Detailed itinerary of 4 Days Bwindi Gorilla Trekking Safari

Day 1: Arrival

Your guide will welcome you to Entebbe and assist with your transfer to your hotel in Entebbe. Depending on your arrival time, you will enjoy a walk along the beach or enjoy a swim in Uganda’s famous lake and explore the local culture by visiting the local food markets of Entebbe.   Have dinner and overnight stay.

Overnight at Protea Hotel Entebbe.

Day 2: Transfer to Bwindi Impenetrable National Park

Wake up early for your flight to Bwindi Impenetrable National Park, where you will be spending the next two nights. Located in Southwestern Uganda on the edge of the Rift Valley, Bwindi Impenetrable National Park stretches 321 km2 and sits on the altitude of 1,160m – 2,607m above sea level. The park lies on the edge of the Rift Valley and its mist-covered hillsides are blanketed by one of Uganda’s oldest and most biologically diverse rainforests, which dates back over 25,000 years and contains almost 40 species of plants.

Upon landing at Kihihi Airstrip, you will be warmly welcomed by our guide and transfer you to your lodge. You can spend your afternoon at leisure, take in the beautiful scenery, spend time at the spa or enjoy a sunset drink on your private viewing deck.

Overnight at Clouds Mountain Gorilla Lodge.

Day 3: Gorilla Trekking in Bwindi Forest

This is the day you have been waiting for. Wake up with the sun and meet your guide for an informative briefing before trekking deep into the jungle in search of endangered mountain gorillas. These sensitive creatures are surprisingly exclusive, leaving the path and duration of your trek somewhat up to fate.

With the help of your expert local guide, you will quietly navigate the dense forest watching for birdlife and other species as you pick your way through vegetated trails. Eventually, the strenuous trek will pay off when you discover a gorilla family-seemingly out of nowhere, going about their daily routines.

Adult gorillas chew lazily on the surrounding vegetation, amicably gazing at the guests who have traveled from all corners of the globe to see them, Juvenile gorillas tumble and play in the undergrowth, gathering strength and learning important life skill to survive in the jungle. After one hour, leave the habituated family in peace to retrace your steps back to the lodge.

Overnight at Clouds Mountain Gorilla Lodge.

Day 4: Departure – Flight back to Entebbe

Enjoy a fresh, delicious breakfast at your lodge overlooking the mountains and pristine forest below this morning. Take some time to reflect on the once-in-a-lifetime journey you have experienced before heading to the airstrip for your flight back to Entebbe. From Entebbe, connect with your international departure flight home.
