3 Days Combo (Uganda-Rwanda)
Planned Itinerary
Transfer to Bwindi impenetrable forest (Ultimate Gorilla experience)
The Bwindi Impenetrable National Park is a biodiverse, mountainous area in southwest Uganda. It’s home to many of the world’s remaining mountain gorillas, who feed on roots, leaves and fruits from the park’s many tree and fern species. Restricted numbers of viewing permits help protect the endangered gorilla families. In the park, rough paths weave amid dense forests, which are home to many butterflies and birds.
Gorilla Trekking
After an early breakfast, you will be accompanied by the guide to the park headquarter for the briefing then you will go for gorilla trekking. And later return to Kigali and connect to Akagera National Park. For meals and accommodation at Ruzizi tented lodge.
Game Drive in Akagera National Park
Its named for a Akagera river that flows along the eastern boundary and feeds into a labyrinth of lakes. Rolling hills of Acacia bush with panoramic views across scattered grassland, patches of thick forest and mosaic of swamp -fringed lakes along the meandering Akagera watercourse contribute to this park’s almost unrivalled diversity and scenic beauty. After breakfast, you will head for a full safari from the southern to the northern part of the park and later a drive back to Kigali for your flight at 8pm.
What to Carry
- Your passports With a minimum of 150$ per person to offer to visa immigration at the border, the trackers, porters, staff at the park, or pay for any other item if you want.
- Definitely wear proper walking boots, one guy on our trip wore trainers and, on the mountain, could hardly stand up. Where the gorillas flatten the bushes and ferns it is very slippy to walk on.
- Wear long trousers and gaiters.
- You will be walking through dense bush in places and don’t want scratches or creepy crawlies up your legs Wear long sleeves
- Enough water Take a sweatshirt as it can be cold on the mountain Take a good pair of gloves .
