Our representative will pick you up in Kigali (an optional Kigali city tour or Genocide Memorial Visit can be arranged) and drive to Bwindi National Park. The drive to Uganda will go through Rwanda's northern town of Ruhengeri. You will then cross over into Uganda via Cyanika or Katuna border post. The trip continues through the nearby Kisoro or Kabale town and finally to Bwindi national park. The journey from Kigali to Bwindi National Park will take approximately 5 hrs. Arriving at Bwindi national park early afternoon will allow you to do optional activities such as hiking, visiting the Batwa community, coffee-making experience, etc. 

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 a presentation that covers 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 from a few to many hours, depending on how far the gorillas are inside the forest.
