This safari suits travelers who only have three days to come face to face with the huge, yet gentle giants; the mountain Gorillas that reside in Uganda’s Bwindi Impenetrable Forest National park. However, arrival and departure are out of Rwanda’s Kigali International Airport. It takes about 5 hours to drive from Kigali to Southern Bwindi, compared to about 10 hrs driving time from Kampala. The safari is therefore ideal for those looking for a shorter driving time.

Begin the day with breakfast ready for trekking, which begins at 8:00 am with a briefing from the UWA staff. Ensure to carry along with you rain jacket, drinking water, snacks, jungle boots etc. The guides will lead you inside the jungle to see the shy Primates for a group you have been booked for. Do not forget to take your lunch boxes and all the necessary gear to track the rare Mountain Gorilla, perhaps one of the most exciting wildlife experiences on earth. The tracking may take between 2 and 6 hours but it’s well worth the effort. The afternoon is spent on a village walk. The Buhoma Village Walk gives you a great opportunity to see how the people surrounding Bwindi Impenetrable Forest. It also is a great way to support the local community in a direct way.
