How it is Schedule?

After having a morning breakfast in your hotel, your safari guide will be readily present and will transfer you to Bwindi Impenetrable National Park. The journey which may take up to about 8hours will be comprised of several stopovers at different points for refreshing and lunch. Bwindi Impenetrable National Park houses the largest population of the world’s remaining population of the rare mountain Gorillas. As soon as you arrive into the park, you will check in at Rushaga Gorilla camp for dinner and overnight stay (Full board basis)

Arise early to the great forest sounds of the African Jungle for your breakfast. With our packed lunch, we go for the pre-trek orientation from the rangers who will tell you what to expect and how to conduct yourself while in the Jungle trekking the gorillas.

Your trek could last anything from 2 to 8 hours. Therefore your physical stamina and endurance is greatly required for this experience. The trekt for the great apes is tiresome but very well rewarded by meeting , spending time with and photographing these gentle giants (The mountain  gorillas) as you look straight into their inviting brown eyes. This is a life time thrill of a wild life adventure that only Africa can offer. After your one hour with the gorillas, you return to the starting point of a point recommended by your ranger to have you lunch. Having replenished your energy with a meal, you will then embark on your journey back to the starring point to meet your guide who will drive you back to the hotel for a short break before heading to the Batwa community.

The Batwa; are a marginalized indigenous tribe of the Bwindi impenetrable forest and the surrounding areas. “Originally, The Batwa were forest-dwelling hunter-gatherers based in the Great Lakes region of Central Africa, and are widely accepted as the original inhabitants of the region but many are now homeless and a good number now live is specially established communities around Bwindi forest.

You will start this day with an early morning breakfast and preparations for a transfer back to Kampala/ Entebbe.
