Itinerary day by day

Day 1

Arriving in Entebbe

Upon arriving at Entebbe International Airport and completing the immigration process, our safari driver will meet you, give you a brief introduction, and transfer you to your accommodation for dinner and an overnight stay.

Day 2

Transfer to Bwindi Impenetrable Forest National Park

After an early breakfast at 6:30 am, you will meet your guide and begin the drive to Bwindi Impenetrable Forest National Park. The journey takes about 8 hours, depending on traffic, and passes through picturesque, lush green countryside. You will stop for lunch in Mbarara along the way. Upon reaching your accommodation, you’ll have a late lunch, then spend the rest of the afternoon relaxing and preparing for the next day’s gorilla habituation exercise.

Day 3

Gorilla Trekking in Bwindi Impenetrable Forest National Park

Start the day with a hearty breakfast in preparation for your long-anticipated gorilla trekking experience. At 8:00 am, you’ll receive a briefing from the UWA staff. Make sure to bring a rain jacket, drinking water, snacks, jungle boots, and a packed lunch.

You’ll be transferred to the park headquarters, where you’ll meet other trekkers. Groups will be assigned based on fitness levels and interests, followed by a briefing. Then, you’ll be driven to the designated starting point for the trek.

Ranger guides will lead you into the jungle to find the gorilla group you’ve been booked to see. The trek can take between 2 and 6 hours, but the experience is well worth it. Once you find the gorillas, you’ll have an hour to take photos and videos while observing their daily activities, including feeding and playing. You might even spot the silverback, who typically sits calmly overseeing his family.

When your time with the gorillas ends, you’ll return to your guide, thank the ranger guides for their excellent work, and then head back to your lodge for dinner and an overnight stay.
