Day to Day Itinerary
Day 1: Arrive Entebbe & Overnight
You’ll arrive in Entebbe today from your international flights and after you’ve cleared customs and immigration, you are met by your driver at international arrivals. They will be holding a welcome sign with your names on it.
You are then driven to your luxury hotel in Entebbe where you’ll stay for 1 night on a bed and breakfast basis.
Day 2: Fly to Kihihi & Transfer to your Bwindi Lodge
This morning you are driven back to the airport to catch the first flight on Aerolink down to Kihihi.
Enjoy this incredible flight taking you low over Uganda and offering stunning views of the amazing landscapes beneath you.
You will arrive in Kihihi before midday and you will be met by your driver who will drive you though to Buhoma Lodge, which is a journey of around 2 hours.
Your stay is at Buhoma Lodge for the next 2 nights is on a full board basis. This afternoon is free to spend at leisure, relax or perhaps take part in optional activities (at additional cost) including forest walks, birdwatching and village walks.
Day 3: Gorilla Trekking
Today is the big day itself. Prepare yourself for an encounter with one of Bwindi’s gentle giants: the endangered mountain gorilla.
Bwindi Impenetrable Forest boasts both mountain gorillas and chimpanzees—the only forest in Africa which can make this claim. It also hosts five other species of primate, 113 species of mammal, over 200 butterflies and 360 birds.
The gorillas you track belong to one of nine habituated family groups who can tolerate the presence of humans for a brief period every day.
The time taken to track the gorillas can be as few as 2 hours to as many as 7 hours. Once the gorillas have been located, your group will be allowed a maximum of one hour with them. Coming face-to-face with a mountain gorilla is a truly humbling and emotional experience. This is a fantastic and privileged opportunity to get up close and personal with Uganda’s very own ‘Gorillas in the Mist’.
Return to the lodge this afternoon where you can relax in the beautiful scenery.
Day 4: Fly to Entebbe & Depart
Today after breakfast, you will be driven the approximate 2 hours back to Kihihi Airstrip to catch your return flight to Entebbe. You’ll fly to Entebbe for your onwards flight arrangements.
