Day to Day
Fly from Entebbe International Airport to Bwindi Impenetrable National Park. This is a UNESCO World Heritage Site and is one of the most biologically diverse areas in the world. We welcome you to our guide upon arrival, who will drive you to the lodge. In the afternoon, take a nature walk and meet the local communities adjacent to the park. Have dinner and enjoy your night.
After breakfast, report to the park headquarters and get briefed about gorilla habituation in Bwindi’s Impenetrable Forest. The Mountain Gorillas in Bwindi Impenetrable Forest are part of just 1000 individuals thriving in Uganda, Rwanda, and the Democratic Republic of Congo. The gorillas we can track belong to one of eleven habituated family groups.
Bwindi Gorilla: The gorillas are not tame and are completely wild animals. However, experienced guides who have been involved in the habituation process will accompany us on our tracking. The guides will use their knowledge of the gorillas’ habits and information from the previous day to locate the group’s whereabouts.
After breakfast, you will check out of your room and then transfer to the airstrip in Kisoro for the return trip to Entebbe. Then, you will have a connecting flight back home, marking the end of your journey.
