This 2 Days Bwindi Gorilla Trekking from Kigali package is the best option for anyone with a dream of seeing Mountain Gorillas in their natural habitat but short on time and with a limited budget.
Considering that a Gorilla permit in Rwanda costs $1,500 and $700 in Uganda, and just 4 hours of driving between Bwindi and Kigali, trekking in Uganda strikes the best balance between cost and time making this 2 days Bwindi Gorilla trek from Kigali ideal.
You are able to fly in and out of Kigali and save a great deal on the Gorilla permit costs.
Day 1: Pick up from Kigali & Transfer to Bwindi
We will pick you up from your hotel in Kigali and transfer to Bwindi impenetrable forest national park crossing into Uganda through Katuna boarder. Pass by Lake Bunyonyi for sightseeing and proceed to Bwindi arriving later in the afternoon.
Overnight: Nkuringo Bwindi Gorilla Lodge
Meals: Half Board
Day 2: Gorilla Trekking & Transfer to Back to Kigali
Breakfast will be served early and lunch will be packed and drive a short distance to the briefing point where the ranger guide will give you highlights of specific details about the way of life of the gorillas you will be tracking. The hike can take anything from 1 to 8 hours.
Trekking through the thick forested hills of Bwindi and then finally coming across the gorillas camouflaged in the vegetation is an inspiring and privileged moment. Once you reach the gorillas, you are allowed to spend one hour with them as you stand 6 meters away.
After the trek, enjoy your lunch packs and receive your Gorilla trekking certificate. Meet your driver / guide and transfer back to Kigali arriving in the evening. Drop off at your hotel or the airport for your onward flight.
