Itinerary: 4 Day Flying Safari to the Gorillas in Bwindi Forest

Day 1: Transfer from Kampala to Bwindi Impenetrable National Park

Pick up from your hotel in Entebbe and transfer to Kajjansi airstrip for your scheduled flight to Kihihi airstrip with African Jungle Adventures. The flight is less than 60 minutes saving you from long hours of driving. Dinner and overnight stay at Mahogany Springs Lodge/ Buhoma Lodge

Day 2: First Gorilla Trek, Afternoon Community Walk

Have breakfast at the lodge and you will assemble at the park headquarters (with packed lunch/snacks and water) for a briefing from the Park rangers about the dos and don’ts while with the Gorillas, before embarking on the memorable activity of tracking the amazing apes. Gorilla tracking will take you through thick vegetation and the ease of finding the Gorillas will depend on their movement in their natural habitat.baby-gorillas

A maximum of one hour will be allowed with the Gorillas for photographing, video recording, and observation. Later descend to your Lodge for late Lunch. In the evening, if interested, you may go for a cultural walk to nearby communities, where you will be entertained by the Batwa Community, and learn more about their unique history. Dinner and overnight at your lodge on DAY 1.

Day 3: Second Gorilla Trek

This is another day for the second gorilla trekking tour in Bwindi National Park! It is always more rewarding to visit a different gorilla family from the previous day. Return to the lodge and relax in the evening as you wait for dinner and overnight.
