Lake Mutanda - Lake Mutanda is a small freshwater lake located in the far southwest of Uganda, near Bwindi Impenetrable Forest and Mgahinga Gorilla National Park. It is drained by the Rutshuru River, which flows northward to Lake Edward.

Lake Mutanda is a 30-minute drive from the center of Kisoro.

At an altitude of 1,800m, it is an excellent place for hiking and offers breathtaking views of The Virunga Mountains.

Gorilla Trekking within Bwindi Impenetrable National Park

Bwindi Impenetrable National Park - After breakfast in the morning, you’ll check in at the Park’s Headquarters for legal formalities before the trekking adventure begins. Bwindi is home to more than half of the world’s population of Mountain Gorillas, with over 300 gorillas residing here.
Depending on your physical fitness, we will arrange for you to track Gorillas via a suitable hike.
Once you encounter them, you’ll have the opportunity to spend an hour or more with these endangered creatures, learning about their lifestyle.
After the trek, our driver guide will take you back to Kigali.
No one ever regrets spending time with these fascinating Mountain Gorillas in Uganda’s Bwindi Impenetrable Forest, one of the most stunning rainforests you’ll ever see.

Why Booking Kigali to Bwindi Impenetrable NP Gorilla Trekking?
Pretty easier and good if this Gorilla Safari starts from Kigali so that you can save money, time and effort especially when you are going to visit mountain Gorillas in Bwindi Impenetrable National Park.

Having this short distance, It is true that connecting to Bwindi Impenetrable NP from Kigali get much easier for many travelers than from Entebbe or Kampala whenever it comes to Gorilla trekking.

I was able to enjoy the gorilla show smoothly. - I originally booked Nyiragongo, but it was closed, so I changed my destination to gorilla trekking in Bwindi. I had arranged for gorilla trekking in Vilcanoes National Park in Rwanda to be done by another tour company, and when it finished at Musanze, this tour company picked me up in the evening, crossed the border into Uganda, and moved to a lodge near the national park for the night. The next morning I participated in gorilla trekking. I left in the afternoon and was transported across the border to Kigali in Rwanda. Overall, the trip went smoothly and I was very satisfied. We had an hour to observe the gorilla family, and we were able to get a good look at the baby and the boss up close. This time, I went on gorilla trekking in both Rwanda and Uganda, and both were good, but I thought Uganda was more reasonable in terms of price. The roads in Uganda are quite rough off-road, so if you have some spare energy, I think Uganda is a good choice for a reasonable price, and if you want something closer, gorilla trekking in Rwanda is a good choice.
