5 days – Gorilla Tracking: With Lake Bunyonyi Eco Resort

At 0630hrs, pick up from your residence in Kampala or Entebbe, and after a trip briefing, sign in our trip book and depart Kampala heading to Bwindi. We shall have an en-route stop at the Equator for a photo opportunity and Mbarara town respectively for lunch. The last stretch of the Bwindi is a picturesque one that reveals the exhilarating nature and beauty of the Kigezi Region. Check in at your reserved accommodation facility for the rest of the night.

Wake up to the hissing, whizzing, and hooting sounds of the dense Bwindi Impenetrable Forest National Park. Pack lunch, water, and emergency supplies and follow your allocated ranger guide to the gorilla sanctuary. Trekking/tracking gorillas is a vigorous activity as tourists explore the abundant flora and fauna of the Bwindi forest. Conformity to the park rules is vital and maximum silence is crucial for you to listen to the rhythms of nature. As you approach gorillas maintain maximum calmness and exploit every moment of the strictly allocated one hour in the presence of the gentle great apes. With great memories of the wonders of nature, trek back to the staging area and join your driver back to your lodge.

A misty, foggy and chilly morning ushers you to a new day in the dominion of the great apes, have breakfast, check-out and take meandering routes to Lake Bunyonyi. Cross by boat to Bunyonyi Eco Resort and settle-in for the rest of the day.

A fresh gentle breeze conquers the early morning as the sun squeezes through the clouds to brighten the day. Have breakfast and embark on taking a dug-out canoe ride on Lake Bunyonyi. Explore the artistic work of nature with a blend of terraced farmland. Visit the Akampene Punishment Island and the Batwa Community. Return to Eco Lodge and relax for the rest of the day.
