3-Day Gorilla Trekking Experience in Uganda
The 3-day gorilla trekking tour starts and ends in Kampala or Entebbe, taking you to Bwindi Impenetrable National Park in southwestern Uganda, home to nearly half of the world’s remaining mountain gorillas. The journey from Kampala or Entebbe to Bwindi takes approximately 8–10 hours by road, depending on the trekking sector and road conditions.
For travelers looking for a shorter and more convenient transfer, the tour can also start and end in Kigali, Rwanda. Kigali is much closer to Bwindi, with the journey to the Ugandan border and onward to the park taking approximately 4–6 hours, depending on the chosen Bwindi sector and border-crossing procedures. This makes the Kigali option ideal for travelers combining Rwanda and Uganda or arriving through Kigali International Airport.
Whichever starting point you choose, Tukumbe Tours will organize the transportation, accommodation, gorilla trekking permit, professional guide, and other safari arrangements to ensure a smooth and memorable gorilla trekking experience.
