Gorilla Trekking And Wildlife Safari

You will be picked up from either the hotel or the airport upon arrival by your assigned professional, English-speaking tour driver-guide. We will then embark on a transfer to Queen Elizabeth National Park, one of Uganda’s most popular tourist destinations. The park boasts diverse ecosystems, home to a variety of wildlife including ten primate species (such as chimpanzees), over 600 bird species, and classic big game. We will stop for lunch en route and then continue to Queen Elizabeth NP, arriving in the late afternoon or evening. Upon arrival, you will check into your accommodation and relax. If time permits, we can go for a late afternoon-to-evening game drive.

Start your day early with breakfast, then head out for a morning game drive in the Kasenyi plains. Look out for Cape buffalo, herds of elephants, and, with some luck, lions and leopards. After the game drive, return to your accommodation to rest and have lunch. In the afternoon, enjoy a 2-hour boat trip on the Kazinga Channel, which connects Lakes George and Edward. During the trip, you’ll be captivated by sightings of giant hippos, elephants, crocodiles, and a variety of birds along the shores. After the boat trip, you can choose to return to the lodge to rest or go for a brief late afternoon game drive before heading back to the lodge.

After breakfast, depart from Queen Elizabeth National Park and begin your transfer to Bwindi Impenetrable National Park. The journey offers scenic views of southwestern Uganda’s rolling hills, rural villages, and terraced farmlands.

Arrive in the afternoon and check in at your lodge near the park. The rest of the day is at leisure as you relax and prepare for the unforgettable gorilla trekking experience in the dense rainforest of Bwindi.

After breakfast, head to the rangers' post for a briefing on the dos and don'ts of gorilla trekking. Then, embark on your adventure into the Bwindi Forest. The beauty of this rainforest is spectacular, with its dramatic, steeply forested landscape and dense vegetation crisscrossed by numerous animal trails. The duration and terrain of your trek will vary depending on the movements of the gorillas. Once you locate a gorilla group, you will spend an unforgettable hour in their presence. Unforgettable experience!

Enjoy a leisurely breakfast at your accommodation, taking in the spectacular view of the little islands of Lake Bunyonyi right in front of you. Afterwards, embark on your return journey to Entebbe/Kampala. Along the way, you'll stop for lunch and visit the Uganda Equator line in Kayabwe, where you can take memorable photos and perhaps purchase some art pieces. Continue your journey, arriving in the late afternoon or evening for drop-off at the airport or hotel.
