3 Days Uganda Gorillas from Kigali
This 3 Days Uganda Gorillas From Kigali safari will start in Rwanda and involve gorilla trekking in Bwindi. It will then take you to the Ugandan Bwindi Impenetrable National Park, one of the two parks that protect the endangered mountain gorillas. Located in the far southern parts of Uganda, it will take you through different attractions like gorillas, blue monkeys, and maybe beautiful birds like the green broadbill.
The main activity of the tour will be gorilla trekking, which will expose you to the remaining gentle giants for an hour. You will then rest at Lake Bunyonyi. You will cross to Bwindi, Uganda, from Kigali, Rwanda, via the Cyanika/Kyanika border post. There will be an optional tour of Kigali, such as visiting the genocide memorial centre and the local market. Below is the detailed 3-day Uganda Gorillas from Kigali safari itinerary.
Day1. Pick from Kigali and cross to Bwindi National Park
On your arrival at Kigali airport, one of our company drivers will welcome you from your journey, immediately take you through a short briefing about the tour, and then depart to Bwindi Impenetrable National Park in Uganda. Pass the border of Cyanika as you cross to Uganda and enjoy the beautiful scenes of Kabale, a hilly area well known for fertile soils and cereal growing. On your arrival from a 4-hour journey, check in at any of the accommodation facilities near Bwindi NP, have your lunch, and rest for the next day’s activity.
Day2. Gorilla trekking and relaxing at Lake Bunyonyi
Wild animals are always active in the morning. Hence, you will wake up very early in the morning to prepare yourself. Enjoy breakfast, then depart to the park’s ranger stations for check-in and briefing. Start trekking while in the park as soon as the briefing is done. Expect to see many attractive animals like the blue monkeys, elephants, and beautiful birds like the green broadbill.
Trekking will take almost 2-8 hours, and only one hour will be spent in the presence of the gorillas. Once the activity is done, head back to the park offices for check-out. On reaching the lodge, have your hot lunch and organize to go to Lake Bunyonyi for relaxation.
At Lake Bunyonyi, you will be treated to a serene and relaxing environment. Enjoy the scenic view of the lake as you sip on a refreshing fruit juice. Spend a peaceful night at the Bunyonyi Overland Resort, gathering around the fire as you bask in the tranquility of nature.
Day3. Drive back to Kigali and an optional city tour
On the final day of your tour, you will have the opportunity to learn about the rich history of Rwanda. After a leisurely breakfast, your driver guide will take you back to Kigali. You can cross at Katuna, the other border crossing from Uganda to Rwanda. Upon reaching Kigali, opt for an educational visit to the genocide memorial center. This optional activity will give you a deeper understanding of Rwanda’s past. After the city tour, your driver will escort you to the airport for your departure, marking the end of your 3 Days Uganda Gorilla trekking from Kigali safari.
