2-Days Uganda Gorilla trekking safari – starting from Kigali

The 2-day gorilla tour starting from Kigali is designed for visitors who prefer to use the shorter route from Kigali to Bwindi through the Katuna border and then to the beautiful landscapes in Ruhija
Detailed Itinerary

Day 1: Kigali Rwanda to Bwindi Uganda

A company driver will pick you up from Kigali International Airport or your hotel and brief you about your tour. Before your journey to Uganda, you will have an opportunity to tour the city of Kigali and important sites like the genocide war memorial centers. After touring the city, you will embark on a 4 hours drive to Bwindi through the Katuna (Uganda – Rwanda border). After Katuna you will head to Ruhija in Bwindi. This journey will allow you to see the beautiful countryside and landscapes in Rwanda and Uganda. Rwanda has eye-catching rolling hills and plantations while Uganda has dense green forests around the Bwindi area.
Dinner and overnight will be at Ride 4 a Woman (budget) Buhoma Gorilla Camp (Mid-range) or Mahogany Springs (Luxury).
Day 2: Gorilla Trekking in Bwindi and Departure

You will wake up very early to have breakfast. Our guide will pick you up and take you to the park offices where you will be briefed and given information regarding tracking. You will be assigned a gorilla group to track.

Your lodge should arrange for you to pack lunch and drink water. Gorilla trekking takes anywhere from 30 minutes to 6 hours depending on the location of your assigned gorilla family that particular day. Once you spot the gorillas, take as many photos as you can and try to follow instructions from the wardens/guides.

After completing the trek, come back to your hotel, freshen up, eat/drink something, and check in. Thereafter, our guide will take you back to Kigali International Airport or your hotel.
