3-DAY SAFARI (Gorilla trekking)

Our driver-guide will pick you up from your hotel in Kampala/Entebbe Town and either transfer you to the airport for your domestic flight to Kisoro Airstrip or travel to Bwindi Impenetrable National Park by car. By road it takes approximately 9-10 hours, but from Kisoro airstrip to the lodge, it’s about one and a half hours to 2 hours, depending on the state of the dry weather road. If you choose to travel by road, you will have two stopovers; one at the equator to witness the water experiment taking place, take pictures, and buy a souvenir, and the other at the “Igongo Cultural Center” for lunch before we continue driving to Bwindi. We arrive later in the afternoon and relax by your lodge as you wait for your dinner and overnight.

Travel time: ± 9 hours
Flight time: ± 1.5 hours

Very early in the morning, after breakfast, you will carry your packed lunch and be at the park ranger station by 7.30 am for registration and briefing and start the gorilla trekking experience at around 8:00 am. This remarkable experience of searching for the famous Mountain Gorillas is strenuous and thus requires one to be physically fit; however, the thrill of encountering these humble and gentle giants erases the poor memories you went through while finding them. The trekking takes 2–9 hours, depending on the movement of the gorillas in the jungle, and you will spend one hour with them as you take photos and learn about their behaviors. After the trekking, we will return to the lodge, where will spend the rest of the day relaxing or going for an optional activity that is;

• Batwa Trail Experience at USD $80 per person
• Hike to the waterfall inside the park at USD $75 per person
• Nature walk inside the park at USD $75 per person
• Hike to the waterfall outside the park at USD $35 per person
• Nature walk outside the park at USD $35 per person

Dinner and overnight at our lodge.
