Day 1: Entebbe - Bwindi Impenetrable National Park

Starting today, you will be picked up by our professional tour guide/driver from your accommodation in either Kampala or Entebbe. Upon arrival, you will proceed on a captivating journey across the equatorial line into the heart of Bwindi Impenetrable National Park. This iconic destination is renowned for its elusive mountain gorillas, a sight that offers unparalleled wildlife encounters.

As you traverse the lush landscapes, the scenery unfolds before you—various local villages interspersed amidst the verdant countryside and rolling hills. These breathtaking vistas provide a perfect backdrop for exploring this rich ecosystem, where over 120 species of mammals, 348 bird species, 220 butterfly varieties, 27 frog types, chameleons, geckos, and several endangered species coexist harmoniously.

Bwindi Impenetrable Forest stands out as one of the most biodiverse regions in East Africa, boasting more than 1,000 flowering plants, including 163 tree species and 104 fern varieties. Its unique flora supports an incredible array of habitats, making it a haven for countless species.

Upon entering the park, you'll find yourself immersed in the dense, ancient forest environment, where mountain gorillas roam freely. Witnessing these gentle giants in their natural habitat is both awe-inspiring and educational. Keep an eye open for other forest inhabitants like buffalo, elephants, black-fronted duikers, and bushbucks. Remember to pack your lunch, as you'll spend considerable time observing these magnificent creatures.

This guided trek through the forest is designed to last approximately two to three hours, but longer stays may be possible under certain circumstances. As you follow the gorilla group, immerse yourself in the tranquil beauty of the surrounding landscape, where you'll encounter numerous endemic species alongside the majestic mountain gorillas.

Day 2: Gorilla Tracking

Today, you embark on a thrilling adventure to observe the rare mountain gorillas. After gathering vital information from your rangers at the Uganda Wildlife Authority (UWA) office, you commence your search within the ancient Bwindi Impenetrable Forest. Depending on the location of the gorillas, your journey could span anywhere from a few hours to a full day.

Throughout your exploration, keep a lookout for common forest dwellers such as buffaloes, elephants, black-fronted duikers, and bushbucks. Don't miss the opportunity to enjoy a well-deserved break at the gorilla site, where you can relax and rejuvenate with a restorative massage tailored specifically for your gorilla experience.

The interaction with the gorillas promises a profound and emotional connection; standing mere meters away from these gentle giants allows you to witness their natural behaviors, interactions, and care for their young ones. This intimate encounter deepens your understanding of the importance of conservation efforts dedicated to protecting these precious animals.

Day 3: Drive Back to Entebbe

Following your exciting gorilla encounter, prepare for a memorable drive back to Kampala. Alongside your journey, we offer a delightful route lunch, ensuring you savor every moment during your departure. Should you miss the equator crossing on your initial day, no worries—we've included a stopover at the equator for you to capture this special moment.

Your knowledgeable guide will drop you off at your accommodation in Kampala or Entebbe, ready to welcome you back to your home. We extend our gratitude for choosing us to lead your safari adventure. Safe travels, and we eagerly await your return!.
