Pickup from Kigali for the Bwindi Gorilla Safari from Kigali
Your 2 Days Bwindi Gorilla Safari begins in Kigali, Rwanda, where you'll be picked up by a professional guide from your chosen tour company. The drive from Kigali to Bwindi Impenetrable National Park is approximately 4-5 hours, so be prepared for a scenic journey through the beautiful countryside. Along the way, you'll have the opportunity to stop at various points of interest, such as the Rwanda-Uganda border, where you can take photos and enjoy some refreshments. Your guide will provide you with valuable insights into the history, culture, and wildlife of the region during the drive. You'll arrive at your accommodation near Bwindi Impenetrable National Park in the late afternoon. Check in and settle into your room. Enjoy a delicious dinner at the lodge, and take some time to relax and prepare for your gorilla tracking adventure the next day.

Day 2
Gorilla Tracking in Bwindi Impenetrable National Park
Wake up early and have a hearty breakfast to fuel yourself for the day ahead. After breakfast, you'll be driven to the Bwindi Impenetrable National Park headquarters for a briefing on gorilla tracking rules and safety guidelines. This briefing is essential to ensure the well-being of both the gorillas and visitors. Following the briefing, you'll be assigned to a gorilla tracking group, along with a professional guide and park rangers. Your group will then embark on a trek through the dense Bwindi forest in search of a habituated gorilla family. The duration of the trek can vary, but it typically takes 2-6 hours to locate the gorillas, depending on their location. Once you find the gorillas, you'll have an awe-inspiring hour to observe and photograph them from a safe and respectful distance. This is a truly unique and unforgettable wildlife encounter. After spending time with the gorillas, you'll return to the park headquarters. Breakfast & lunch (Dinner not included) Drinking water (Other drinks not included)

Renai, recently prepared a bespoke trip for myself and son over 13 days. We can’t thank them enough for providing us with memories of a lifetime. Our guide and driver “Living” embraced our every need and want during the trip. He kept us entertained and was always seeking feedback on how he could assist us and make our trip better. I would highly recommend Renai to anyone wanting to experience the real Africa.

Lively and Interesting
It was such A Memorable 4-Day Adventure with a Vibrant Guide! As students short on time during a study conference, we couldn’t have asked for a better way to spend our break than with Renai Adventures. Our 4-day Rwanda safari was perfectly tailored to fit our tight schedule, allowing us to explore the country’s stunning natural beauty. The highlight of our trip was trekking to see the majestic mountain gorillas in Volcanoes National Park – a truly humbling and unforgettable experience. We also enjoyed an exciting game drive in Akagera National Park, where we spotted elephants, giraffes, and zebras roaming freely. Our guide, Mr. Yagala, was a standout – lively, engaging, and full of fascinating stories. He kept us entertained throughout the trip while ensuring everything ran smoothly. This adventure was short but packed with incredible memories, and we can’t recommend Renai Adventures enough!
