- Day 1 - Drive to Bwindi Impenetrable National Park
After breakfast at your hotel in Entebbe or after a very early morning pickup from the airport, our tour guide will pick you up, embark on a brief city tour and embark on your journey to Bwindi impenetrable forest national park after. As names go, there's hardly a more evocative African destination than the Impenetrable Forest of Bwindi. This swath of steep mountains covered in thick, steamy jungle is just as magnificent as it sounds. The 331-sq-km World Heritage–listed Bwindi Impenetrable National Park is one of Africa’s most ancient habitats, even surviving the last Ice Age as most of the continent's other forests disappeared.
The combination of its broad altitude span (1160m to 2607m) and its antiquity has produced an incredible diversity of flora and fauna, resulting in some 120 mammal species and over 350 bird species calling Bwindi home. The stars of the show, however, are the approximately 400 mountain gorillas living here. This is one of the best places in the world to see mountain gorillas up close. Having a look at these critically endangered creatures up close is an unforgettable experience. Check in and relax at the lodge admiring the views of the huge forest. - Day 2 - Gorilla Trekking in Bwindi Impenetrable Forest
A tasty breakfast will be served, get your lunch pack and head over to the park headquarters - a stone-throw away for briefing, allocation of Gorilla groups and later head into the forest for Gorilla trekking. Trekking in Bwindi lasts between 2 to 8 hours depending on the movement of the Gorillas.
On finding them, you will be allowed up to 1 hour to watch them and take photos. After the trek, you will enjoy your lunch and receive your Gorilla trekking certificate. Meet your guide and return to the lodge. - Day 3 - Transfer to Entebbe & end of Trip
