    10h
    You will be picked up by one of our driver/guides and start on your exciting 3-Day gorilla tracking tour to Bwindi Impenetrable National Park. The drive will take you southwest Uganda by road, cross the Equator then to Mbarara for Lunch and through Savannah grasslands to Bwindi Impenetrable National Park. The scenic drive through Kigezi Highlands (commonly referred as “the Switzerland of Uganda”) and banana plantations take you to the Gorilla Sanctuary of Bwindi National Park. You will arrive in Bwindi Impenetrable National Park and will mainly do little but just check in your accommodation, then set out for the Batwa cultural experience. relax as you prepare for the Bwindi Gorilla tracking experience the next day.
Day 2: Gorilla trekking and Transfer to Lake Bunyonyi for relaxation
  1. Bwindi Impenetrable National Park
    8h
    After an early breakfast and a briefing by a ranger guide, you will enter the Gorilla Sanctuary for your adventure. The beauty of this rain forest is spectacular! The area offers dramatic steeply forested landscape and is incredibly dense, but crisscrossed by numerous animal trails allowing access to tourists. The time taken and the terrain vary with the movements of these great primates. Once you locate a gorilla group, you will be allowed an hour in their presence. The thrill of spending time observing these gentle and endangered giants is an awesome, exciting experience to be long savored.

    Return to your lodge. Have your lunch and thereafter check out for a transfer to Lake Bunyonyi. Lake Bunyonyi is framed by lush, green-terraced hills that reach a height of (2,200 – 2,478m) but it’s the 29 islands of various shapes and sizes scattered across the water that make it most magical — you could admire them all day.

  1. Entebbe
    9h
    You will have a relaxed breakfast then you may opt to enjoy a swim in the lake before you set off on the journey to Entebbe. Else, embark on your return journey to Entebbe Airport or accommodation of your booking. Expect en route stopovers in Mbarara town for lunch and the Uganda Equator line mark in Kayabwe for some memorable photos (if you didn’t stop on the first day) and maybe buying some art pieces of interest.
