Day-by-day itinerary

What the operator has planned, day by day, across 3 days.

1. Day 1

   Pickup and transfer to Bwindi

   A Kori Safaris driver collects the guest from Kampala or from Entebbe International Airport and starts the long drive southwest. There is a photo stop at the equator crossing and further stops for the countryside as the road climbs into the Kigezi hills and runs down through the Kisoro valleys. Arrival on the southern side of Bwindi Impenetrable National Park is in the late afternoon, in time to check in, eat and rest before an early start.

2. Day 2

   Gorilla habituation experience

   An early breakfast comes before the briefing at the park offices on how the habituation experience differs from ordinary tracking. The walk into the forest is made in the company of rangers, trackers and researchers, and takes as long as it takes to reach the family. Kori sets the time spent with the gorillas at four hours rather than the usual one, which is long enough to watch the group feed, rest and move, to hear the calls the trackers use, and to see how the researchers do their own work. The party returns to the lodge afterwards for dinner and a second night.

3. Day 3

   Return to Entebbe or Kampala

   After an early breakfast the drive back north begins, with lunch on the road and another stop at the equator crossing. The guest is dropped at Entebbe International Airport or at a chosen address in Kampala.
