Itinerary

1. Day 1- Kampala/Entebbe - Bwindi National Park

   • You will be picked up by one of our drivers/guides and transferred to Bwindi Impenetrable National Park. The drive will take you southwest Uganda by road, cross the Equator then to Mbarara for Lunch and through Savannah grasslands to Bwindi Impenetrable National Park. The scenic drive through Kigezi Highlands (commonly referred to as “the Switzerland of Uganda”) and banana plantations take you to the Gorilla Sanctuary of Bwindi National Park. 
   • You will arrive in Bwindi Impenetrable National Park and will mainly do little but just check in your accommodation, relax as you prepare for the Bwindi Gorilla tracking experience the next day.

   Accommodation: Gorilla mist camp 

   meal plan: lunch, dinner and drinking water 

2. Day 2- Gorilla Tracking

   • After an early breakfast and a briefing by a ranger guide, you will enter the Gorilla Sanctuary for your adventure. The beauty of this rainforest is spectacular. The area offers a dramatic steeply forested landscape and is incredibly dense, but crisscrossed by numerous animal trails allowing access to tourists. The time is taken and the terrain varies with the movements of these great primates. 
   • Once you locate a gorilla group, you will be allowed an hour in their presence. The thrill of spending time observing these gentle and endangered giants is an awesome, exciting experience to be long savoured. 
   • Return to your lodge. Have your lunch and thereafter check out for a transfer to Lake Bunyonyi. Lake Bunyonyi is framed by lush, green-terraced hills that reach a height of (2,200 – 2,478m) but it’s the 29 islands of various shapes and sizes scattered across the water that make it most magical — you could admire them all day.

   Accommodation: Bunyonyi rock resort 

   meal plan: lunch, dinner and drinking water 

3. Day 3- Kampala/Entebbe Departure

   • You will have a relaxed breakfast then you may opt to enjoy a swim in the lake before you set off on the journey to Entebbe. Else, embark on your return journey to Entebbe Airport or accommodation of your booking. 
   • Expect en route stopovers in Mbarara town for lunch and the Uganda Equator line mark in Kayabwe for some memorable photos (if you didn’t stop on the first day) and maybe buy some art pieces of interest. 
   • Proceed with the journey arriving late afternoon/evening for drop off at the airport or accommodation of your booking. We do recommend a late afternoon/evening outbound flight schedule for this day (if flying out). We hope to see you (or any referral) on your next visit.
