3-Day Gorilla Tracking & Lake Bunyonyi Tour
Day 1: Kampala to Lake Bunyonyi
Start your 3-day adventure by departing from Kampala, the capital city of Uganda. After an early morning breakfast, embark on a scenic drive towards Lake Bunyonyi, located in southwestern Uganda. The journey will take you through beautiful landscapes, traditional villages, and rolling hills.
Upon arrival at Lake Bunyonyi, check into your accommodation and take some time to relax and enjoy the stunning views of the lake. Lake Bunyonyi is known for its breathtaking beauty and is often referred to as the "Switzerland of Africa."
Day 2: Gorilla Tracking in Bwindi National Park
Wake up early and have a hearty breakfast before heading to Bwindi Impenetrable National Park. This park is home to almost half of the world's remaining population of mountain gorillas, making it a must-visit destination for wildlife enthusiasts.
Upon reaching Bwindi National Park, you will undergo a briefing by experienced trackers who will provide you with essential information and guidelines for the gorilla tracking experience. Once briefed, set off on an exhilarating trek through the dense forest in search of these magnificent creatures.
The duration of the trek can vary, ranging from a few hours to a full day, depending on the gorilla family's location. Once you find the gorillas, you will spend a magical hour observing and photographing them in their natural habitat.
After the gorilla trek, return to your accommodation and relax, relishing the incredible memories of this once-in-a-lifetime experience.
Day 3: Lake Bunyonyi Exploration and Return to Kampala
On your last day, take the opportunity to explore the scenic wonders of Lake Bunyonyi. This lake is renowned for its 29 islands, each with its own unique charm. You can choose to take a boat ride to explore the islands, go bird watching, swim in the lake's refreshing waters, or simply relax on the lakeshore.
After enjoying your time at Lake Bunyonyi, bid farewell to this enchanting place and begin your journey back to Kampala. The return trip will once again offer you the chance to admire the natural beauty of Uganda as you pass through verdant landscapes and rural villages.
Arrive back in Kampala in the evening, where your 3-day gorilla tracking and Lake Bunyonyi adventure comes to an end.
