Detailed 2-Day Itinerary

Day 1: Transfer from Entebbe or Kampala to Bwindi Impenetrable National Park

Your 2 Days Gorilla Tracking Safari in Bwindi Impenetrable National Park begins with an early morning pickup from your hotel in Kampala or Entebbe. After meeting your professional driver-guide, you will travel southwest through Uganda’s scenic countryside toward Bwindi.

Enjoy views of green hills, rural communities, farms, and traditional trading centers along the way. Depending on the route, schedule, and time available, you may stop for refreshments, lunch, and photographs.

Bwindi is a UNESCO World Heritage Site renowned for its ancient rainforest and endangered mountain gorillas. Upon arrival in the appropriate trekking sector, check in at your lodge, relax, and prepare for the following day’s adventure.

Your guide will brief you about the trekking arrangements, recommended clothing, and the importance of following gorilla conservation guidelines.

Accommodation: Lodge near the assigned Bwindi trekking sector.

Meals: Lunch and dinner, depending on your selected package and arrival time.

Driving time: Approximately 8–10 hours from Kampala or Entebbe, depending on the route, road conditions, and stops.

Day 2: Mountain Gorilla Trekking and Return to Kampala or Entebbe

Wake up early and enjoy breakfast before transferring to the designated Uganda Wildlife Authority gorilla trekking briefing point. Your guide will help you prepare for the activity and confirm your trekking arrangements.

After the briefing, join the ranger-guided trek into the rainforest in search of a habituated mountain gorilla family. The trek can take several hours depending on the gorillas’ location, terrain, and weather conditions.

Once the gorillas are located, you will normally have up to one hour to observe them, following the rules provided by the rangers. Watch as they feed, groom, rest, and interact within their family groups. Your experience supports responsible gorilla tourism and contributes to conservation efforts.

After trekking, return to the starting point and collect your trekking certificate if offered through the applicable arrangements. Depending on the timing and road conditions, begin your return journey to Kampala or Entebbe.

Your 2 Days Gorilla Tracking Safari in Bwindi Impenetrable National Park concludes with a drop-off at your hotel or another agreed location. Because the return drive is long, we recommend confirming the itinerary carefully if you have an international flight on the same evening.
