Day 2
Bwindi Impenetrable National Park
After an early breakfast, you will transfer by guest house shuttle to Entebbe for your morning domestic flight to Kihihi Airstrip. Your flight is scheduled to depart at 07h00 and arrive at 08h45. On arrival, you will be met by the lodge team and transferred by lodge vehicle to your accommodation, with the journey taking approximately 1 hour 20 minutes. This region is known as the gateway to Bwindi Impenetrable Forest, home to the endangered mountain gorillas. On arrival at the lodge, check in and enjoy a delicious lunch. The afternoon is yours to relax, settle in, and prepare for the next day’s gorilla trekking experience. Alternatively, you may choose to enjoy an optional guided forest walk at an additional cost — a wonderful first introduction to Uganda’s unique flora, birdlife, and forest ecosystem.

Day 3
Gorilla Tracking
Following breakfast, transfer to the national park offices for registration and briefing. Here, you will be allocated a gorilla family in a small group of up to 8 guests, together with an experienced gorilla tracking guide. Your guide will explain more about the mountain gorillas, your assigned gorilla family, and the safety guidelines to follow during the trek. From there, continue to the trailhead and begin your gorilla tracking adventure through the forest. The trek can take between 2 and 8 hours, with steep, muddy terrain and possible rain along the way, so a moderate level of fitness is recommended. While the hike can be challenging, the reward of coming face to face with a mountain gorilla silverback makes the experience truly unforgettable.

5.0/5Holiday of a lifetime!
We were a party of 7 from SA and Germany. We had the absolute time of our lives! The communication was great, we wanted to (try) and see as much of Namibia as we could in 9 days. We went to various different places, saw all the must-sees and finished strong in Erongo, which was so luxurious. The value for money was incredible and in general the trip was hassle free, as everything was planned in advance for us. We will definitely book here again.

A perfect trip, organized by Marietjie (Map2Africa)!
A perfect trip, that's what Map2Africa arranged for us! Everything was perfectly prepared and send via an app to us. It helped us a lot during our trip. We liked the spots and lodges Marietjie choose for us very much, even as the arranged activities. This will be a trip we'll never forget. It was not the first holiday Marietjie arranged for us and it will definitly not be the last.
Hans & Irma · Netherlands
A perfect full service operator for individual planned experiences
Marietjie organised an unforgettable self drive trip to Namibia and Botswana for us. From the first initial contact till the last day of the trip everything se did was perfect. A very well set up itinerary, a very good travel app and a perfect follow up also during the trip making sure all went well. Specially the latter is something which we have not encountered in such extend before and was much appreciated. We recommend Marietjie and Map 2 Africa to everyone planning a trip to any of their destinations in Africa.
Nico & Petra · Cyprus
Still most exciting and favorite trip EVER
My wife and I used them to arrange a self-drive safari through Botswana and into Zimbabwe for the falls. The trip was flawless and it has remained our favorite travel ever. They helped with changes and suggestions throughout the process. Communication was through and timely. I HIGHLY recommend them.
