3 Days Uganda Gorilla Trekking in Bwindi

This tour will take you through Queen Elizabeth National Park, with a variety of different species of mammals and birds, and the famous Kazinga Channel for boat cruising. Queen Elizabeth National Park is definitely among the world’s most bio-diversified wildlife sanctuaries featuring leopards, chimpanzees, hippos, African elephants, and Cape Buffaloes, not forgetting the beautiful lunch cruise along the Kazinga Channel.

Best Time To Visit – Uganda

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.

Is it safe to travel to Uganda?

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.

Spending just one hour with these gentle giants can profoundly change your perspective on life. This 3-Day Gorilla Trekking Safari begins and ends in Entebbe/Kampala.

Day 1: Transfer to Bwindi for the Gorilla Trekking Tour

You will be picked up from Entebbe or Kampala on the first day. The drive to Bwindi Impenetrable Forest National Park in southwestern Uganda takes about 8 to 9 hours.

Keep your camera handy; your driver will gladly stop for you to capture memorable moments.
