Day wise Itinerary

• Day 1 : Fly in to the Gorillas from Entebbe International Airport

  Welcome to Kigali, Rwanda. Our tour representative and your driver/guide will meet you on arrival at Entebbe International Airport, take you to Aero Link Charter and transfer you to the airstrip at Kihihi, air field for 1hr flight from Entebbe Airport where you’ll be picked by your driver guide and transfer to Queen Elizabeth for a short game drive in Ishasha sector, Ishasha is only one of two places in the world where tree-climbing lions are found, the other being in Lake Manyara. Whilst all lions can climb trees these two prides are the only ones found to spend a majority of their time in trees. Seeing tree-climbing lions is usually a 50/50 chance but we guarantee seeing them as we organize an experience that includes the park tracking system and expert doctor.
  Ishasha is also home to great population of Topis, not found anywhere else in this National Park. On the river you may spot hippos and the Ugandan national bird the Crested Crane.
  Have lunch at Wilderness Camp Lodge before a final game drive and transfer to Bwindi Impenetrable Forest National Park.

• Day 2 : Mountain Gorilla Trek

  Today you have a unique and privileged experience to trek and meet at close quarters the rare Mountain Gorilla. There are only around 1000 of these magnificent creatures left in the world with around 1/3 of those in the Bwindi Impenetrable Forest.
  Early in the morning after breakfast you will be taken to the park headquarters where you will be educated on the trek, Gorilla behavior and assigned into groups of suitable fitness.
  The trek can take between 2-6 hours depending on the movements of the Gorillas. The rangers will lead you deep into the forest in search for the Gorillas. You will move up and down the rugged terrain until you finally meet these harmonious creatures that will entertain you with performances for about 1 hour once you find them. This is often describe as one of the great natural animal encounters on the planet.
  Return to the lodge and have lunch, refresh and enjoy the lodge facilities with the best view of Bwindi Impenetrable Forest National Park.

• Day 3 : Batwa Experience and Driveto Kihihi for Flight Back to Entebbe.

  Have a most enjoyable breakfast regaling your stories and encounter with the Mountain Gorillas. After breakfast we head off to meet the Batwa. The Batwa are the original inhabitants of these forests, however today they are a displaced minority since the early 1990’s. This cultural tour is a re-enactment but a very real one as many members still recall living as forest dwellers and these tours now help them earn income, ensure their traditions and skills are practiced as well as pass on these traditions to the next generation. Their bush skills are a delight and their small stature will amaze. Thought to be an adaptation over thousands of years to living and moving in the thick rainforest conditions.
  After the Batwa we have packed lunch to have on the 2-hour transfer back to Kihihi Airstrip in time to catch your 2:05pm flight back to Entebbe. Arrive Entebbe at 3:55pm where we will meet you and transfer to your connecting flight or hotel.
