Detailed Itinerary: 6-Day Slow-Paced Uganda Gorilla Trekking Tour

Day 1: Arrival in Entebbe – Welcome to Uganda

Arrive at Entebbe International Airport, where our dedicated guide warmly welcomes you. You’ll transfer to a comfortable hotel in Entebbe for relaxation after your journey. Enjoy a scenic sunset over Lake Victoria and a hearty welcome dinner as you settle into your Ugandan adventure. Optional: If time allows, you may enjoy a slow nature walk at the Entebbe Botanical Gardens. Your guide will brief you about the tour and provide helpful tips for the upcoming days, ensuring you feel confident, safe, and excited for what lies ahead. Overnight at a senior-friendly boutique hotel in Entebbe.

Day 2: Transfer to Lake Bunyonyi – Uganda’s Most Beautiful Lake

After a leisurely breakfast, take a scenic domestic flight or a comfortable road transfer (with plenty of stops) to Lake Bunyonyi, a tranquil haven nestled in southwestern Uganda. Upon arrival, check into a lakefront eco-lodge offering stunning views and easy walking paths. Spend the afternoon unwinding or take an optional boat ride to explore the islands. Lake Bunyonyi’s cool breeze, mild altitude, and peaceful setting make it a perfect acclimatization stop before trekking. Dinner is served overlooking the lake, with soft evening entertainment like storytelling or a traditional music performance.

Day 3: Transfer to Bwindi – Heart of Gorilla Country

After a restful morning and breakfast by the lake, take a short, smooth drive to Bwindi Impenetrable National Park, home to nearly half the world’s remaining mountain gorillas. Your lodge is located on the park’s edge, offering luxury and comfort with forest views. You’ll have a gentle nature walk with your guide to explore the area and prepare mentally for the trek. In the evening, enjoy a cultural interaction with the Batwa community or relax on your private veranda. Early dinner and early night recommended as you prepare for tomorrow’s exciting gorilla encounter.

Day 4: Gorilla Trekking Experience – The Gentle Encounter

Today is the highlight of your journey. After breakfast, you’ll be transferred to the park headquarters for a detailed briefing. Your group will be assigned a gentle trail suited to seniors and accompanied by experienced rangers and porters (included). Trekking can take 2–5 hours, depending on the gorilla location, but all efforts are made to ensure comfort. Once found, you’ll spend a magical hour observing the gorilla family, watching them feed, play, and bond. Return to the lodge for a massage or rest. Celebrate with a certificate ceremony and a bush dinner under the stars.

Day 5: Optional Activities or Leisure at Bwindi/Lake Bunyonyi

Choose how to spend this day, either relaxing at the lodge, enjoying a scenic return to Lake Bunyonyi for more lakeside peace, or engaging in light activities like guided birdwatching, a forest walk, or a visit to local crafts centers. For those with energy, an optional second trek to golden monkeys or a short community walk can be arranged. Meals are fresh and organic, with a slower pace to match your energy. The evening ends with storytelling around a bonfire and reflections on your gorilla experience. Overnight at a quiet, senior-friendly lodge.

Day 6: Return to Entebbe – Departure

After a restful breakfast, you’ll take a scenic domestic flight back to Entebbe or a comfortable drive with multiple scenic stopovers. Enjoy lunch en route or upon arrival, depending on your travel plan. Your guide will assist with airport transfer and check-in for your outbound flight. Optional day-room use is available for those flying out late in the evening. Say farewell to Uganda, taking home not just photos, but the deeply moving memory of encountering the great mountain gorillas in their untouched home.
