4 Day Double Gorilla Trekking

4 Days Double Gorilla Trekking in Uganda

The four days Bwindi gorilla trekking will include a double trekking experience. A trip will allow you to trek the gorillas twice to encounter two different gorilla families and probably making friends with some. The same trip takes you to the Batwa pygmies of the forest; an endangered group of people in Uganda. They are simply four days that are worth.

4 Day Uganda Gorilla Safari Highlights

Day 1: Travel to Bwindi impenetrable forest national park

Day 2: 1st Gorilla trekking and Batwa community tour

Day 3: 2nd Gorilla trekking experience, drive to Lake Bunyonyi

Day 4: Travel back to Kampala or Kigali and departure

Day-By-Day Detailed Itinerary

Day 1: Travel to Bwindi impenetrable forest national park

Be picked by our experienced driver-guide from the hotel in Entebbe or Kampala. Have a simple briefing about all the trip movements, and start the journey to Bwindi. It is a nine – ten-hour journey that furnishes you with stunning views of the Kigezi highlands, Virunga ranges and very beautiful scenery. You will have a stopover at the Uganda Equator for photographs and to experience the water experiment that shows how water swirls in the different directions in the opposite hemispheres. Lunch in Mbarara town, arrival will be in the evening for dinner and overnight in preparation for the next big day.

Day 2: Gorilla trekking and Batwa community

Have a very early breakfast at 7 am, head to the park offices to have a simple briefing from the local guide. Here be divided into groups of eight trekkers that are allowed to visit a single gorilla family per day. Enter into the forest and start the hunt for these beautiful creatures. Hike up through the thick forest in slippery trails just to have an encounter with the endangered apes. Spend one magical hour with the forest giants, watching them play from one tree branch to the other, feeding and basically carrying on their daily lives.

In the evening, have a cultural encounter with the Batwa pygmies of the forest, experience how they used to hunt and gather food in the ancient days before they were shifted out of the forest and enjoy the traditional performances. Tasting the local cuisines is a guarantee except if you don’t want.
