Entebbe to Bwindi Drive

After arrival at Entebbe International Airport (EBB), a Dav Safaris staff member will meet and brief the group. The drive to Bwindi takes about 7 hours with a lunch break along the way. The route crosses areas of savannah, tropical rain forest, and the terraced hills of Kigezi, which are often called the Switzerland of East Africa. Upon arrival in Bwindi, guests check into the lodge and then visit the Batwa community to experience the culture of these forest pygmies. The rest of the day is free to rest before the following day's activities. Included meals are lunch and dinner.
