After a hearty breakfast at your hotel in Kampala, you will meet your driver-guide and set off for Bwindi Impenetrable National Park in southwestern Uganda. En route, you will stop at Mpambire Drum Village, famous for its drum-making. Then, proceed to the Equator for a brief stop to do water experiments and the opportunity to stand at the point where the two hemispheres meet. You will enjoy lunch in Mbarara before heading to  Buhoma.

After breakfast at the lodge, you will go to the park headquarters for a briefing by the Uganda Wildlife Authority ranger guides. Following the briefing, the ranger will lead you into the dense, impenetrable forest to begin your search for the endangered mountain gorillas. The search started at the last known location of the gorillas. Upon reaching the area where these remarkable creatures are found, you can interact with them for one hour.

It is essential to maintain silence during this time. Photographing the gorillas is allowed. Finding the gorillas can be physically demanding, often taking 3 to 8 hours. However, once you encounter them, the challenges you face in finding them will be forgotten, and you will cherish the wonderful memories of your experience. After the interaction, you will return to the lodge for relaxation as you prepare for a cultural encounter with the batwe in the evening.

After an early breakfast at the lodge on your last day of your 3-Day Gorilla Trekking Experience, you will drive back to Kampala, where lunch will be en route to Mbarara town. The return trip will pass through Kabale, known as the “Switzerland of Africa” due to its picturesque hills and scenery. You will arrive in Kampala by late evening and be dropped off at your hotel. This marks the end of your safari.
