Arrive in Entebbe, where your private guide welcomes you before the scenic journey west toward Kibale Forest. The route passes rural towns, tea-growing landscapes, crater lake scenery, and rolling highlands. Arrive at your lodge near the forest, settle in, and enjoy a quiet evening before the following day’s chimpanzee tracking experience.
Begin with guided chimpanzee tracking in Kibale Forest, one of Africa’s finest primate destinations. Follow calls through the forest as chimpanzees move through the canopy and along the trails. Later, return to the lodge for rest or add a Bigodi Wetland walk for birdlife, monkeys, and community encounters.
After breakfast, travel south toward Queen Elizabeth National Park, passing crater lakes, small villages, and views of the Rwenzori Mountains where conditions allow. Arrive in Uganda’s famous savannah landscape and enjoy an afternoon game drive, searching for elephants, buffalo, antelope, warthogs, lions, and rich birdlife across the plains.
Start the day with a morning game drive across Queen Elizabeth National Park, exploring open savannah, crater landscapes, and wildlife-rich tracks. In the afternoon, take a boat safari along the Kazinga Channel, where hippos, crocodiles, elephants, buffalo, and waterbirds gather close to the shoreline in excellent viewing conditions.
Leave Queen Elizabeth after breakfast and travel toward Bwindi Impenetrable National Park. Depending on the selected trekking sector, the route may pass through the Ishasha area, known for its tree-climbing lions. Arrive at your forest lodge near Bwindi, settle into the rainforest atmosphere, and prepare for the next morning’s gorilla trek.
After an early breakfast, attend the gorilla trekking briefing before entering Bwindi’s rainforest with expert rangers and trackers. The trek may be gentle or demanding depending on the gorillas’ location, but the reward is profound: one hour with a mountain gorilla family. Return to the lodge afterward for rest, reflection, and a quiet evening.
Enjoy a slower morning after the intensity of the gorilla trek before beginning the scenic transfer toward Rwanda. After completing border formalities, continue to Kigali for airport drop-off or an optional overnight stay.
