Itinerary Details

Day-by-Day


Day 1 Start your 3-Day Uganda Gorilla habituation experience safari

You will be picked up by a Gorilla Pathfinders driver guide to start your 3-day gorilla habituation experience safari tour to Bwindi Impenetrable National Park. Our safaris normally start very early in the morning with stops at the Equator crossing for photography and a lunch break in Mbarara town. You will then proceed to the southern part of Bwindi Impenetrable National Park because this is where the gorilla habituation experience is currently taking place. This journey is very scenic as you have an opportunity to see the Kigezi rolling hills and valleys as you travel to Kisoro or the southern part of Bwindi Impenetrable National Park. You will arrive late afternoon for Dinner and Overnight.
