Itinerary
Depart Entebbe \ Kampala for your first day of the Uganda Gorilla Trekking Tour. An 8 hour road transfer to Bwindi Impenetrable Forest National Park located in South Western Uganda. Quite a long drive but worth it because you get to enjoy the countryside scenery, some of the most beautiful nature images all the way to the Virunga Mountains. Keep your cameras near you and our driver will definitely stop if you need him to so that you can capture your beautiful moment.
You will have an en route stopover at the Equator crossing for photographic and simple experiences before continuing to Mbarara town for lunch. After lunch, you will embark on your scenic drive to Bwindi National Park or to Kabale for an overnight stay at Rushaga Gorilla Havens Lodge or Trekkers Tavern Lodge.
