10-Day Custom Vacation Package -Safari & Gorilla Trekking

Your guide meets you at the arranged starting point before travelling towards Mgahinga Gorilla National Park. The day is planned around the main stops on the route. The plan follows the route agreed with your driver-guide and leaves time for appropriate short breaks. The walk is led by park guides and requires suitable shoes for mountain conditions. The high altitude can make an otherwise moderate climb feel more demanding.

Begin with golden monkey tracking before continuing from Mgahinga Gorilla National Park towards Bwindi Impenetrable National Park. Leave enough time for the onward transfer. Follow trained guides through highland forest and bamboo habitat. The monkeys move quickly, so stay with the group and listen to instructions. The planned night is at Gorilla Mist Camp. Confirm room availability before booking. The journey on day 2 forms part of a 10-day programme, so avoid adding unplanned detours that would reduce time at Bwindi Impenetrable National Park.

Remain in the Bwindi Impenetrable National Park area, where the schedule allows another opportunity for gorilla trekking. After the ranger briefing, enter the forest on foot. The distance to the gorilla group changes with its movements, and the terrain can be steep. Keep drinking water, any personal medicine and a lightweight layer in the vehicle rather than packed deep in your main bag. Allow for changes to road conditions and the timing of park activities, particularly after heavy rain.

The route continues from Bwindi Impenetrable National Park towards Ishasha. Keep the main stops realistic for the distance involved.
