Uganda: 4-Day Bwindi Gorillas & Lake Bunyonyi Experience

Track gorillas in Bwindi Impenetrable National Park, relax by Lake Bunyonyi, and explore local villages on a 4-day tour from Kampala. Enjoy scenic drives and a stop at the equator.
Begin your adventure with a scenic drive to Bwindi Impenetrable National Park, passing through lush countryside and traditional homesteads. Stop at the Igongo Cultural Centre for lunch before continuing to your destination.

On the second day, embark on a gorilla-tracking experience. After a pre-briefing at the park office, start your trek into the forest. Spend up to an hour with the gorillas, observing these majestic creatures in their natural habitat.

The next day, choose to go on a guided village walk for a closer experience with the local community. Learn about their way of living as you walk through coffee, tea, and banana plantations. Afterward, depart to Lake Bunyonyi, the deepest lake in Uganda. This area is often called the “little Switzerland of Uganda” and boasts one of the most beautiful parts of the country. Relax or go for a canoe trip while you watch the beautiful sunset.

After the challenging and strenuous hike during the gorilla tracking in Bwindi Impenetrable National Park, some relaxing moments on the shores of this peaceful lake are most welcome. The options here include birding, nature walks, swimming, or canoeing (not included in the tour price).

In the early morning, the last part of the journey will bring you to Entebbe Airport. On the way back after Masaka, there will be an opportunity to stop at the equator to take photos, buy souvenirs, and have lunch.
