TOUR ITINERARY

Day 1: transfer from Kampala to Rwanda

Day 2: gorilla tracking in Volcanoes national park 

Early morning start after breakfast to reach Ruhengeri park headquarters for the 7:00 a.m briefing. Proceed to the Gorilla sanctuary to embark on your tracking expedition. If you are lucky it will only take you an hour to locate the habituated gorillas. Under such circumstances you will spend an hour with them and return to your base for a late lunch. However, in other circumstances, tracking can last upto 6 hours. It is therefore advisable, to carry along a picnic lunch and plenty of water. The time spent in the forest depends on the movements of the gorillas. Successful trackers are awarded certificates at the end of this challenging but worthwhile experience. Dinner and overnight at Gorilla Nest Lodge/ Mountain Gorilla View Hotel/Kinigi Guest House/ Muhavura lodge.

Day 3: leave for Bwindi

Day 4: Gorilla tracking in Bwindi

After an early breakfast, report to the park head quarters for briefing. A park official will brief you on gorilla tracking rules necessary for the gorilla and your safety. Tracking time will depend on the movement of the habituated gorillas. Sometimes it takes just an hour to reach the gorillas but at other times even up to 6 hours. It is therefore advisable to carry picnic lunch and plenty of water prior to the tracking. Maximum time you can spend with the gorillas is one hour. In the afternoon you can have an optional guided walk on the Munyaga River trail, which is an ideal short walk. This trail leads to three delightful crystal clear waterfalls, and there is a profusion of tree ferns, epiphytic ferns, orchids and Bwindi's   of butterflies.
