Detailed Itinerary: 3 Days Bwindi Uganda Gorilla Trekking safari

Day 1: Transfer from Entebbe International Airport / Kampala to Bwindi Impenetrable National Park.

3 Days Bwindi Uganda Gorilla Trekking Safari – Wild Jungle Trails Safaris Uganda

Early morning, after breakfast on the first day of your 3 days Uganda gorilla safari to Bwindi Impenetrable National Park, a professional Uganda tour guide from Wild Jungle Trails will meet you for a transfer to the park. For the almost 550km drive to Bwindi National Park, you are driven on a 4×4 wheel safari vehicle on a fairly tarmacked road along Kampala- Masaka –Mbarara route.

About 80km from Kampala, there will be a stop at the Equator line in Kayabwe for photography and geographical experiments. The equator is the world’s zero latitude line that divides the world into two halves, the northern and southern hemispheres. Being positioned here, this has made Uganda tours ideal especially because of the favorable tropical climate. At the equator line, you experiment on the forces within the zero latitude line and how they affect the movement to water at this point. One amazing fact here is that while at the equator line a person loses three kilograms and regains them in the northern or southern hemisphere.

Continuing to the southern hemisphere for your Uganda gorilla tour, you have lunch en route at Mbarara town. Driving further to western Uganda, the rolling terraced hills of kigezi highlands and the long horned Ankole cattle are part of what will constitute your scenic drive. On arrival at your preferred accommodation facility, your driver guide ensures check in for dinner and a nights rest at the hotel or lodge. 

Drive Time: 8-10 hours
Meal Plan: Lunch and Dinner
Accommodation Options: Luxury: Buhoma Lodge/chameleon Hill Lodge, Midrange: Silverback Lodge/Nkuringo Gorilla Camp, Budget: Buhoma Community camp/Gorilla Valley Lodge

Day 2: Mountain Gorilla trekking in Bwindi Impenetrable National Park

This is your long awaited Uganda Mountain Gorilla tracking safari in Bwindi forest. After an early morning breakfast, your Uganda safari driver guide will pick you up from the accommodation facility for a drive to the gorilla trekking sector headquarters. At the headquarters, briefing on the tracking etiquette starts before 8:00am local time. During briefing, a total of 8 tourists are allocated a single gorilla family to trek according to fitness levels. Each gorilla safari Uganda trekker then receives a trekking stick and heads to the jungle in company of the park rangers and guides, Mountain Gorilla trekking in Bwindi is unpredictable because of the movement behaviors of the gorillas and therefore the activity lasts about 6-8 hours. These hours are spent in search of the gorillas however only 1 hour is spent the presence of these gentle giants. At the end of this memory filled 1 hour, you return to the park headquarters where you receive a Uganda gorilla trekking tour certificate. Later after that, you meet with your safari driver guide for a drive to your lodging facility.
