Tour Highlights

Your Itinerary

Day 1: Entebbe - Bwindi Impenetrable Forest via Equator Stop

Begin your journey early with a pick-up from your hotel or Entebbe International Airport. Drive southwest through Uganda’s picturesque countryside, with a memorable stop at the Equator line in Kayabwe for photos, stretching, and souvenirs. Continue past rolling hills, banana plantations, and local villages as you head toward Bwindi Impenetrable National Park, a UNESCO World Heritage Site and home to nearly half the world’s mountain gorillas.
Arrive at your lodge in Rushaga (or nearby sector) in the evening, where you’ll settle in and prepare for the exciting day ahead.
• Accommodation: Rushaga Gorilla Lodge or similar
• Meals: Lunch & Dinner

Day 2: Gorilla Trekking in Bwindi -Transfer to Lake Bunyonyi

After an early breakfast, head to the park headquarters for a pre-trek briefing by Uganda Wildlife Authority rangers. Then set off on foot into the misty forest to track a habituated gorilla family. The trek can take 2–6 hours depending on the group's movements, but the reward is a magical hour observing these gentle giants up close – watching them feed, interact, and care for their young.
After the trek, receive your gorilla tracking certificate and drive to Lake Bunyonyi, one of Africa’s most beautiful and deepest lakes. Known as “the place of little birds,” it offers stunning scenery and a peaceful atmosphere. Take a relaxing canoe or boat tour around the lake’s islands in the evening.
• Accommodation: Birdnest Resort or similar

Enjoy a leisurely breakfast by the lake before beginning your scenic return drive to Entebbe. Pass through rolling highlands, terraced farms, and bustling towns. Stop en route for lunch and photos.
