Day by Day Overview
Your tour guide will pick you from your hotel in Kampala very early in the morning to begin your trip to the Bwindi impenetrable Forest National Park, home to half of the world’s endangered mountain gorillas. The drive from Kampala to Bwindi lasts for 8 hours, and you will therefore have several stopovers during the journey including one at the equator where you will have an opportunity to take pictures and grab a few refreshments as well as African crafts which you can obtain from the local craft shops before hitting the road again.
The next stop will be in Mbarara town where you will have a lunch break. The guide will take you to one of the tourist restaurants in the town, with options of you trying local or continental dishes for lunch. After lunch, embark on your journey once more, proceeding to Bwindi Impenetrable Forest National Park and direct to your lodge where you will check in for dinner and overnight stay.

After the briefing you will be divided in groups of 8 and then head into the Bwindi forest to search for the mountain gorillas. It usually takes between 1-8 hours of trekking to find the mountain gorillas. The activity is surely strenuous but then again fully rewarding on sight of the huge gorillas. You will be able to take pictures and observe their various characters as they feed play and relate. You’re allowed a full hour with these creatures and thereafter head back to the park headquarters. In the afternoon your will transfer to lake Bunyonyi, a beautiful lake dotted with several islands.
