Detailed Itinerary for 3 Days Bwindi Gorilla Trekking Safari from Kigali
Day 1: Transfer from Kigali to Bwindi Impenetrable National Park
After breakfast today, you will go on a game drive across the park as you make your way to Bwindi Impenetrable National Park via the Katuna border crossing. You will have lunch along the trip and anticipate arriving in the late evening for some rest.
Day 2: Gorilla Trekking in Bwindi Forest
Your gorilla trekking adventure will begin in the morning following a full meal. You will travel to the park headquarters with a packed lunch and meet your park ranger guide at 7:00 a.m. to register. The guide will brief you on the dos and don’ts of gorilla tracking before leading you into the bush to begin your adventure to discover the endangered mountain gorillas.
The hiking experience might last anywhere from 1 to 8 hours, depending on where the gorilla family is situated, since they frequently move around in search of food. As you look for the mountain gorillas, you will hear many birds and may possibly see other primates. Following a successful trip, you will return to your accommodation to unwind.
Day 3: Transfer Back to Kigali
After a leisurely breakfast on the final day of your three-day Bwindi gorilla trekking safari from Kigali, you will check out of the guesthouse and find your driver guide waiting in the lobby. You may then take an optional one-hour cultural excursion to the nearby Batwa (pygmy) hamlet located outside the park. You will get the opportunity to interact with the local Batwa people and learn more about their fascinating culture while being entertained with traditional dance and singing performances, as well as folk tales.
Afterwards, begin the drive back to Kigali with an en-route lunch and experience breathtaking views of the gorgeous landscape, Kigezi hills, traditional homesteads, terraced farmlands, and more. Upon arrival, our driver guide will transport you to Kigali International Airport for your departure flight or to any other location as advised.
