    Day 1: Depart for Bwindi Impenetrable National Park
    Start your 3 Day Gorilla Tracking in Bwindi in the early hours from Kampala after eating breakfast. With your driver guide, drive towards southwestern Uganda, cross the Equator in Mpigi District, then Masaka, Lake Mburo National Park and reach Mbarara town where you will have a lunch break.

    Proceed to Bwindi Impenetrable National Park via Kigezi Highlands as you catch a glimpse of the banana plantations, heads of Ankole cattle, organized gardens and beautiful hills until you reach the gorilla habitat of Bwindi Impenetrable Forest.

    Overnight at Gorilla Safaris Lodge, Gorilla Mist Camp or Nshonji Gorilla Resort.

    Day 2: Gorilla Trekking in Bwindi Impenetrable National Park
    Have your breakfast, get a briefing from the tour guides and go through the greenery and thickets of the impenetrable tropical rainforest to track the Mountain Gorillas. Finding these peaceful and rare endangered apes is an attention-grabbing and marvelous experience.

    After an hour with the giant gorillas, return to the lodge. In the afternoon, have a guided rural community walk to the nearby areas to understand the lives, cultures, traditions and lifestyles of the Ugandans living near the gorilla habitat. A community walk is a step worth its time.

    Overnight at Gorilla Safaris Lodge, Gorilla Mist Camp or Nshonji Gorilla Resort with Full Board.

    Day 3: Drive Back to Kampala
    Have your breakfast and commence your journey back to Kampala. Have lunch en-route in Mbarara Town and then proceed to Kampala.

    You may possibly make another stop at the Uganda Equator for some photo opportunities before continuing to Kampala, where you will arrive in the evening. Your driver guide will transfer you to your accommodation in Kampala or Entebbe area for your overnight or evening departure flight.
