Detailed 4-Day Bwindi Gorillas & Lake Bunyonyi Tour Itinerary
Day 1 – Transfer to Bwindi Impenetrable National Park
On the first day of your 4-day gorilla trekking honeymoon safari, our tour guide will pick you up from your hotel and begin the journey to Bwindi.
You’ll stop at the Equator for coffee and photography—a memorable experience.
The Equator separates the Northern and Southern Hemispheres, so visiting this spot is like being at the center of the Earth.
Feel free to take photos with each foot on a different hemisphere.
You will have lunch en route in Mbarara before proceeding to Bwindi, where you’ll arrive in the evening, have dinner, and rest in preparation for the breathtaking activity the following day.
Day 2 – Gorilla Trekking and Transfer to Lake Bunyonyi
On the second day of your 4-day gorilla trekking tour, you’ll trek the Mountain Gorillas of Bwindi.
After an early breakfast, you’ll attend the 7:30 AM pre-briefing meeting before venturing into the forest to find the gorillas.
The trek will take between 2 and 8 hours, depending on how long it takes to locate the primates, including one full hour of close interaction with these gentle giants.
After the trek, you will return to the lodge for lunch and later transfer to Lake Bunyonyi.
Day 3 – Full Day at Lake Bunyonyi
On the third day of your 4-day gorilla trekking tour, you’ll spend the entire day relaxing while enjoying the beautiful views of Lake Bunyonyi.
You can engage in activities such as canoeing, community visits, and a visit to the Punishment Island, where you’ll learn about its history.
This island was where girls who engaged in premarital intercourse were abandoned without food or water.
If no man came to rescue them, they would perish; however, if a man took the risk to save her, he would get a wife for free.
Day 4 – Transfer to Kampala and Departure
This is the last day of your 4-day gorilla trekking tour.
Considering the distance between Bwindi and Kampala, you will need to depart early to catch your return flight on time.
Upon reaching Kampala, you’ll either be transferred to a hotel of your choice or dropped off at the airport for your return flight.
