No previous trekking experience is necessary, and experienced ranger guides lead the activity. Porters can be hired for additional assistance.What Makes This Tour UniqueThis itinerary combines two countries in only three days while keeping travel practical through a Kigali arrival and departure. It pairs the unforgettable experience of observing mountain gorillas in their natural habitat with peaceful relaxation at Lake Bunyonyi. Personalized service, reliable cross-border transport, knowledgeable local guides and carefully coordinated gorilla permits make the journey smooth, safe and memorable.

After an early breakfast, you will drive to the briefing point in the forest of Bwindi Impenetrable National Park to get to be enlightened about your adventure with the mountain gorillas. You are advised to carry enough drinking water and a lunch box. At a cost of 15 US dollars, you can get a porter to carry your bag and give you a hand in slippery or steep parts of the forest. After the briefing, you are distributed into groups of eight and led by a park ranger into the forest where you will spend one hour with the gentle giants. Rain gear is important considering that Bwindi is a tropical rainforest. You will be transferred to Lake Bunyonyi, where you will take a swim in Uganda’s most beautiful lake or take a canoe to enjoy nature and explore the surrounding communities.
After breakfast, you will be transferred to the airport, depending on your flight time. You could do a city tour and visit the Genocide Memorial Site. Please arrange with your guide so that everything is done according to the available time.
