Bwindi impenetrable forest is a located in southwestern Uganda, kanungu district on the edge of the Albertine rift, the western branch of the east African rift valley. Bwindi is one of the most biologically diverse areas on earth, where half the world’s populations of the endangered mountain gorillas live. This thick forest hosts about 120 mammals like forest elephants, antelopes, several primate species like chimpanzees and baboons and about 350 bird species. The major attraction of visitors to this forest is the gorilla trekking but tourist can also enjoy bird watching, mountain hiking, nature walks plus community visits. You are expected to arrive a night before the safari or have an early morning landing. Your driver/guide will pick and depart for Bwindi Impenetrable National Park. Encounter the Bwindi Gorilla first hand on your trekking expedition. With a strenuous day trekking, it would be ideal to find a better place for relaxation.
Today, you will be picked up from either the airport/ hotel depending on your location. That’s where you will start from and embark on a 8hour journey which covers a distance of 469km from Kampala city to the great Bwindi impenetrable forest. After covering a distance of 266.5km, you will arrive to Mbarara town which is a 4 hour drive and stop over for lunch and a little refreshment. From here, you will be driven straight to your lodge
You will wake up to ready breakfast at the lodge then get ready to hit the forest for the amazing gorilla trekking activity. This activity can take 2 to 7 hours depending on your luck that day with the gorillas. After they are tracked down, you will be allowed a maximum of 1 hour to interface with these awesome primates. You will be taken to the Bwindi impenetrable forest national park offices handling gorilla tracking for orientation.
You will have a relaxed breakfast then you may opt to enjoy a leisure in your hotel before you set off on the journey to Entebbe. Else, embark on your return journey to Entebbe Airport or accommodation of your booking. Expect en route stopovers in Mbarara town for lunch and the Uganda Equator line mark in Kayabwe for some memorable photos (if you didn’t stop on the first day) and maybe buying some art pieces of interest.
