Programme for the 3 Days gorilla trekking safari to Bwindi Forest from Kigali

Day 1 - Travel from Kigali to Bwindi Impenetrable forest National Park.

Your gorilla safari driver will meet up with you upon arrival at the Kigali International Airport and head to the Republic of Uganda through the rolling hills of Rwanda, driving through Ruhengeri in the Musanze province and head to the cyanika border post having great views of the volcanoes and Lake Mutanda. Your driver shall have stop overs for you to have great picture moments.

Dinner and Overnight at your preffered lodge.

Day 2 - The Great Gorilla tracking day.

Depending on which lodge you slept at, we usually recommend waking up at 6:30 am, shower, have your breakfast and walk or drive to the briefing area for your gorilla tracking in Uganda.

Bwindi Forest National Park is home to about 340 Mountain Gorillas which is estimated to be half of the world's gorilla population. Your park warden and ranger guide will point out more facts and history about the great gorilla tracking in Uganda. You will be assigned a group and join other trekkers to make at least 8 members and set off for the gorilla trek.

Porters to carry your extra bag, sedan chairs for the disabled, and walking sticks will all be on standby for those who might need them. However, a prior communication will be needed to enbale us prepare well.

We can not predict the time you will take to see the gentle giants of Bwindi forest as this all depends on where they last fed the previous evening. But this all ranges from 1 hour to a full day which ends at 7:00 pm. However, with our past records and experience, you will find the gorillas at least 2 hours from the time you start tracking and spend 1 hour with them while watching, taking pictures and videos. You are likely to be back by at least 1:00 pm or 2:00 pm. Go for a gorilla graduation ceremony, receive your certificate and head back to your car driving back to your lodge.

• Relax by your lodge.
• Drive to Lake Mutanda for an evening canoe ride and have that amazing view of all the volcanoes.
• Drive to Lake Bunyonyi which is also called the switzerland of Uganda with a canoe ride and see more of the Pearl of Africa.

Dinner and Overnight at your preffered lodge.

Day 3 - Travel back to Kigali.

After our early morning breakfast, we shall head back to Kigali for a city tour and our onward flight.
