Gorilla Trekking in Bwindi Impenetrable National Park and Transfer to Lake Bunyonyi

After an early morning feast and packing your lunch, you will transfer to the Bwindi Impenetrable National Park headquarters in the Rushaga sector for a briefing. Following this, you will search the forest for the mountain gorillas. Depending on their location, this adventure may take a few hours or even an entire day.

Once you find the gorillas, you can spend one hour with them while capturing photographs to remember the experience. It is a truly rewarding experience as you stand just a few meters away and observe these remarkable primates as they eat and care for their young.

After this activity, you will leave for Lake Bunyonyi in the Kabale district. You will arrive in the evening and have the opportunity to relax at a resort overlooking the lake. Alternatively, you may take a boat cruise on the deepest lake in Uganda and the second deepest in Africa.
