This impressive safari adventure takes you gorilla trekking south west of Uganda’s capital – Kampala. You shall have a whole day drive to the gorilla land as you traverse the beautiful sceneries of the Kigezi just before arriving in the Bwindi ecosystem. Bwindi Impenetrable Forest national park is part of the Virunga ranges of mountains, which consists of three volcanoes: Muhavura, Gahinga and Sabinyo, and is very close to Rwanda’s Volcanoes National Park and Congo’s Virunga National Park.
After a satisfying gorilla trekking adventure, you shall transfer to an evening of relaxation on the profound Lake Bunyonyi as you explore the beautiful lake of 29 islands. This is the land of birds – so take heed to be amazed.

As you kick start your gorilla adventure, today upon your arrival in Entebbe, our driver-guide will pick you up from the airport or hotel in Kampala/Entebbe and immediately after a short briefing, you shall head for a whole day drive towards the Kigezi land. You shall head south-west of Uganda, passing through Masaka, Lyantonde, Mbarara and Kabale before reaching Kisoro.
There shall be simple breaks like at the Uganda Equator where you get to engage in the Equator experience and then proceed to Mbarara for lunch. After lunch, we will begin our journey to Kigezi Plateau. A winding drive through rolling hills with stunning terraces that connect you to Kabale before finally reaching Kisoro. Proceed to check in for relaxation, diner and overnight.
After an early breakfast, your driver will take you to the parks headquarters where you will be briefed on the details of gorilla trekking. After registrations and a simple entertainment from the local women, you shall then start your track to the jungle in search of the mountain gorillas.
After locating the gentle giants, you shall spend an hour close to them as you observe them play, relate and feed. Take as may pictures as you want and ask as much questions as you need before returning to the gorilla trekking starting point to collect your trekking certificate after which you proceed for an evening relaxation boat trip in Lake Bunyonyi.
If you prefer, you may opt for an evening in Bwindi. This means after gorilla trekking, you shall engage in an exciting Batwa cultural encounter where you shall learn more about how the Batwa live their lives, how they make fire from cow-dung and much more. This is also an exciting experience you shall love.
After breakfast, depart for Kampala, stopping for lunch along the way. If your departure flight is late at night, your driver/guide will drop you at the airport or if you prefer to be dropped off at your hotel, no worries. We shall bid you farewell as you return back home. Thank you for choosing Friendly Gorilla Safari

It was a solo yet memory filled experience right from my first inquiry to the last day of the trip. Everything was smooth. My tour guide Eddie was beyond friendly and had an eagles eye for even the smallest animals.
The most memorable moment was my first sight of the mighty Gorillas in Bwindi.
I highly appreciate and recommend friendly Gorillas safari
Excellent organization considering that Tony managed to plan the entire tour, permits for gorillas and chimpanzees included, just one day before departure. This is not taken for granted since the tour operator we had contacted months earlier canceled our trip 3 days before departure!
Our driver Tony, who also served as our guide, was always caring and attentive to our needs. Uganda is a country full of natural wonders, and being able to enjoy it peacefully with the right quality-price ratio allows for a full experience of all the activities
Cannot recommend this company enough!!! Anthony and Brenda are fantastic and worked with us to ensure we had the trip of a lifetime. All expectations were not only met, but greatly exceeded! From our exhilarating itinerary to the memorable accommodations, every part of the experience was extraordinary.
All the activities including river rafting, game drives, gorilla/chimp/rhino treks and boat rides were spectacular, with stunning views and incredible wildlife sightings, and the food was fantastic throughout. Accommodations were wonderfully planned, and each place we stayed offered something different, but all were so lovely. The warmth and hospitality from everyone we met in Uganda is indescribable. What truly made this trip special, though, was our guide, Eddie. He was knowledgeable, professional, passionate, joyful, and also so attentive to our group’s needs.
We could not have asked for a better driver/guide – he went above and beyond to ensure we had a life-changing adventure every step of the way while simultaneously feeling like a member of the family. It was clear he genuinely cared about making sure we had the BEST time possible. This was more than a vacation – it was an adventure I’ll never forget, and I’m still majorly struggling with post-Uganda depression! Thank you Anthony, Brenda and Eddie for the most unforgettable experience ever. We miss you all!
From the planning stages to the first meet and greet, Anthony, Brenda and their team went above and beyond to ensure we had the trip of a lifetime! Friendly Gorilla Safaris gave us everything we asked for while keeping in mind our mid-range budget.
They are excellent with communication, professional, patient, and were able to answer all our questions. Our itinerary was amazing with river rafting, game drives, chimp trek and of course the gorilla trek. Accommodations were great, food delicious and Eddie our driver/guide was fantastic! Highly recommend this company.
we had the most amazing time in Uganda accompanied by our very Friendly tour guide Elias.
The support team that handled tour preparations were very kind and responded to every question we had in time. Bliss even went an extra mile to give us a video call during some of the sessions.
We were very lucky to see the rare tree climbing lions in the Ishasha sector or Queen Elizabeth while exiting for Bwindi.
I highly recommend this company because they met all our expectations and even delivered more than we imagined.
We had such a great time on our 2 day / 1 night Safari tour to Akegara National Park in Rwanda. Jado was our AMAZING tour guide who made sure we were cared for and had everything we needed during our time!
Prior to the trip, I had seamless communication with the Safari group who helped figure out exactly what Safari tour I wanted (1 day or more). They sent an example schedule as well as several lodging options. We ultimately chose the “budget” option which was the Rhino Lodge — it did not feel budget at all! It was GORGEOUS and the food was amazing. We even asked if we could adjust the schedule and they were more than happy to accommodate.
We had a fabulous time traveling to the park with Jado, getting settled and eating at the Rhino Lodge, participating in a half day safari that also included a water tour where we saw Rhinos, Crocodiles, Buffalos… and lots of birds! As soon as we drove into the park we saw an elephant and as we were leaving we saw Baboons. We slept and ate well and then the adventure began early the next day, where we had a full day of Safari through the park. We were able to see more Buffalos, impala, Baboons, Giraffes, rhinos, zebras, warthogs and even a rogue hippo wandering around on land. We unfortunately did not see any big cats (leopards or lions) but Jado certainly tried his best to find them.
Once we paid the initial fee prior to the tour, everything was included. This was an amazing trip, we felt very safe, and I would absolutely book again with this company. Thank you guys so much for being so great and easy!!!
