Overlooking the beautifully primeval Bwindi Impenetrable Forest. This beautiful lodge has just eight stone and timber glass-fronted bandas, which face the lush forest canopy.

Overnight at Volcanoes Bwindi Safari Lodge
(Meals: Lunch & Dinner)
Spend two days in the park with picnic lunch.
On both mornings, you will be transferred to the park gate for a briefing by your guides.
Upon entering the national park, you will be immersed in the mysterious intimacy of the rainforest, alive with different bird calls and butterflies. The hiking to reach the gorillas can vary considerably – taking anything from 30 minutes to many hours – as the movements of the gorillas are unpredictable. Your guides will help you weave through the overhanging vines and giant lobelias that thrive in the tropical climate, as the experienced trackers, many who spend most of their time with the gorillas, will help locate the Gorilla family.
Upon sighting the gorillas, spend an hour with them as they go about their daily life, feeding, playing, resting and raising their young. Coming face to face with a giant silverback must truly be one of the greatest wildlife experiences on earth!
Later return to the lodge.
Dinner at the lodge.
