Book this 3-day trip with us and get the chance to enjoy guided gorilla trekking in Bwindi Impenetrable Forest Nation Park. The national park has been so named because of the dense undergrowth as well as vines and creepers that festoon the trees, making it difficult to travel through even as the mysterious, haunting atmosphere they create is awesome.
Drive to the national park on the first day of the trip. Check into your accommodation upon arriving there late in the afternoon after which you are free for the rest of the day. Travel through the forest on the second day of the trip in search of gorillas. Upon spotting the band of gorillas that has been assigned to you, you can spend around an hour watching them before hiking back to your accommodation.
We will drive you back to Kampala after the trip is over. In case you want an accommodation upgrade, you can always write to us by clicking on the blue 'Make An Enquiry' button on the top right of the tour page. For more details, please go through the itinerary below.
