Pick Up and Transfer to Bwindi Impenetrable National Park

After your early morning breakfast, you will be picked by an Otter African Safaris guide and start your journey to Bwindi Impenetrable National Park in Kisoro in South Western Uganda. First stop will be at the Equator in Kayabwe for memorable photos and the famous water experiment that shows that earth is separated into the Northern and Southern Hemisphere
and you will have a chance to enjoy both the hemispheres.

A lunch break will be in Mbarara at Igongo Cultural Center and after you will continue your
journey to Bwindi Impenetrable National Park. The journey will not be a short one as it might last up to 9 Hours but it is a journey worth it as there is a wide range of beautiful scenery from Kampala to Kisoro.

First Gorilla Trekking Experience and Transfer to the Rushaga Sector

You will wake up early in the morning for breakfast and then report at the park headquarters at 7:30am for a briefing about the dos and don’ts while with the gorillas. Remember to carry your packed lunch and enough drinking water since you may stay in the forest up to afternoon in search of these gentle giants in their natural environment. Gorilla trekking exercise is physically demanding but an exciting activity! You may need to hire a porter to assist you during tracking and these are readily available at the park headquarters. Time allowed to spend with gorillas is 1 hour when you have found them and this is enough to ask all the questions about their behaviour as you will take as many pictures as you want. After the gorilla tracking you will be awarded a Gorilla Trekking certificate to show that you successfully tracked gorillas in Bwindi Impenetrable National Park.

Later in the afternoon you will transfer to the Rushaga sector for your second Gorilla Trekking Experience.
