Transfer to Bwindi Impenetrable National Park

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 informative city tour will give you a good introduction before your journey to Bwindi Impenetrable Forest National Park.

Few names bring Africa to mind as clearly as the Impenetrable Forest of Bwindi. Picture steep mountains covered in thick, warm jungle, and you’ll have the right idea. This forest covers 331 square kilometers and is one of the oldest ecosystems in Africa. It has survived for thousands of years, even through 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.

When you find them, you will spend up to one hour watching and taking photos of the gorillas. After the trek, enjoy your lunch and receive your official gorilla trekking certificate. Then, meet your guide and return to your lodge.
