This 2-day gorilla trekking safari through Kigali is meant for people interested in trekking gorillas in the Bwindi Impenetrable Forest from Kigali. It also means that the driving time from Kigali to Bwindi is 4-5 hours compared to driving from Entebbe to Bwindi. While on this safari, one will come face to face with Uganda’s mountain gorillas in Bwindi Impenetrable National Park. Gorilla trekking is one of the highlights of Uganda safaris and will offer a memorable once-in-a-lifetime experience.
Uganda is a safe country to visit, especially when your part of an organized game drive with private guides, as you will be with us. These tours are designed to enhance your safety and provide you with a well-guided experience. There are, of course, some places to avoid in big cities like Kampala or Entebbe. But – as with everywhere else in the world – you’ll be fine by taking some precautions. Just some examples to be on the safe side, pun intended, don’t explore the city at night without a driver or guide, keep your valuables close to you, avoid wearing prominent and visible jewelry, and leave some things like passports in the hotel safe.
The best time to visit Uganda is from June to August and December to February, which are the Dry seasons. Wildlife viewing is at its peak then. Primate walks in the forest are a big part of any safari in Uganda. The habitat of rainforests is, by default, very wet, and you can’t avoid rain completely. However, after heavy rain, the skies often open up to bright sunshine.
This is an exclusive, private safari that allows you to travel at your own pace. This trip is made just for you, exactly as you want it! Our experienced travel consultants, along with our knowledgeable guides, will make sure that your wishes come true. There are numerous advantages to such a trip. First, you can cruise around in a private safari vehicle and have a personal guide. It’s completely up to you what time you leave in the morning and when you come back (taking into account your guide’s advice, of course). Secondly, once you’re in a national park, you can observe specific animals or herds for as long as you like. No one will push you to move along. And lastly, knowing your wishes, your personal guide will give you the right tips, turning your trip into an unforgettable experience in Africa.
Yes, yes, yes! Not only the Big Five pose for your pictures, but also Rhinos, hyenas, hippos, zebras, Giraffes, or the unique Ugandan kob. And then there’s the birdlife-with more than 1,000 species of all kinds and colors, Uganda is a birdwatcher’s paradise. And if you love primates, Uganda clearly is your place to be: the diverse jungles are home to as many as 24 species of monkeys, from the nocturnal to the beautifully colored blue monkeys and the breathtaking mountain gorillas and Chimpanzee in their Natural Habitat.

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. You will then have your lunch away from them in the forest and return to the park offices for a small ceremony. You will then be transferred back to your hotel in Kigali or to the airport for your onward travel.
