Your adventure begins with an early morning pickup from your hotel or the airport in Kigali. After a short briefing, you’ll embark on a scenic 4-5 hour drive to Bwindi, crossing the Uganda-Rwanda border at Katuna/Gatuna.

After border formalities, continue through the stunning Kigezi highlands, known for its terraced hills, lush valleys, and cool climate. Enjoy breathtaking views as you approach Bwindi Impenetrable Forest.

Check into your comfortable lodge near Bwindi’s Ruhija sector. Enjoy a delicious lunch while soaking in the forest’s serene atmosphere.

• Option 1: Take a guided community walk to visit a local Batwa village and learn about their indigenous culture.
• Option 2: Relax at the lodge, enjoying the lush surroundings and preparing for the next day’s trek.

Enjoy a hearty dinner at the lodge, followed by a briefing from your guide on what to expect during the gorilla trek.

After an early breakfast, drive to the park headquarters for registration and a pre-trek briefing by Uganda Wildlife Authority (UWA) rangers.

Led by expert trackers, your trek into the dense forest begins. The duration varies (1-5 hours) depending on the gorilla family’s location. As you hike through misty trails, the excitement builds—until you finally encounter a mountain gorilla family.

Spend one unforgettable hour observing these gentle giants—watch them feed, play, and interact. The dominant silverback keeps watch while juveniles swing from branches. Capture photos (no flash) and cherish this once-in-a-lifetime moment.

After the trek, receive your gorilla trekking certificate and enjoy a packed lunch before beginning your journey back to Kigali.

Drive back through the Kigezi highlands, crossing into Rwanda. Arrive in Kigali by evening (around 6:00 PM), where you can catch a flight or continue your travels.
