Upon arrival in Entebbe (either connecting from the MARA or your international arrival) connect to the Bwindi Impenetrable National Park scheduled flight arriving at 1355 hrs. Your private safari guide will pick you up and transfer you to your lodge which will take approx. 1 hour located at an altitude of 2300m. This is the home to half of the world’s remaining mountain gorillas. Nine other primate species are found here too. The name Bwindi Impenetrable is as a result of the landscape i.e. the dense mountain rain forest that developed since the Ice Age and the shrub and bush vegetation provide an ideal habitat for the primates. You will arrive at your accommodation in the afternoon. Rest of the afternoon at leisure in preparation for the trek next morning. Dinner and overnight at BUHOMA LODGE (luxury option) / ENGAGI LODGE (medium range option).
