Join Kyooma Gorilla Safaris on a remarkable Uganda Gorilla and Lake Bunyonyi Safari from Kigali, blending adventure, wildlife, and tranquil landscapes. Beginning in Kigali, Rwanda’s vibrant capital, this Uganda Gorilla and Lake Bunyonyi Safari promises an unforgettable experience. Traverse from Rwanda to Uganda, encountering mountain gorillas and the serene waters of Lake Bunyonyi along the way.
Our adventure starts in Kigali, known for its cleanliness and dynamic culture. From here, you’ll set out on a scenic road journey toward the Uganda-Rwanda border. Enjoy the constantly changing landscape, passing through small towns and picturesque villages. Each place offers unique glimpses of local life, setting the tone for the journey ahead.
Upon arrival at the border, the transition from Rwanda into Uganda marks a new chapter in the safari. Notice the shift from Kigali’s orderly streets to the welcoming atmosphere of Uganda’s border towns. This crossing immerses you in a fresh blend of cultures and landscapes.
The safari’s highlight awaits in Bwindi Impenetrable Forest, home to the endangered mountain gorillas. After entering Uganda, experienced trackers guide you through the dense, green forest. Trekking through this UNESCO World Heritage Site is an adventure in itself. As you move through the lush vegetation, the sounds of the jungle surround you.
Encountering a mountain gorilla family up close is a truly humbling experience. You’ll witness their intricate social structures, playful interactions, and, if lucky, the powerful gaze of the silverback, the troop’s leader.
After the gorilla trek, a scenic drive leads to the enchanting Lake Bunyonyi. Travel through rolling hills and verdant landscapes, providing time to reflect on the gorilla encounter. The serene journey sets the mood for the tranquility awaiting you at the lake.
Known as the “Place of Little Birds,” Lake Bunyonyi welcomes you with calm waters and lush scenery. Spend the evening relaxing—whether taking a leisurely boat ride, exploring the surrounding islands, or simply unwinding by the lakeside while watching the sunset.
Lake Bunyonyi offers more than natural beauty; it’s a center of rich culture. Engage with local communities, learn about their traditions, and savor authentic Ugandan cuisine during a lakeside dinner. The meal is enhanced by traditional music and storytelling, deepening your connection to Uganda’s heritage.
