Transfer from Entebbe & Afternoon Game Drive

Your gorilla trekking adventure begins with a morning pick-up from your hotel or guesthouse in Entebbe. To make the most of your day and avoid city traffic, we recommend an early departure around 7:00 AM.

Enjoy a scenic drive through the Ugandan countryside, arriving at your lodge in time for a hot lunch. After settling in, we head out for an afternoon game drive, exploring the park in search of its diverse wildlife—including antelope, buffalo, elephants, and a variety of bird species—all set against the backdrop of stunning savannah landscapes.

Later, return to the lodge for dinner and an overnight stay. For those eager to extend the adventure, an optional night game drive is available (at an additional cost), offering a chance to spot nocturnal animals such as leopards, hyenas, and other elusive predators.

Walking Safari & Transfer to Bwindi (Rushaga Sector)

Begin your day with a guided walking safari—an intimate and immersive experience that brings you closer to nature. This is a unique opportunity to slow down, tune in to the sights and sounds of the wild, and truly appreciate the natural beauty and biodiversity of the park on foot.

After the walk, you’ll enjoy lunch en route as you continue your journey south through the scenic Ankole farmlands. Keep an eye out for the striking long-horned Ankole cattle and local farmers transporting bananas (matoke)—often balancing them skillfully on bicycles or carrying them to nearby markets.

As you approach Bwindi Impenetrable Forest (Rushaga sector), and if the weather is clear, you’ll be treated to breathtaking views of three or even four of the majestic Virunga volcanoes—a perfect photo opportunity.

Arrive in Rushaga in the evening, check in to your lodge, and settle in for a relaxing overnight stay surrounded by the lush rainforest.

Gorilla Trekking Experience & Transfer to Lake Bunyonyi

After an early breakfast at 7:00 AM, you’ll head to the Uganda Wildlife Authority (UWA) briefing center for a short orientation. Here, you'll be guided through the dos and don’ts of gorilla trekking and assigned to a gorilla family group—each group limited to a maximum of 8 participants.

Led by experienced, armed UWA ranger guides, you’ll venture into the heart of the forest in search of these incredible primates. Once located, you’ll spend a magical hour observing the gorillas in their natural habitat from a respectful distance of 7 to 10 meters. It’s a truly unforgettable wildlife encounter as you witness them go about their daily lives—feeding, playing, grooming, and resting.

After your trek, you'll drive to the serene shores of Lake Bunyonyi, often called the "Switzerland of Africa" for its stunning terraced hillsides and calm waters. Here, you’ll enjoy a peaceful evening with dinner and an overnight stay overlooking the lake.
