Detailed 3-Day Uganda Gorilla Habituation Tour Itinerary
Day 1: Transfer to Bwindi Impenetrable National Park
After an early morning breakfast at your hotel in Kigali or Entebbe in Kampala, our gorilla tracking company guide will pick you up and transfer you to Bwindi Impenetrable National Park in southwestern Uganda.
During your journey, enjoy a city tour around Kigali or Kampala where you will visit a few important landmarks. The drive from Kigali to Bwindi takes about 4 to 5 hours, while transferring from Kampala to Bwindi takes 8 to 10 hours.
Upon arrival at Bwindi Impenetrable National Park, check in to your lodge and relax as you prepare for your mountain gorilla habituation experience the following day. Overnight at Ichumbi Gorilla Lodge.
Day 2: Gorilla Habituation in Bwindi
This is your day with the gorillas. Spend about 4 hours with the gorilla group in Rushaga that is available for habituation experiences.
Gorilla habituation experience accommodates only four people per group with only two gorilla groups available at the moment. The experience lasts for four hours, allowing you to spend the whole day with the gorillas.
In comparison, normal gorilla trekking lasts one hour and accommodates eight people per group. With gorilla habituation, you get to spend more time with fewer group members, providing a richer experience.
After your gorilla habituation experience in Rushaga, return to your starting point, collect your respective gorilla habituation passes, and return to your lodge.
Day 3: Transfer Back to Kigali
Spend the morning relaxing at Bwindi Impenetrable National Park before transferring back to Kigali. You will be dropped off at a hotel of your choice or Kigali International Airport to catch your flight back home.
This marks the end of your 3 Days Bwindi Gorilla Habituation Tour from Kigali.
