1 Day Gorilla Trek in Uganda From Kigali

Itinerary

Day 1: Gorilla Trekking - Bwindi From Kigali

Begin your 1 day gorilla trekking with a 4:00 AM pickup from your Kigali hotel. The scenic drive to Bwindi Impenetrable National Park takes about 4-5 hours, including a border crossing into Uganda. Along the way, soak in the breathtaking views of the rolling hills and lush greenery that define both Rwanda and Uganda.

Upon arrival at Bwindi, your gorilla trekking adventure kicks off with a briefing at the park headquarters. You'll then be guided through the dense forest, tracking a habituated gorilla family. The trek can last between 2 to 6 hours, depending on the gorillas' location. When you finally find them, you'll have the extraordinary opportunity to spend one hour observing and photographing these majestic creatures in their natural habitat.

After the trek, you'll return to Kigali, arriving in the late evening, capping off a day filled with unforgettable experiences.
