3-Day Bwindi Gorilla Trek – As you might have read before, Uganda harbors over half of the remaining endangered mountain gorillas in the world in its forests of Bwindi.
This 3-Day Bwindi gorilla trek from Entebbe/Kampala will reward you with a short, memorable gorilla trekking encounter with these primates in the impenetrable forests of Bwindi.
If you need an experience with Uganda gorillas that begins from Entebbe or Kampala, this package is for you.
The tour can begin from Kampala or Entebbe depending on where you spend your night.
Please note that the journey from Entebbe to Bwindi Impenetrable National Park is 8 – 9 hours, as opposed to the 4-hour drive from Kigali in Rwanda.
The good side is you will be able to visit the Equator and explore Uganda’s countryside as you drive to Bwindi.
