Get ready for the next day depature for your Bwindi Impenetrable Gorilla Trekking.

The 9-hour drive from Kampala to the untamed wilderness of Bwindi Impenetrable Forest National Park is a long but very scenic drive over winding roads through stunning nature, countryside and bustling villages. As you approach Bwindi, the road  gradually narrows, snaking its way through the dense, mountainous forest. Additionally, along the way, wildlife begins to reveal itself, offering potential glimpses of monkeys, zebras, and antelopes. Prepare yourself for an unforgettable experience with the endangered mountain gorillas awaiting you the next day.

Please note that due to the longway drive from Kampala to Bwindi, there is an option for a scheduled light aircraft flight from Entebbe to Kihihi or Kisoro Airstrip, which includes a brief transfer to the lodge, available at an additional cost.

Embark on second day in Bwindi, engage in Uganda gorilla trekking and immersing yourself in the local community. During a mountain gorilla trekking tour, you can hike along challenging trails, spending either an hour with the habituated groups or, at an extra cost, up to four hours observing the less familiar giants in their natural habitat. This once-in-a-lifetime experience, where you can watch the gorillas eat, play, and be guarded by the silverback, will leave you in awe and may even bring tears of joy to your eyes. Please note that gorilla trekking is conducted in groups of up to 8 people, requires proper hiking shoes, and typically lasts 2 to 4 hours. Also, since this is a very popular activity which needs both a permit and a guide, it has to be booked separately and well in advance.

In the early morning, after your breakfast, you’ll embark on your journey back to Kampala. As you drive back to Kampala, you again pass through the villages with their lively marketplaces and the outstretched countryside with tea and coffee plantations, smooth green hills and the occasional wildlife waving you goodbye. After several days of sheer adventure, even the ride back to Kampala is an experience to enjoy!

You are expected to arrive in Kampala in the evening, where you’ll be dropped off at Hilton Garden Inn Kampala for dinner and an overnight stay.

This is your last day pf your Bwindi Gorilla trekking! Unfortunately, it’s time to catch your flight home from Entebbe International Airport. Sad to leave…? Not to worry! We can easily add a few days of safari to your holiday, or extend it with a few days on the shores of Lake Victoria for some whitewater rafting or other exhilarating activities!
