Days 2-3: Transfer to Bwindi Impenetrable National Park

Upon arrival, enjoy a scenic transfer to Buhoma Lodge, a charming property boasting breathtaking views of the Bwindi Impenetrable Forest National Park, home to the rare mountain gorilla. As one of only two lodges located within the national park, Buhoma Lodge is just a short walk from the gorilla tracking meeting point.

The lodge features a cozy central area complete with a lounge, bar, and dining space, perfect for discussing the day’s adventures around the fireplace in the cool evenings. While sightings of mountain gorillas cannot be guaranteed, the success rates are over 90%. Once you encounter these magnificent creatures, you’ll have an unforgettable hour with them. Due to early morning tracking, staying overnight in Bwindi is essential, and a second night is highly recommended to maximize your experience. Over the next two days, you’ll have the chance to embark on two gorilla treks (with prior booking). Additional activities include forest walks, visits to local schools or orphanages, and exploring the Batwa pygmy village.
