Detailed Itinerary
Transfer by road to Bwindi Impenetrable National Park
Upon arrival at Entebbe International Airport, you will be briefed about the trip and transferred to Bwindi Impenetrable National Park. This is a UNESCO World Heritage Site and is one of the most biologically diverse areas in the world. Our guide will welcome you 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.
Gorilla Habituation in Bwindi Forest
After breakfast, you will participate in the Gorilla Habituation Experience, and then report to the park headquarters for a briefing on gorilla habituation in Bwindi Impenetrable Forest. The mountain gorillas in this area are part of a population of approximately 1,000 individuals, found in Uganda, Rwanda, and the Democratic Republic of the Congo. We will be tracking gorillas from one of eleven habituated family groups.
It’s important to note that the gorillas are not tame; they are completely wild animals. However, experienced guides will accompany us during the tracking process. These guides will rely on their knowledge of the gorillas’ habits and information gathered from the previous day to locate the group.
Road transfer back to Entebbe Airport
After breakfast, you will check out of your room and then embark on a scenic drive back to Entebbe. You will have a stopover at the Equator to take some photos and other stopovers, including lunch. Depending on your flight timing, you will proceed to the airport for departure as you complete your Gorilla Habituation Experience
