8-Day Double Gorilla Luxury Expedition.

Day 1: Arrival in Entebbe & Night of Luxury

Your journey begins in Entebbe, where you are welcomed into a serene, high-end lakeside hotel. After settling in, you may enjoy a gentle walk along Lake Victoria, a relaxing spa treatment, or a gourmet dinner infused with fresh East African flavours. The evening is calm, offering a peaceful start to your luxury expedition as you prepare for the days ahead.

Day 2: Scenic Flight to Bwindi & Forest Luxury Check-In

After breakfast, you board a scenic domestic flight to Bwindi, soaring above lush landscapes, rolling hills, and shimmering crater lakes. Upon landing, your private transfer leads you to one of Bwindi’s top luxury lodges—an intimate retreat where fire-lit lounges, forest-view suites, and personalised service redefine comfort. The afternoon unfolds gently as you sip tea overlooking misty treetops, enjoy a massage, or relax in your suite with panoramic forest views.

Day 3: First Gorilla Trekking Experience – Bwindi

Morning arrives with cool mountain air as you arrive at the ranger station for your first gorilla trekking briefing. Expert trackers lead you into the forest, following the movements of your assigned gorilla family. Every rustle, distant call, and soft breeze builds anticipation until the moment you step into their presence.

Seeing them for the first time is overwhelmingly emotional. You observe the silverback’s quiet strength, the playful energy of juveniles, and mothers nurturing their young with gentle affection. The hour feels profound—intimate, humbling, and unforgettable. After returning to your lodge, the afternoon invites rest, spa treatments, forest walks, and elegant dining beneath the evening sky.

Day 4: Luxury Day of Leisure in Bwindi

After the intensity of your first trek, this day offers pure luxury and serenity. You may choose immersive but relaxing activities such as guided nature walks, cultural visits to nearby communities, wellness spa treatments, or simply enjoying the comfort of your lodge. Many travellers spend time journaling, photographing the forest, or unwinding on private terraces overlooking the mountains. The day ends with a gourmet dinner inspired by local and continental flavours.

Day 5: Second Gorilla Trekking Experience – Bwindi

Your second trek offers a deeper connection to the gorilla world. You trek to a different sector or different family, allowing you to witness contrasting personalities, behaviours, and forest environments. The experience feels richer, more familiar, and emotionally layered. Trekkers often find this second encounter even more meaningful, as they are no longer overwhelmed by first-day excitement and can fully absorb the gorillas’ subtle behaviours and quiet beauty. After returning to your lodge, a celebratory dinner awaits—honouring your remarkable double-trekking achievement.

Day 6: Transfer to Lake Bunyonyi – Luxury by the Water

After breakfast, you transfer to the highland paradise of Lake Bunyonyi—one of Africa’s most enchanting lakes. The journey reveals terraced hills, misty valleys, and sweeping mountain ridges. Upon arrival at a luxury lakeside lodge, tranquillity envelops you. The afternoon may include a private boat ride to the lake’s story-filled islands, lakeside relaxation, or enjoying panoramic views from your suite. The atmosphere is soft, peaceful, and perfect for unwinding after days of trekking.

Day 7: Lakeside Relaxation & Highland Exploration

This day unfolds slowly in the serene highlands. You may enjoy a relaxed canoe ride, swimming in the bilharzia-free waters, visiting local communities, or simply absorbing the stillness of the lake. Luxury dining, warm hospitality, and breathtaking scenery make this day restorative and memorable. It is a perfect conclusion to your deep primate explorations—a day spent in beauty, peace, and gentle reflection.

Day 8: Return to Entebbe & Departure

After breakfast, you begin your journey back—either by scenic flight or luxury road transfer. As you travel through Uganda’s rich countryside, memories of misty forests, gorillas in the wild, highland forests, and lakeside luxury settle gently in your heart. By the time you arrive in Entebbe for your departure flight, your expedition stands as a once-in-a-lifetime journey that blends wilderness immersion with exceptional comfort and emotional depth.
