Alternatively, explore local craft markets or simply unwind at your hotel.
In the afternoon, embark on a scenic drive to Volcanoes National Park, home to the majestic mountain gorillas and golden monkeys.

After this unforgettable experience, journey across the border into Uganda, heading towards the renowned Bwindi Impenetrable National Park. Your private guide from Turkana Wildlife Safaris Uganda will assist you throughout the border crossing process, ensuring a smooth and stress free transition between countries.
Bwindi Impenetrable National Park is a UNESCO World Heritage site and a haven for wildlife enthusiasts. Known for its rich biodiversity and dense forests, this ancient rainforest is home to nearly half of the world’s remaining mountain gorilla population.
