You will be met by your safari guide in Kigali, Rwanda who will drive you straight to the
Uganda – Rwanda border of Cyanika/Katuna. In the process, you will traverse the lush
countryside dotted with undulating hills that have given Rwanda its name as the land of a thousand hills. Arriving in Bwindi in the afternoon, check-in at your lodge and later go on the Batwa Cultural trail. You will go through their villages to have an experience of how they go about their daily routine activities and you’ll be amazed by the way they skillfully cultivate the hillsides and how they care for their animals (cows) which are a prime source of pride.

The steeply forested landscape is incredibly dense but crisscrossed by numerous animal trails allowing access by tourists. You will have one hour to stay with the gorillas once sited and transfer to Lake Bunyonyi.
