Your 1 Day Gorilla Trek Uganda Tour will start very early, usually around 4:00 AM or even earlier, as Kigali is a considerable distance from Bwindi, and the trekking experience typically starts in the morning.
You'll need to travel from Kigali to the Uganda-Rwanda border. The nearest border crossing to Bwindi is usually Gatuna/Katuna.
You should arrive at the Bwindi Impenetrable National Park headquarters, where you'll complete necessary paperwork and attend a briefing about the gorilla trekking experience. You'll also be assigned a gorilla group to visit.
The actual 1 day gorilla trekking tour experience in Bwindi can be physically demanding, as you'll be hiking through dense forest, often on steep terrain. The duration of the trek can vary, and it may take several hours to locate the gorilla group you've been assigned to. Once you find them, you'll have a limited amount of time (usually around one hour) to observe and photograph the gorillas.
