Day 1: Arrival in Uganda and Optional Activities

Prepare for the adventure of a lifetime. Upon arrival at Entebbe International Airport, you will be transferred to a beautiful hotel in Kampala, located on the outskirts of the city to avoid noise. Check-in and enjoy the rest of your day at leisure.

Day 2: Drive to the Phenomenal Bwindi Impenetrable National Park in South-western Uganda

After a delicious breakfast at the hotel, check-out and transfer to Bwindi Impenetrable National Park in a private and comfortable vehicle. Located about 540 kilometers / 8-9 hours’ drive away, Bwindi Impenetrable is a stunning gorilla trekking destination in the southwest part of the country. Upon arrival, spend the evening at leisure, with lunch en-route.

Day 3: Trekking Mountain Gorillas and Batwa Cultural Experience

Today, venture into the impenetrable Bwindi Forest to search for mountain gorillas. Start with breakfast and gather at the Park Headquarters for a briefing on trekking mountain gorillas’ dos and don’ts.

You can hire a porter (at your own expense) and follow the guide who will provide insights into the park’s history, wildlife, and birds before finding the mountain gorillas.

After spending an hour with the gorillas, return to the lodge for relaxation and a late lunch. In the evening, take a leisurely walk through Batwa communities.

Watch them perform cultural dances, make bamboo cups, demonstrate hunting skills, and more.

Day 4: Road Transfer Back to Entebbe

Depart from Bwindi Impenetrable National Park and return to Entebbe Town. This 8-9 hour journey includes lunch en-route and several stops for stretching, photography, and buying souvenirs. Upon arrival, transfer to the hotel and check-in. Spend the remainder of the day at leisure.

Day 5: Flight from Entebbe International Airport to Nairobi City or Masai Mara National Reserve
