  • Detailed Itinerary

    Day 1: TO BWINDI IMPENETRABLE N PChimpanzee

    Early breakfast and we will take a long drive {10 hrs. drive}  in direction basing on availability of permits, as you enjoy the beauty of an African country side over hills, down valleys, through villages and trading centers with lunch en-route to Bwindi.

    Day 2: GORILLA TREKKING (BWINDI IMPENETRABLE NP)Gorila in Bwindi

    Today enjoy surely. After breakfast, proceed for the morning briefing before enjoying the highlight of the trip- Gorilla trekking, which may last the entire day. We trek through the rain forest and bamboo covered slopes, accompanied by a guide and trackers, in search of a mountain gorilla family. The walking can sometimes be tough and long, but when you catch a glimpse of the magnificent silver back, any discomforts will be quickly forgotten. When sighted, visitors will be guided to within 6 meters from the gorillas, sit around them for a whole hour while gazing into their big round eyes. Gorilla trekking is unpredictable. It’s difficult to foresee how many hours you will hike. The gorilla excursion can take from 2 up to 8 hours. Expect to walk along distance in steep and muddy conditions, sometimes with rain overhead, before you encounter any gorillas. A good physical condition is recommended. For conservation purposes, time spent with the gorillas is limited to one hour. A ranger will brief you on how to behave with the gorillas. Dinner and overnight in Kitandara Luxury Tented Camp (Buhoma) or Gorila Safari Lodge (standard)

    Day 3: RETURN TO KAMPALABuhoma-Lodge

    Have an early breakfast before embarking on your return to Kampala, driving down the grassed and terraced escarpments of southwestern Uganda while taking in the breathtaking sights of the hills of the region dubbed ‘the little Switzerland of Africa’. This area is a highly fertile, mountainous region with steep sided hills covered from top to bottom in neatly terraced cultivated rows. Not to miss as we traverse Mbarara are the imposing long horn Ankole cattle. A remarkable highlight of this journey is the Equator line and surely you will cross it as we have a brief stop here for you to take photographs. We will be in Kampala in the evening in time for your night flight back home
