3 Day Uganda Gorilla Trekking Tour

Day 1: Pick up from Kampala/Entebbe and Transfer to Bwindi Impenetrable Forest National Park.

On this day your driver-guide for your trip will pick you from your hotel in Kampala/Entebbe or from Entebbe Airport and start your Uganda Gorilla Trekking Tour with a drive to Bwindi Impenetrable Forest National Park, this drive is long but worth it you will enjoy amazing sceneries and meet up with the local communities along the way. You will have a stop at the Equator for photographs, lunch en-route, and other optional multiple stops depending on your request and time.

Drive time: 8-9 hours drive

Lodging: Rushaga Gorilla Havens Lodge/Buhoma Community Rest Camp

Day 2: Gorilla tracking Experience and Optional Community visit.

After breakfast at the lodge, you will drive to the park headquarters for a briefing from the Uganda Wildlife Authority ranger guides who will allocate you a gorilla family group you will trek that day. Once you have your group confirmed 8 people, the 2 ranger guides will lead you into the thick impenetrable forest to start your search for the endangered rare species of Mountain Gorillas. The gorilla search always continues from the place where they were last seen the previous day. Upon reaching the area where these famous species are, you will only be allowed to interact with them for only one hour and you should always keep maximum silence while with these Gorillas. You are allowed to take photographs and so on. In the evening, you may go for community walks in the nearby Batwa community, where you will be entertained and given tales of their unique culture.

Gorilla tracking can sometimes be strenuous depending on the trek that day which is normally determined by weather and the movement of the gorillas in the forest but given the fact it is a very well-organized activity you have a 99% chance of seeing the gorillas on your trek. The trek is guided by advanced trackers who monitor the gorilla movements all day in the forest with this they will know where they nested for the last night and that’s where you start from looking for them. The 2 ranger guides will lead you all through the trek clearing trails, creating new trails and sharing with you information about the mountain gorillas and Bwindi forest. After the trek, you will retrieve back to the starting point to pick your certificates as a sign of successful tracking of mountain gorillas in Bwindi Impenetrable Forest National Park.
