Transfer to Bwindi Impenetrable National Park

Our tour guide/driver will pick you up from the airport and bring you to Bwindi Impenetrable National Park. If you arrive late, you can choose to stay overnight in Kampala/Entebbe for less than $100 or go straight to the mountain gorillas' home.

The long 9 to 10-hour drive is worth it because you get to see beautiful views of the western countryside, the terraced Kabale Hills, and fruit shops. The best part is when you cross the equator line and stop for lunch in Mbarara, which is like a perfect picture.

For thousands of years, the Batwa people lived peacefully in the forest along with mountain gorillas. Some people who study ancient societies think that small communities like the Batwa have been living in the rainforests of Africa for a very long time, maybe even 60,000 years. Our tour guide will bring you to their community. You will be invited into their home, where they will show you amazing skills that have been passed down for many years, such as making fire and cloth.

Gorilla Trekking in Bwindi and Boat Cruise at Lake Bunyonyi

After eating breakfast in the morning, bring a lunch with you and go to the place where the gorilla trekking begins. When you get to the place where they give information about UWA, some people who live there will make you happy. Then, each group will be given a gorilla family to look for during the day. You will have a ranger with a weapon to go with you. Because humans and mountain gorillas have a strong bond, it has been discovered that many human diseases can easily be passed to these amazing creatures. As a result, people who show signs of diseases that can spread through the air are advised to stay away from mountain gorillas. Sometimes, people may be completely forbidden from trekking if rangers find the situation more serious.

The hiking adventure lasts for 1-3 hours and includes walking on slippery trails. Once you finish the trek, you will receive a certificate and then be taken to Lake Bunyonyi to relax.
