Lake Bunyonyi & Gorilla Experience

For international visitors: Arrive at Entebbe International Airport, where our team will greet you warmly. Begin your journey with a scenic drive through Uganda’s beautiful landscapes, passing through rolling hills and green valleys, until you reach Lake Bunyonyi, one of Africa's most picturesque and deepest lakes. For local travelers: Depart from your location in Uganda and enjoy the same scenic journey to Lake Bunyonyi. Upon arrival, check into your lakeside lodge and unwind as you take in the breathtaking views.

Spend the day exploring Lake Bunyonyi, often referred to as the “place of many little birds.” Take a peaceful canoeing trip to discover the lake’s serene waters and visit its iconic islands, each with its own unique story and history. Enjoy birdwatching and learn about the local communities living around the lake.

Engage in a guided cultural tour of the surrounding villages to learn about the traditions and lifestyles of the Bakiga and Batwa communities. Participate in local crafts, dances, or storytelling sessions. Spend the afternoon relaxing by the lake or swimming in its bilharzia-free waters.

After breakfast, take a scenic drive to Bwindi Impenetrable Forest National Park, known for its dense jungle and diverse wildlife. Arrive at your lodge near the park, settle in, and prepare for the extraordinary gorilla trekking experience ahead.

Begin your day with an exhilarating trek into the dense forest, guided by experienced rangers, to meet the endangered mountain gorillas. Spend an hour observing and learning about their behavior as they go about their daily lives in their natural habitat. Afterward, return to your lodge to relax and reflect on this unforgettable experience.

Dedicate the day to exploring Bwindi’s rich biodiversity. Go birdwatching to spot rare species like the African green broadbill, or take guided nature walks to discover the forest’s exotic flora and fauna. In the evening, enjoy the tranquility of your lodge.

For international visitors: After breakfast, drive back to Entebbe or Kampala to catch your return flight, cherishing the magical memories of Lake Bunyonyi and the gorilla experience. For local travelers: Embark on your journey back to your location in Uganda, reminiscing about the breathtaking beauty and unique experiences of the trip.
