If you are staying by lake bunyoni, its about an hour and a half to the gorillas, if you are closer to the forest, you wont have to get up as early.
We drove up from Kigali (which I think is closer actually) and then went to Kampala from Kabale and onwards into Kenya.
Make sure you wear waterproof and comfortable shoes, your toes will dig into the front on the descent, the jungle will cut your body, so make sure you are all covered- and gloves are a must (you can rent them) - they will also have walking sticks (free)
Its one of those life experiences that you ll never forget.
I remember the drive down from Kampala rather boring, unless its your first time in Africa, then you might find it interesting
