Tour Highlights

Itinerary

Your guide will take you up from your hotel in Entebbe/Kampala and drive you to Bwindi Impenetrable National Park. The travel from Kampala to Bwindi Impenetrable National Park takes between 8-9 hours. You will make a halt in Kayabwe to see the equator monuments. These two equator monuments trace the equator’s path across Uganda.

You’ll then proceed to the Igongo Cultural Centre for lunch and Proceed to Bwindi

Dinner and overnight at Gorilla Leisure / Buhoma Haven Lodge/ Silverback Lodge

This is the day you’ve been looking forward to. Have breakfast at your lodge as soon as possible since your guide will pick you up at 6 a.m. You’ll take a short drive to the Parks headquarters in Buhoma where you are expected to reach by 7 a.m. for a briefing by the park’s chief ranger, thereafter you will be divided into groups of 8 people based on the gorilla troop you will be tracking. Tracking begins at 8:30 a.m., so make every effort to stay on time.

Tracking can take anywhere from one to six hours, depending on how readily and quickly the gorillas are located. Once you’ve found a gorilla family, you’ll have exactly one hour with them; hence, make the most of your time and don’t forget to shoot lots of images without using your camera’s.

After your gorilla trekking experience, head back to base for your gorilla trekking certificate and then drive back to your lodge.
