4-Day / 3-Night Bwindi Gorilla Trekking Safari
Day 1: Arrival in Entebbe – Fly or Drive to Bwindi
Arrive at Entebbe International Airport, where you’ll be met by your safari guide. Depending on your preference, either take a scenic domestic flight to Bwindi or begin a full-day drive through the countryside, passing tea plantations, rolling hills, and rural Ugandan life. Arrive at your forest lodge or camp near the park in the evening for dinner and overnight.
Day 2: Gorilla Trekking in Bwindi Forest
After an early breakfast, head to the Bwindi park headquarters for a briefing with Uganda Wildlife Authority rangers. Then set off into the dense forest for a guided gorilla trek, which can take 2–6 hours depending on the gorilla family's location. Once found, you’ll spend a magical one hour observing the gorillas in their natural habitat — a humbling and unforgettable experience. Return to your lodge for a well-deserved rest, dinner, and reflection by the fire.
Day 3: Cultural Walk or Relaxation
oday, enjoy a relaxed day at your lodge or opt for a community cultural walk, visiting a Batwa pygmy village, local craftspeople, or a forest waterfall. Alternatively, unwind at the lodge with panoramic forest views, birdwatching, or a massage. This day allows you to soak in Bwindi’s atmosphere at your own pace.
Day 4: Return to Entebbe – Departure
After breakfast, begin your journey back to Entebbe by road or flight, depending on your package. Arrive in time for your onward flight or connect to another East African destination, such as Kigali, Serengeti, or Zanzibar, for a longer holiday extension.
