a full day, depending on the location of your assigned gorilla family. You may either start the trek from the park headquarters or be driven to another starting point within the forest.

After locating the gorillas, you can take photos and videos of this unforgettable encounter. Please note that feeding mountain gorillas is strictly prohibited, as is the use of flash photography.

After the experience, you will trek back through the forest. In the evening, enjoy a leisurely time at your lodge followed by your overnight stay.
