If you’re short on time but have a strong desire to visit Uganda’s magnificent Mountain Gorillas, here’s the perfect itinerary for you!
Day 1: Your journey begins as our Ntale Safaris representative meets you in Kigali, Rwanda, either at the airport or at your accommodations. From there, you’ll embark on a scenic drive to Bwindi Impenetrable Forest in Uganda, home to over half of the world’s Mountain Gorilla population. Prepare for an unforgettable adventure!
Day 2: In the morning, you’ll join a small group of like-minded trekkers for an hour-long encounter with these incredible creatures in their natural habitat. This experience is truly life-changing as you observe the gorillas up close. In the afternoon, we can arrange a community visit where you’ll learn about the Batwa people, their culture, crafts, and music, enriching your trip with local heritage.
Day 3: After a memorable stay, we’ll drive you back to Kigali, allowing you to resume your travels with unforgettable memories of your gorilla encounter and cultural immersion.
