Your safari begins with an early morning pick-up from Kigali, followed by a scenic drive through Rwanda’s rolling hills—often referred to as the “Land of a Thousand Hills.” Along the way, enjoy views of terraced farmland, vibrant villages, and lush green landscapes. You will then proceed to the Cyanika or Katuna border, where your guide will assist with immigration formalities before crossing into Uganda. After border clearance, continue your journey toward Bwindi Impenetrable National Park, a world-renowned habitat for endangered mountain gorillas. Arrive in the afternoon or early evening, depending on your assigned sector (Rushaga, Nkuringo, Buhoma, or Ruhija). Check into your lodge, relax, and enjoy the peaceful forest atmosphere as you prepare for the next day’s unforgettable gorilla trekking experience.

Wake up early for breakfast before heading to the briefing point in Bwindi Impenetrable National Park for an introduction to gorilla trekking guidelines by experienced park rangers. After the briefing, begin your adventure through the dense rainforest in search of a habituated mountain gorilla family. The trek may take a few hours depending on the gorillas’ location, but the experience is truly rewarding. Once the gorillas are found, you will spend one unforgettable hour observing them as they feed, play, and interact in their natural habitat while enjoying incredible photography opportunities. After the trekking experience, return to the lodge for lunch and refreshments. Later, begin your scenic drive back to Kigali through the beautiful rolling hills of Uganda and Rwanda, arriving in the evening as the end of your memorable gorilla safari.

Incredible

This safari experience was absolutely incredible and beyond all my expectations—it was truly outstanding from start to finish! My driver Medard delivered phenomenal service the entire time. He drove incredibly safely, smoothly and steadily at all times, and always put my safety as his absolute top priority. Every decision he made was for the wellbeing and security of my trip, making me feel calm, protected and comfortable throughout the whole adventure. Thanks to his amazing professional experience and sharp eye for wildlife, I got to witness so many stunning wild animals in their natural habitat. I was so lucky to see gorillas, bush babies and plenty of other beautiful exotic creatures up close. This is hands down the best safari experience I have ever had. Everything was perfect, well arranged and absolutely magical. I highly recommend Mudards and this wonderful safari tour to every traveler!

An unforgettable adventure in the heart of Rwanda and Uganda with Kimed Eco Tours ✨🦍

I've just returned from an absolutely extraordinary 6-day trip between Rwanda and Uganda, and I wholeheartedly recommend Kimed Eco Tours. From the very first contact, the organization was flawless. Everything was smooth, clear, and reassuring. But what made this experience truly unique was my guide, Medard. Professional, caring, passionate, and always attentive to my comfort and well-being, he adapted each day with incredible patience and kindness. Thanks to him, I experienced truly timeless moments: the unforgettable encounter with the gorillas, observing the chimpanzees in Kalinzu, the golden monkeys, the safari in Queen Elizabeth Park… Every activity was perfectly organized, safe, and always accompanied by fascinating explanations about the local wildlife, flora, and culture. Medard doesn't just drive: he shares, he explains, he protects, he watches over. I felt completely confident from beginning to end. Traveling alone can sometimes be intimidating, but with him, I felt supported, respected, and safe every step of the way. This trip will forever be etched in my heart. If you're looking for a reliable, personable, and passionate agency to explore Rwanda and Uganda, choose Kimed Eco Tours, and don't hesitate to ask for Medard. Thank you for everything 💚 (automatic translation from French)

My second travel journey with Kimed Eco Tours! Professional and reliable!

This is my second safari with Kimed Eco Tours, and it was just as incredible as the first. Our guide, Medard, knowledgeable, friendly, and made the experience truly special. Medard provided us with deep insights into the local wildlife, cultural history, and even the small hidden gems of Uganda that we never would’ve discovered on our own. The accommodations throughout the trip were fantastic. We stayed in carefully selected lodges that were comfortable, clean, and situated in breathtaking locations, offering amazing views of the national parks. Highly recommend Kimed Eco Tours for anyone wanting to explore Uganda!
