You really want to see the mountain gorillas, but are not willing to spend so many hours on the road or you think you do not have enough time? We now have the solution! For those looking to save time, get an excellent view from the clouds, and commune with the gorillas, we have the perfect tour. We combine reliable domestic flight service, ground transfers and comfortable accommodation at Lake Mutanda to make this an unforgettable and hassle-free experience.
Day 1 :
Today you travel from Entebbe Airport to Kisoro in the south-western part of Uganda, close to the borders with Rwanda and Congo.
You have to arrange your own transportation to Entebbe Airport. Make sure you check in 1 hour before your departure time listed on your flight ticket (which we provide).
At Kisoro Airstrip someone from the lodge will be waiting for you, holding a signpost with your name on it. He will transfer you in about 45 minutes to the resort. The resort is overlooking Lake Mutanda and the Virunga volcanoes on the border with Rwanda. You’ll sleep in one of their nice self-contained safari cottages.
From here you depart following day for the gorilla trekking!
Journey Time: 1h20 min flight & 45 min. transfer to lodge
Accommodation: Mutanda Lake Resort
Day 2 :
Today is the big day: prepare yourself for an encounter with one of Bwindi’s gentle giants: the rare Mountain Gorilla. For most people this is the absolute highlight of their tour in Uganda!
Bwindi Impenetrable Forest boasts of both Mountain Gorillas and Chimpanzees – the only forest in Africa which can make this claim. It also hosts five other species of primate, 113 species of mammal, over 200 butterflies and 360 birds.
En route to the gorillas, your guide will point out signs of previous gorilla activity, including dung, nests and chewed bamboo shoots. Your track will be an exciting journey along forested slopes, entwined vines, bushes and bamboo before you eventually reach the gorilla family.
The gorillas you track belong to one of nine habituated family groups who can tolerate the presence of humans for a brief period every day.
The time taken to track the gorillas can be as few as 2 hours to as many as 7 hours. Once the gorillas have been located, your group will be allowed a maximum of one hour with them. Coming face-to-face with a Mountain Gorilla is a truly humbling and emotional experience. This is a fantastic and privileged opportunity to get up close and personal with Uganda’s very own ‘Gorillas in the Mist’.
Journey Time: 1 hr 30 minutes each way to the starting point of Gorilla trekking
Accommodation: Mutanda Lake Resort
Day 3 :
After breakfast you drive back to Kisoro Airstrip, making sure you check in 1 hour before departure time. Your flight back to Entebbe normally takes 2 hours and 30 minutes, but could take longer when Aerolink has more pick-ups on the way than planned.
Journey Time: 45 min. to Kisoro & 2 hours and 30 minutes flight to Entebbe
Accommodation: Not included
