The park is located in southern Uganda and can be reached in about 3 to 4 hours from Kigali, Rwanda, through the Katuna border post.

Before the drive, you will have a short city tour in Kigali, visiting local markets and the Genocide Memorial site to watch documentaries and pay tribute to the more than 250,000 Tutsi and Hutu people who lost their lives during the 1994 genocide.

The journey to Bwindi is very scenic, with views of green plantations, hills, and the Virunga Mountains in the background.
