Today, you will be picked met by our Ugandan driver-guide of Mizube Tours from your hotel in Kigali or from Kigali International Airport, depending on what time you arrive at the airport. He will brief you about your safari and then transfer you to Bwindi impenetrable National Park or Mgahinga National Park depending on the availability of gorilla trekking permits. This journey is very scenic and will take you through a country of a thousand hills Rwanda to the pearl of Africa Uganda. You will cross over the border to Uganda through Katuna and make a stopover for lunch in Kabale before proceeding to Bwindi’s Impenetrable forest for an overnight stay.

Today is the day you have been waiting for. After an early breakfast, your driver-guide will transfer you to the starting point for a briefing about the gorilla trekking adventure you are about to take. You will be briefed by experienced ranger guides and trackers from the Uganda Wildlife Authority. Coming face to face with mountain gorillas depends on where they nested the previous night and can take 2-7 hours before you meet them. Gorilla tracking can be physically demanding but the whole experience is amazing and worth it. You will track a habituated family which is comfortable with human presence. Once you meet these beautiful gentle giant gorillas, you will be allowed one hour with them, watching how they interact with their young ones, vocalize, and feed.
