Tour Itinerary

  • Your driver will pick you up from your hotel in Kigali and transfer you to Kisoro, a scenic drive of approximately four hours, including a smooth border crossing into Uganda. An East African Tourist Visa is required, which you can obtain from the first country you enter (Rwanda, Uganda, or Kenya). Enjoy breathtaking views of rolling hills and terraced landscapes—often called the "Switzerland of Africa." You'll arrive in Kisoro by late afternoon, with time to explore the nearby villages on a self-guided walk before dinner and overnight stay.

  • Today’s adventure begins early as you set off for Bwindi Impenetrable National Park, ready for the unforgettable experience of trekking to see the mountain gorillas. This extraordinary wildlife encounter is considered one of the most thrilling on the planet. The trek can take anywhere from two to six hours, depending on the gorillas’ movements, but every step is part of the adventure. Accompanied by an expert ranger, you’ll learn about the region’s unique flora and fauna, as well as the behaviors and social structures of the gorillas. Once you find them, you’ll have one magical hour in their presence. After the trek, you’ll return to the lodge for lunch, freshen up, and check out. Then, you'll drive back to Kigali, where you’ll be dropped off at your hotel.
