3 Day Kalinzu Forest Chimps And Gorilla Trekking Safari

We will pick you up at Kigali airport or downtown Kigali and drive to Queen Elizabeth National Park in southwestern Uganda. Join the Kazinga channel boat trip in the afternoon. After the boat trip, check-n at the guest house.

After early breakfast, we will drive to the Kalinzu forest to trek the chimpanzees in their forest home. If you are lucky on the trek, you might encounter other different species of monkeys in the Kalinzu forest. These include colobus monkeys, olive baboons, and red-tailed monkeys. Transfer to Bwindi National Park after the chimp trek. The drive to Bwindi National Park will go through the Bushenyi-Ntungamo-Kabale highway.

You will head to the Bwindi National Park gate immediately after breakfast to get a briefing about the gorilla trek. The national park guide will conduct the presentation covering the basics of what to expect during the gorilla trek. The national guide will assign the gorilla trekking group during the pre-trekking briefing. Other visitors will likely join you. The gorilla trek can take a few hours, depending on how far the gorillas are inside the forest.  Transfer to Kigali immediately after the gorilla trek. Please note: given that a gorilla trek can take up to 6hrs do not book a flight departing out of Kigali before 10:00 pm local time, assuming you want to fly out of Kigali on Day 3. The best plan is to have overnight in Kigali at the end of Day 3.
