3 Days Unforgettable Gorilla Trekking Experience in Uganda

Upon arrival, you will be warmly welcomed by our driver-guide and begin your journey to western Uganda, passing through several districts en route to Bwindi Impenetrable National Park. Along the way, you will make stopovers for refreshments, breaks, and lunch, with opportunities to visit notable landmarks such as the Kayabwe Equator and River Katonga. Upon arrival, you will check in at Rushaga Gorilla Lodge for dinner and an overnight stay.

After breakfast, you will head to the briefing center with your packed lunch for a pre-trek orientation. Accompanied by a ranger guide, you will then begin your gorilla trekking experience, entering the forest equipped with a walking stick and water. As you hike through the dense vegetation, you will eventually encounter a gorilla family, offering a rare opportunity to observe them up close, including the playful young ones. You will spend up to one hour in their presence, taking photos and enjoying this unforgettable wildlife experience, along with the sounds of various bird species in the forest. After the trek, you will return to the headquarters to meet your driver-guide and proceed for the Batwa cultural experience. Here, you will interact with the Batwa (pygmies), learning about their traditional way of life through storytelling, music, and dance performances. Later, return to Rushaga Gorilla Lodge for dinner and an overnight stay.

After breakfast, we begin our return journey to Kampala, enjoying the breathtaking scenery of Uganda’s countryside along the way. Take in the rolling Kigezi hills, expansive cattle farms, and lush Ankole banana plantations, among other picturesque landscapes. We will have a lunch stop en route before continuing with the drive. Upon arrival in Kampala, you will be dropped off at your hotel or transferred to Entebbe International Airport for your scheduled flight.

End of the trip!
