The complete itinerary

4 days / 3 nights,
day by day.

A real day-by-day route, always ready to be tailored around your dates, pace and choice of camps.

Day 1

Entebbe

On your arrival at Entebbe International Airport in Uganda you will be welcomed by our representative and transferred for overnight.

Day 2

Entebbe - Bwindi Forest National Park

After breakfast early morning you will be driven back to the Airport for your flight to Kihihi at 7:45am. This is a 2 hours flight and once you get to Kihihi, you will be driven to Bwindi Impenetrable National Park, where you will arrive in time for lunch at the lodge. In the afternoon you could choose to relax or go for the Batwa Cultural experience (optional).

 

Day 3

Gorilla tracking in the Tropical rain forest

After an early breakfast and briefing from the guides of Uganda Wildlife Authority, set off for the gorilla tracking in the forest sanctuary. The activity starts at 8.00am and you join the other members according to the distribution of the gorilla families, only eight per family each day.

You need to carry with you the packed lunch, enough drinking water, rain jacket in case of rain and trekking boots while the rangers will provide you with a walking stick. If you are not sure of your fitness you might hire a porter and pay him a tip to help you carrying the bag. It is unpredictable how long will take to find the primates as they freely move into the forest.

However the encounter with the gorillas, lasting for about one hour, certainly is a rewarding experience and an unforgettable one. After the trekking you go back to the lodge at leisure.

Day 4

Bwindi Forest National Park - Entebbe

After breakfast, transfer to Kihihi where you will get on to your scheduled flight to Entebbe at 09.45am with arrival in Entebbe at 11.25am, connect to your international flight out of Uganda.
