3 DAYS GORILLA HABITUATION SAFARI UGANDA

Published: 18 Nov 2024

Day 1: Early morning, after breakfast on the first day of your 3 days Uganda gorilla safari to Bwindi Impenetrable National Park, a professional Uganda tour guide from Wild Jungle Trails will meet you for a transfer to the park. For the almost 550km drive to Bwindi National Park, you are driven on a 4×4 wheel safari vehicle on a fairly tarmacked road along Kampala- Masaka –Mbarara route.
About 80km from Kampala, there will be a stop at the Equator line in Kayabwe for photography and geographical experiments. The equator is the world’s zero latitude line that divides the world into two halves, the northern and southern hemispheres.
Continuing to the southern hemisphere for your Uganda gorilla tour, you have lunch en route at Mbarara town. Driving further to western Uganda, the rolling terraced hills of kigezi highlands and the long horned Ankole cattle are part of what will constitute your scenic drive. On arrival at your preferred accommodation facility, your driver guide ensures check in for dinner and a nights rest at the hotel or lodge.
Drive Time: 8-10 hours
Meal Plan: Lunch and Dinner
Accommodation Options: Luxury: Chameleon Hill Lodge, Midrange: Ichumbi Gorilla Lodge, Budget: Gorilla Valley Lodge


Day 2: On this second day of the trip be ready to have early breakfast and head out to the sector headquarters. You will have a briefing on the gorilla habituation etiquette to ensure you know the dos and don’ts of gorilla habituation since these are wild gorillas not yet fully comfortable with the presence of human beings.
You take the trails to the jungle in search of an identified wild gorilla family where you will spend about 4 hours learning about gorilla behaviours. Researchers and ranger guides will help you learn more about the gorillas. Unlike the usually gorilla trek, for a habituation experience, you will have to get to the forest early and carry along packed lunch as well as enough drinking water. After the trek you return to your lodge for refreshment and dinner.
Meal Plan: Breakfast, Lunch & Dinner
Accommodation Options: Luxury: Chameleon Hill Lodge, Midrange: Ichumbi Gorilla Lodge, Budget: Gorilla Valley Lodge

Day 3: After a beautiful night in the foot hills of the gorilla land, you embark on the road drive back to Kampala or Entebbe International Airport for a departure flight. You will have lunch en route and can purchase any craft materials at several souvenir shops along the way if you wish to. Our Wild Jungle Trails Uganda safari guide ensures you get to your preferred end of 3 days gorilla safari destination safely.Meal Plan: Breakfast & Lunch
