At 4×4 Rent A Car Uganda, we organize affordable, comfortable, and unforgettable Uganda safaris for solo travelers, couples, families, groups, and self drive tourists. Bwindi Impenetrable National Park is one of the most visited national parks in Uganda and is famous for mountain gorilla trekking. The park is home to almost half of the remaining mountain gorillas in the world. Gorilla trekking in Uganda gives travelers a once in a lifetime opportunity to meet these gentle primates in their natural forest habitat. During the trek, visitors walk through thick forests with experienced ranger guides while searching for a gorilla family. After finding the gorillas, travelers spend one hour watching them feed, play, rest, and interact. Lake Mburo National Park is the closest savannah national park to Kampala and Entebbe. The park is known for zebras, giraffes, impalas, buffaloes, elands, hippos, crocodiles, warthogs, and many bird species. Lake Mburo National Park is also the best place in Uganda for walking safaris where travelers can walk near wildlife with armed ranger guides. This park is perfect for travelers looking for a peaceful wildlife experience away from crowded destinations.
Day 1 starts with pick up from Entebbe Airport, Kampala, or your hotel by our professional safari driver guide from 4×4 Rent A Car Uganda. You begin the journey to Bwindi Impenetrable National Park in southwestern Uganda. Along the way, you will stop at the Equator crossing for photos, snacks, and souvenirs. The drive continues through beautiful countryside, rolling hills, tea plantations, local villages, and green landscapes. You will arrive at the lodge near Bwindi in the evening for dinner and overnight stay.
Day 2 is the main gorilla trekking day in Bwindi Forest. After an early breakfast, you will drive to the park headquarters for briefing by Uganda Wildlife Authority ranger guides. You will then enter the forest to search for mountain gorillas. Gorilla trekking can take a few hours depending on where the gorillas are located. Once the gorillas are found, you will spend one full hour with them while taking photos and learning about their behavior. Gorilla trekking in Bwindi is one of the top safari activities in Africa and gives unforgettable memories. After trekking, you return to the lodge for relaxation, dinner, and overnight stay.
Day 3 involves a transfer from Bwindi to Lake Mburo National Park. The journey offers beautiful views of southwestern Uganda including hills, cattle farms, and local communities. You will arrive in Lake Mburo National Park in time for an evening game drive where you may see zebras, giraffes, impalas, buffaloes, topis, and warthogs. The evening game drive is perfect for photography and enjoying the African sunset. Dinner and overnight stay are at the safari lodge inside or near the park.
Day 4 starts with an early morning game drive in Lake Mburo National Park. Morning hours are the best time to spot wildlife when animals are active. After the game drive, you return to the lodge for breakfast and later enjoy a boat cruise on Lake Mburo. During the boat safari, you may see hippos, crocodiles, buffaloes near the lake shores, and many bird species including fish eagles and kingfishers. In the afternoon, travelers can also enjoy a guided walking safari for a close wildlife encounter. Dinner and overnight stay follow at the lodge.
Day 5 begins with breakfast before starting the journey back to Kampala or Entebbe. You will enjoy another scenic drive through Uganda’s beautiful landscapes with stopovers for lunch and relaxation. Depending on your flight schedule, our driver guide can transfer you to Entebbe International Airport or your hotel marking the end of your amazing Uganda gorilla and wildlife safari.

The best time for gorilla trekking and wildlife safaris in Uganda is during the dry seasons from June to September and December to February. During these months, roads and forest trails are easier to use. However, gorilla trekking in Bwindi can be done throughout the year because mountain gorillas stay in the forest permanently. Travelers planning a Uganda gorilla safari are advised to book gorilla permits early because permits are limited and highly demanded. Gorilla permits in Uganda are issued by Uganda Wildlife Authority and allow visitors to spend one hour with mountain gorillas in Bwindi Impenetrable National Park or Mgahinga Gorilla National Park.
