You will travel via the Bwindi Impenetrable Forest National Park, which is situated in southwest Uganda, as part of our 4 Days Uganda Gorillas and Wildlife Safari itinerary. It takes almost eight hours by car to get reach Bwindi National Park, home to approximately 630 mountain gorillas. A fantastic experience with one of the 20 habituated mountain gorilla groups is provided by gorilla trekking safari. In addition to gorillas, you may get a chance to observe red-tailed monkeys, chimpanzees, baboons, and black and white colobus monkeys, among other primates.
Detailed Itinerary.
Day 1: Transfer to Bwindi Impenetrable National Park
Our driving guide will pick you up from your hotel or place of residence to begin your 4-day gorilla trekking and Queen Elizabeth experience. He or she will then give you an overview of the safari. After that, travel to the southwest of the nation, stopping along the way to take pictures and conduct experiments. Next, drive to Mbarara and have lunch at the Agip Motel before continuing on to Bwindi National Park, which is home to mountain gorillas. Roughly 630 mountain gorillas, or half of the remaining population worldwide, are thought to reside in Bwindi National Park. It’s a lengthy yet enjoyable drive. Travel south to Buhoma to see the terraced slopes of the Kigezi Highlands, sometimes referred to as Africa’s Switzerland.
Accommodation: Buhoma Gorilla Havens Lodge, Trekkers Tavern Lodge, Mahogany springs.
Meals: (Lunch, Dinner).
Day 2: Gorilla Trekking in Bwindi
After starting your day with a packed lunch and an early breakfast, your driver guide will take you to the starting site so your guide can give you a briefing. After receiving a guide to help you follow gorillas, you can start your expedition. Depending on how these gentle giants move, the time required and the terrain can vary from one to eight hours. The excitement of finally meeting in person eases the agony of an occasionally difficult and drawn-out journey. Though every encounter is unique and has its own rewards, you can probably expect to see the adults grooming, feeding, and resting up close while the children playfully romp and swing from vines.
You have the option of continuing to unwind at the lodge or going on a stroll around the Batwa community in the evening, which will allow you to meet the locals, discover how they live, and see them perform traditional music and dances. Head back to the lodge for dinner and a restful night.
Accommodation: Buhoma Gorilla Havens Lodge, Trekkers Tavern Lodge, Mahogany Springs.
Meals: (Breakfast, Lunch, Dinner).
Day 3: Transfer to Queen Elizabeth National Park

After driving through the Ishasha area in quest of the lion tree climbing, you will check into the lodge. Take a two-hour launch cruise on the Kazinga channel after lunch. This canal, which links Lakes Edward and George, is teeming with buffalo and elephants along its banks, as well as schools of hippos. Hippos that are grazing, elephants, lions, leopards, spotted hyenas, waterbucks, stripped jackals, and several warthogs are among the animals you might encounter. Following the launch cruise, there will be a quick evening game drive.
