3 Day Bwindi Gorilla Tracking Safari
Welcome to Leone Tours and Travel, We are glad your here!
This 3-day safari takes you deep into the heart of Bwindi Impenetrable National Park in southwestern Uganda—home to nearly half the world’s remaining mountain gorillas. Along the way, enjoy stunning scenery, cultural experiences, and the unforgettable magic of standing just feet away from a family of wild gorillas.
Day 1: Transfer to Bwindi Impenetrable National Park – Through the Hills of Uganda
Your adventure begins after breakfast when your dedicated guide picks you up from Entebbe or Kampala. Settle into your private safari vehicle and begin your journey southwest toward Bwindi Impenetrable Forest.
Along the way, you’ll make a memorable stop at the Equator, where you can take fun photos and even try the classic water swirl experiment that demonstrates the Earth’s hemispheres. Then, continue through Masaka and stop in Mbarara for a delicious local lunch.
As you drive on, watch the landscapes transform into lush green hills dotted with banana plantations, tea estates, and traditional homesteads. Arrive at your eco-lodge nestled on the edge of the forest in time to relax, listen to the calls of jungle birds, and enjoy dinner surrounded by nature.
Overnight: Broadbill Forest Camp (or similar)
Meals: Breakfast, Lunch, Dinner
Day 2: Gorilla Trekking – A Life-Changing Encounter
Wake up early to the sounds of the forest and enjoy a hearty breakfast before heading to the park headquarters for a 7:45 am briefing. Here, you’ll be grouped with other trekkers and assigned an experienced guide who will lead you into the dense jungle in search of a habituated gorilla family.
The trek can last anywhere from 30 minutes to several hours, depending on where the gorillas are that day. The terrain is rugged and steep, but the experience is absolutely worth it. As you approach the gorilla family, all fatigue fades away—your first glimpse of a silverback or a playful juvenile is truly surreal.
You’ll spend a magical hour quietly observing the gorillas in their natural habitat: watching them groom, feed, nap, or even make eye contact with you. It’s emotional, raw, and unforgettable.
After the trek, return to the lodge for a well-earned rest. Spend your evening at leisure, maybe sharing stories with fellow travelers over dinner.
Overnight: Broadbill Forest Camp (or similar)

Day 3: Return to Entebbe or Kampala – Farewell Uganda
After an early breakfast, begin your journey back to Kampala or Entebbe, reflecting on the incredible experience you’ve had. Your guide will make comfort stops along the way, including lunch at a local restaurant.
Depending on your departure schedule, you’ll be dropped at Entebbe International Airport or your hotel, in time for your evening flight or onward travels.
This marks the end of your unforgettable 3-day gorilla tracking safari in Bwindi—a truly soul-stirring wildlife experience.
