Start your day with a good breakfast at your hotel in Kigali, or after an early morning pickup from the airport. Our experienced tour guide will be there to welcome you. A short but interesting city tour will give you a nice introduction before you begin your journey to Bwindi Impenetrable Forest National Park.

Few names bring Africa to mind as clearly as the Impenetrable Forest of Bwindi. Imagine steep mountains covered in thick, warm jungle, and you’ll have the right picture. This forest covers 331 square kilometers and is one of the oldest in Africa. It has survived through time, even during the Ice Age, when many other forests disappeared.

When you arrive, you’ll be warmly welcomed at the lodge. You can relax and enjoy the wide view of the forest around you.
