Detailed Itinerary                                                                                

Day1. Kampala to Bwindi Impenetrable National Park

The driver guide will be happy to meet you from any agreed point in either Kampala or Entebbe and you will go through a briefing about how the tour will be conducted. Then immediately, take a drive to the far southwestern Uganda in Bwindi National Park. This is known to be home to almost half of the remaining endangered mountain gorillas in the wild. The journey will be through the amazing scenery of the countryside covered with plantations of coffee, bananas, tea and more. Arrive and check in the booked lodge.

Day2. Gorilla habituation Experience

Be served with a buffet breakfast, and have your packed lunch with an energy-giving snack and water. Head to the offices of the park where you get to know about the rules and regulations, materials needed while in the forest, cross-checking of gorilla trekking permits and more during briefing time. The experience will begin with the guidance of the ranger park guide, escorts and Porters.

Meet a group or family of gorillas and spend 4 hours in their presence learning about their behaviours. This means that the overall experience can last for 8 to 9 hours while in the forest. Other primates that will be spotted are colobus monkeys, red-tailed monkeys, vervet monkeys, olive baboons and many more others. Return to the lodge in the evening for your dinner and night’s stay.

Day3. Head back to Kampala, stopover at the equator

Leave the lodge in the morning with your luggage and head back to Kampala with a stopover at the Uganda equator. This is a point where the equator crosses Uganda. At this point, enjoy beautiful scenery, take photos, buy some crafts, have lunch and more. Proceed to Kampala and be dropped at any agreed point either in Entebbe or Kampala.
