Detailed Itinerary
Day 1: Pick up from Kigali and Transfer to Bwindi National Park
Your driver guide from Safari Vacations and Travel Services will pick you up from Kigali International Airport. Start your safari at Bwindi Impenetrable Forest National Park. This journey is very scenic and will take you through a country of a thousand hills Rwanda to the Pearl of Africa Uganda. You cross over the border to Uganda at Katuna or Chanika border and make a stop at Kabale or Kisoro town before proceeding to Bwindi Impenetrable Forest National Park overnight.
Lodging: Mahogany Springs/Nkuringo Gorilla Camp/Rushaga Gorilla Camp
Meal plan: Half board
Day 2: Gorilla Trekking in Bwindi and transfer back to Kigali
This morning after your breakfast and with your packed lunch, you will drive to the National Park offices for a briefing about the dos and don’ts while on your Gorilla trekking. After that, you will be transferred to the starting point of your Gorilla walk. Please note that Gorilla family allocation depends on your interests, fitness, and age though there is no guarantee as these Gorillas keep moving and changing locations as you walk to them.
Please inform your guide of your interests and he will try to request the Gorilla family of your choice before you start the trek into the Bwindi forest. Gorilla trekking can be strenuous and a certain level of fitness is required. Gorilla trekking can take from 30 minutes to three-quarters of the day so one needs to prepare for both. Your guide will try to provide information about trees, species of birds, and other wildlife in the forest until you reach a given family of Gorillas.
You will have only one hour of photography and observing mountain Gorillas as they go on with their daily day activities and then trek back to the National Park offices to pick up your certificates. You will then drive back to Kigali Rwanda through Katuna or Chanika boarders for your overnight in Kigali town or your International departure flight. Please ensure that you book flights that depart late from Kigali International Airport if you intend to fly back after your two days Bwindi Gorilla safari through Kigali.
