Transfer to Bwindi Impenetrable National Park

Commencing your day with a satisfying breakfast at your Kigali hotel or following an early-morning pickup from the airport, our experienced tour guide will be there to greet you. A brief yet insightful city tour will set the stage for your remarkable journey to the renowned Bwindi Impenetrable Forest National Park.

As far as names go, there are few that evoke the essence of Africa as vividly as the Impenetrable Forest of Bwindi. Picture vast expanses of steep mountains enveloped in dense, humid jungle, and you're on the right track. Spanning an impressive 331 square kilometers, this World Heritage-listed sanctuary, Bwindi Impenetrable National Park, is one of the continent's oldest ecosystems. It has withstood the test of time, persevering through the last Ice Age when many other forests on the continent disappeared into history.

Upon your arrival, you will be warmly welcomed at the lodge, where you can unwind and savor the breathtaking vistas of the sprawling forest.
