DAY ONE: DRIVE TO BWINDI

Very early in the morning after breakfast, you will set off for Bwindi Impenetrable National Park. Have a photo stopover at the Equator and have lunch in Mbarara. On your way you will enjoy scenic views of the Kigezi highlands which will remind you of the movie “sound of music”. We shall arrive at the lodge in Rushaga, the southern part of Bwindi Impenetrable Forest. Check in at the lodge and relax preparing for your gorilla trek the following day.

DAY TWO: MOUNTAIN GORILLA TREKKING

This is a once in a lifetime experience and on this day, we shall head to the park offices for gorilla tracking registration, briefing, and entertainment. We shall trek and penetrate the impenetrable forest and this journey can take us a few hours to a full day experience depending on what nature decides and it’s for this reason that you will take packed lunch boxes. Meeting the gentle giants especially looking in their eyes of the adult females makes one awestruck at how we are so closely related to the gorillas. We shall spend about an hour with the gorillas as they go through their daily activities and then head back at the lodge to enjoy our photos as we meditate about our experience.

Bwindi is home to more than 20 Albertine rift endemics and on your way to see the gorillas, you may land on some of them especially birds like the Handsome Francolin, Regal Sunbird, Bar-tailed Trogon, Strange Weaver, Purple-breasted Sunbird, Rwenzori Batis and Turaco among many others. Other mammals include; African Elephant, Rwenzori Duiker, L’hoest, Blue, Vervet and Red-tailed Monkeys, Olive Baboon, Mantled Guereza Colobus Monkey, Giant Forest Hog, Common Chimpanzee as well as the beautiful Rwenzori Three-horned Chameleon.

DAY THREE: GOMESI WEAR BATWA CULTURAL TRAIL

Wake up to a leisurely breakfast and then have our memorable gomesi wear class, this activity will have a lot of funny photo poses and video making while you are wearing your gomesi, We will share with you the history and lifestyle of the Gomesi for women in Uganda. Ofcourse you will go back with the gomesi as a gift from the company.

 

After our Gomesi photo shoot prepare for yet another adventure around the park as you visit the indigenous natives-the Batwa. They have lived their entire lives to current generations by hunting and gathering in the forest. The visit to the Batwa invariably involves songs and a dance demonstration, and once the music begins you can’t help but notice that they project a genuine pride in themselves. You shall then return to the lodge for lunch. Immediately after lunch we shall  Proceed to Lake Bunyonyi, checkin to our lodge and go for a boat ride. The views are amazing get ready to enjoy the stories about the lake with an outstanding story of the purnishment island.

This is Uganda’s smallest savanna park with a habitat exactly like that of northern Tanzania dominated by Savanna woodlands and it gets the name from one of the many lakes here called Mburo which has interesting cultural stories on how it was created.
