Kigali to Bwindi and back
The journey to Bwindi typically begins at 3:00 am with a drive northward through the Katuna border point, passing through Kabale town in Uganda, to the southern part of Bwindi Impenetrable National Park — approximately 4 hours from Kigali. You will cross the borders of Katuna or Cyanika, arriving at the park headquarters for briefing and guidelines to follow while in the jungle. After briefing, you will be divided into groups of 8 or less (depending on the season) to go into the bush to look for mountain gorillas. Depending on where these endangered animals are, this could take several hours. Upon meeting the mountain gorillas, one hour is offered for interaction — you will be able to take photos and see the animals feed and play. You will then walk back to the park headquarters to meet your driver guide, have lunch and head back to Kigali, which marks the end of your safari.
