Bwindi Impenetrable National Park is a UNESCO World Heritage Site nestled in the Albertine Rift of southwestern Uganda — home to almost half of the world's remaining mountain gorilla population, estimated at just over 1,000 individuals.
This carefully crafted 3-day experience takes you deep into one of Africa's most ancient and biodiverse rainforests, guided by experienced trackers and Uganda Wildlife Authority rangers. There is no other wildlife encounter quite like coming face-to-face with a silverback gorilla in his natural habitat.
All gorilla permits are arranged by Levine Adventures in advance. The package includes accommodation, meals, park entry, a professional guide, and all ground transfers from Kampala.
Early morning departure from Kampala (approx. 08:00). The scenic 8–9 hour drive takes you through the beautiful Ugandan countryside — rolling hills, tea plantations and small towns. Arrive at your lodge in Buhoma or Ruhija sector in the afternoon. Briefing from your guide over dinner. Overnight at lodge.
This is the day you've been waiting for. After an early breakfast, transfer to park headquarters for a pre-trek briefing. You'll be assigned to a gorilla family group and begin trekking into the forest. The trek can take 1–6 hours depending on where the gorillas are ranging. Once found, you have one full hour with the family — observe, photograph and simply breathe in this extraordinary moment. Return to lodge for a well-earned dinner. Overnight at lodge.
After breakfast, optional nature walk in the forest before departing back to Kampala. Arrive late afternoon/early evening. Drop-off at your hotel or airport for onward travel.
Game drives and Kazinga Channel boat cruises to spot hippos, elephants and the famous tree-climbing lions of Ishasha.
World's highest density of primates. Kibale is the best place on earth to track chimpanzees in their natural rainforest habitat.
Combine your gorilla trek with the greatest wildlife spectacle on earth — the Great Migration across the Mara River.
