4 Days Gorilla Tracking and Wildlife Adventure Safari Tour from Kampala, Uganda

Itinerary

Day 1: Travel to Bwindi Impenetrable Forest National Park, Uganda

Set off early for Bwindi Impenetrable National Park, stopping in Kabale town for lunch. Stay at one of the lodging options in Buhoma, Ruhija or Nkuringo depending on which gorilla group you have arranged to track. Spend the cool Bwindi evening sat around your lodge’s cozy fireplace.

Day 2: Gorilla Tracking in Bwindi Impenetrable Forest National Park, Uganda

After a briefing from your ranger guide, begin tracking the mountain gorillas through the ancient Bwindi Impenetrable Forest. This can take a couple of hours or a whole day depending on the location of the apes. Keep an eye out for forest species such as buffaloes, elephants, black fronted duikers and bushbucks. After a well-earned lunch back at your accommodation, rest your tired legs and enjoy a view of the forested hillside, or take a restorative massage, offered in many of the lodges.

Day 3: Village Walks and Cultural Performances

Discover the communities that live side by side with the gorillas on a village walk – there are various options in Buhoma, Nkuringo, Rubuguri and Nyundo. Activities include meeting traditional healers, visiting authentic homesteads, watching the local blacksmith at work and learning skills such as basket weaving and millet grinding. There are also cultural performances by Kiga and Batwa communities and a group of orphans. These tours benefit the communities and the environment!

Day 4: Guided Waterfall and Nature Walk In Bwindi - Head back to Kampala

If staying in Buhoma, take a hike through the forest to Munyanga Waterfall. For those staying South of the park, take the 3-4 hour walk from Nkuringo all the way across the impenetrable forest to Buhoma, where your vehicle will meet you with your luggage.
