Gorilla trekking Bwindi Forest and transfer to Lake Bunyonyi for relaxation.
Bwindi Impenetrable National Park - You will enter the Bwindi Forest for your adventure. The beauty of this rain forest is spectacular! The area offers dramatic steeply forested landscape and is incredibly dense but crisscrossed by numerous animal trails allowing access to tourists. The time taken and the terrain vary with the movements of these great primates. Once you have located a gorilla group, you will be allowed an hour in their presence. The thrill of spending time observing these gentle but endangered giants is unforgettable.
Lake Bunyonyi - After the gorilla trek, we head to Lake Bunyonyi. The lake is framed by lush, green-terraced hills that reach a height of (2,200
- 2,478m) but it’s the 29 islands of various shapes and sizes scattered across the water that make it most magical
- you could admire them all day.
Depart Lake Bunyonyi and return to Entebbe Airport to catch flight.
Uganda Equator - Expect en route lunch and a stop at the Uganda Equator line mark in Kayabwe for some memorable photos and maybe buying some art pieces of interest. Proceed with the journey arriving late afternoon/evening for drop off at the airport to catch your flight back home (recommended for 19:00 onwards).

UGANDA - Have cash on you as not all facilities have working EFTPOS machines.
Tipping is widely used. From the porters/guides to the trackers and hotels/ staff. Have cash on you to place in the tipping boxes located in most of the lobbies.
Take gloves for the gorilla trek as you will probably be reaching to hold onto tree limbs and various vegetation.
Also gaiters or long socks to tuck your long pants into.. you will probably be scratched by the vegetation.
Home to Africa had absolutely everything in hand and made our experiences in Uganda unique and informative. We absolutely loved all of it.
Eli, our esteemed driver/guide was a pure delight. Easy going, and happy to explain things as we went. Even stopped at great coffee spots to fulfill my coffee addiction!
All in all we are already thinking of a return visit to this amazing country! Uganda won us over, big time!
Thanks to all the team who put this together for us.

I will do it again. - Our adventure in Uganda was nothing short of magical! Derick Remember, our guide, made every moment memorable. It was stunning, from the scenic drives through Uganda’s landscapes to the welcoming villages and towns.
The highlight; Trekking through Bwindi Forest, harvesting some wild fruits, and coming face-to-face with majestic gorillas. It was surreal, emotional, and something we'll never forget! Though I didn't expect it to be such a long walk, it was fulfilling.
Comfortable lodges, delicious local food, and flawless planning by our travel guide made this trip perfect. If you're looking for an adventure that will leave you in awe, this is it! Thank you, Derick and the Ronick staff for this unforgettable experience!

Short but sweet 3 day tour, giving you the best of Uganda! - The trip started wonderful the second that Eli with Home 2 Africa picked us up, and never stopped being wonderful! Due to the amount of distance between Entebbe and Bwindi, we had a ton of driving, which we knew while booking, but Eli made sure to stop and show us everything he could along the way, breaking up the drive and giving us such an amazing experience! The gorilla trekking was better than I could have dreamed of, the accommodations were beautiful, clean and welcoming, the scenery stunning, and I can only hope to be able to do this entire trip again some day!
Thank you Eli and Home 2 Africa!

4-Day Trek - We cannot recommend Home to Africa enough! The company was extremely accommodating, allowing us to start our trek in Kigali and end in Kampala. They even combined the 5-day and 3-day safaris to give us a perfect 4-day itinerary. The gorilla trek was a once in a lifetime experience, the game drive and boat tour around Queen Elizabeth National Park was beautiful but it was our tour guide Rolland who absolutely made the trip for us. He was extremely knowledgeable, very helpful and most importantly, he was great fun!

Best experience ever with the best guide ever. - This is my second safari like trip this year. One in Tanzania and this one in Uganda and I have learned that so much of the time experience relies on your guide. Roland from Home to Africa was one of a kind in terms of making sure we got the most out of our experience. We had an incredible time witnessing the beautiful gorillas and extended our trip to visit Queen Elizabeth National Park.
Once in a life time experience. Huge thank you to Roland and the Home to Africa team for making it so special for us.

So glad we used Home to Africa! - 4 nights 5 days and one Gorilla trekking experience. We had a great time. Our drivers both in Rwanda and in Uganda were excellent. Scodious, our driver in Uganda was very fun to travel with. She made the great trip even better. I know there are a ton of travel companies to choose from. Home to Africa is one I would for sure use again. They always answered any questions i had quickly and were very easy to deal with. They picked lodges with i our budget and we had no complaints at all.

A true adventure in the Pearl of Africa - The best company to visit Uganda! I booked the Gorilla trek with them, payment was done online by card and communication was very efficient! The entire experience was very well planned and stress free!
I had a fantastic time with my guide Zedius. Professional, punctual and the best drive to navigate some tough terrain! My accommodations were spectacular: comfortable, clean, excellent staff and food. As a single female I felt completely safe and very well taken care! I can’t recommend this company enough to anyone coming to East Africa and I am sure they will be the ones that I will choose when I come to Rwanda!

A trip to never forget - What an amazing trip. Uganda is a beautiful country, the trip was short but very diverse – from flat dry land, to rich forests and mountains. Which made it a wonderful adventure. Our guides Derrick, Danny and Balam showed us around perfectly and were such great company. The accommodations were very special and everything was thought off. It was very special to visit the Gorilla's and see so many different beautiful animals during the safari. A trip to never forget.
