You will meet your tour guide (our Company representative) and transfer to Kampala. If time allows, enjoy a city tour of Kampala to visit Kasubi Tombs, Bahai Temple, Namugongo Martyrs Shrine, the Uganda Museum, and craft shops around town—dinner and overnight at your hotel of good standing.

Have breakfast, check out, and depart for Bwindi Forest National Park in southwestern Uganda. Stop at the equator for photographs and lunch en route in Mbarara. This full-day scenic drive offers great views of Ankole cattle farms, banana plantations, and the Kigezi hills.  Dinner and overnight at Broadbill Forest Camp, Gorilla Mist Camp, Four Gorillas Lodge or Mahogany Springs Lodge.

Wake up early, have breakfast, and with a packed lunch, transfer to the park headquarters for registration and a briefing about the dos and don’ts of gorilla trekking. At 8:00 am, embark on a hike to trek one of the 20 gorilla families in Bwindi Forest. Spend an hour with gorillas, learn about their behaviour, take pictures, and enjoy this memorable adventure.  If time allows, visit Batwa communities for a cultural performance in the evening. Dinner and overnight stay at the lodge (Day 2)

It may take 2 to 8 hours, or more, and you should be prepared to walk long distances over steep, muddy terrain, sometimes with rain overhead, before you encounter any gorillas. “The excitement of seeing the gorillas makes it all worthwhile!” The briefing will cover how to behave and handle these gentle giants. Dinner and overnight at Luxury Gorilla Forest camp / Gorilla Mist Camp or basic at Buhoma Community Rest Camp.

After breakfast, drive to Kisoro and cross the border into Rwanda, with plenty of scenic views en route. Dinner and overnight at Mountain Gorilla View Lodge, Kwitonda Lodge, Virunga Lodge, Bisate Lodge or Le Bambou Gorilla Lodge.

Have breakfast in the morning and transfer to the Kinigi Park Headquarters for a briefing on gorilla trekking. In your group of 8, you will visit one of the ten gorilla families in Volcanoes National Park. Gorilla trekking in Rwanda is less strenuous than in Bwindi, Uganda. After spending an hour with the gorillas, hike back to meet your driver-guide and transfer to Lake Bunyonyi. Dinner and overnight stay at Arcadia Cottages, Bunyonyi Overland Camp or Bunyonyi Lake Resort.

In the morning, have a sumptuous breakfast at leisure and cherish some relaxing moments on the shores of this peaceful lake. Join a boat cruise to explore the different beautiful islands of Lake Bunyonyi. You can choose to go birding, cycling, sunbathing, swimming, or even canoeing—dinner and overnight at Arcadia Cottages, Bunyonyi Overland camp, Bunyonyi Rock Resort or Byona Amagara Lodge.

After breakfast, drive to Kampala, having lunch en route. You will be transferred to the airport for your departure flight.
