On the first day of your 3-day Uganda Gorilla Habituation Safari from Kigali, your guide will pick you up from either your Kigali hotel or Kigali International Airport and provide a briefing on the safari. You’ll then head to a local hotel for lunch before continuing your journey across the Cyanika border into Uganda.
From there, you'll be driven directly to the Rushaga sector in Bwindi Impenetrable National Park, where you can check into your lodge and freshen up. In the evening, embark on a cultural tour of the nearby Batwa communities. Engage with the Batwa, who once lived in the forest before being relocated, and learn about their traditional way of life and their past interactions with the gorillas. Enjoy their performances, explore local crafts, and experience the unique culture. Return to your lodge for dinner and an overnight stay.
