The tour includes a permit to see the gorillas and offers one of the rare opportunities to observe these animals in the wild. Over the course of 72 hours, participants stay two nights with meals provided, including breakfast, lunch, and dinner. A canoe ride on Lake Bunyonyi is part of the itinerary, along with a visit to the Batwa community. Transport is arranged in a 4x4 vehicle, and an English-speaking safari guide leads the group. Drinking water is supplied during travel.
On your arrival at Entebbe international airport (EBB), you will be met by a Dav safaris staff that will brief you. This is a long day drive of approximately 7 hours with lunch stop over en route. Though long, the drive takes you through different features to include tropical rain forests, savannah fields and the terraced hills of Kigezi famously known as the Switzerland of East Africa. Upon arrival in Bwindi we shall check in at the lodge and proceed to the Batwa community for the cultural adventure about these forest pygmies. You will spend the rest of day at leisure as you wait for the next day’s adventure. Meal Plan: Lunch and Dinner
