- Day 1 - Kampala – Bwindi Impenetrable ForestOn day one of our mountain gorilla trekking tour, you will have an early morning breakfast, then your driver/ guide will pick you up from your place of accommodation and drive westwards, to Bwindi Impenetrable national park. We will make a stopover at the Equator for toilet break, the water experiment and look at the crafts, we later proceed on to Mbarara for another stopover for lunch at Igongo Cultural Centre or Agip Motel. We later proceed on to Bwindi Impenetrable national park. The park is about 450 kilometers West of Kampala and the journey takes about 8-9 hours, driving through the rolling hills of Mbarara and Kabale as you head to the Bwindi Impenetrable Forest, where the rare and endangered mountain gorillas are found. We arrive at the park in the evening and check-in to the service of Buhoma Community Rest Camp or The Harven Lodge or Nkuringo Bwindi Gorilla Lodge for dinner and overnight.

- Day 2 - Gorilla Tracking in Bwindi Gorilla ForestAfter a great night in a natural environment, wake up to a beautiful view of the Sunrise over the misty Bwindi Impenetrable national park, have breakfast and at about 7:45am, with our packed lunch, we move to the park offices for registration and briefing before you start the gorilla trekking in Bwindi Impenetrable Forest National Park. Gorilla trekking can be challenging in that sometimes you climb steep hills under muddy conditions and it’s unpredictable how long this will take because it always depends on the movement of these great Apes. There are many factors that determine the movement of the mountain gorillas and food availability is one of them, but generally the activity can take between 2 to 8 hours. You go back to the lodge, relax around, later visit Batwa people, dinner and Overnight at Buhoma Community Rest Camp, or The Harven Lodge or Nkuringo Bwindi Gorilla Lodge.

It was my first time with my family to come to africa but we always wanted to see the gorillas. My 17year always wanted to track gorillas which he always forced me to watch on YouTube and eventually picked interest. We finally agreed to come to Uganda as it seemed a beautiful country and indeed it was with hospitable people. We booked with Wanderlust Africa Vacations and I must say, this is a professional company with experienced guides with a lot of humor and professionalism. We enjoyed our 3 days tour and also extended more 2 days to explore the source of the Nile in Jinja and also Kampala city night life. I recommend this company!
