You will stop at the Equator for photos and a short break, then continue to Igongo Cultural Village for lunch before proceeding to Bwindi. This dense rainforest is rich in biodiversity and home to mountain gorillas, birds, and other wildlife.

After the trek, transfer to Lake Bunyonyi, the second deepest lake in Africa, known for its beautiful terraced hills—often called the “Switzerland of Africa.” Enjoy optional activities such as a boat ride, swimming, bird watching, or simply relaxing by the lake.
