Papyrus Guest House

Bwindi Impenetrable

After a mighty breakfast prepared by your accommodation, we report at the gorilla tracking starting point for a short briefing. You then enter the Impenetrable forest with your packed lunch to search for the endangered mountain gorillas. Be ready to walk for 45 minutes to 5 hours depending on where you will find the gorillas that day. Having encountered them, you will be given a full hour to interact with gorillas before returning to your lodge to relax.

Bakiga Lodge

Queen Elizabeth

Wake up for breakfast, and go for a game drive in the Kasenyi sector. This is a mating ground for kobs and therefore a hunting ground for lions, leopards and other predators. Expect to see kobs, water bucks, lions, leopards, elephants and so on. After having lunch, you are to have a boat trip on the Kazinga channel. This is the water stream that joins the two lakes George and Edward. It is a permanent water source and several animals go to it to have a drink in the afternoon.

Buffalo Safari Lodge

Kibale

Have breakfast and travel to Kyanyanchu where you will begin your chimpanzee walk. You will be briefed about the dos and don’ts of chimpanzee trekking and then enter the forest to search for our closest cousins. Having encountered them, you will spend an hour relating. Be ready to walk for 1 to 6 hours depending on where the chimps will be on this day. You may drive back to your lodge and relax or have an option to do either the Bigodi swamp walk or hike around the crater lakes in the area.

Chimpanzee Forest Lodge

Having had breakfast, have a full day game viewing on the vast plains of the Masai Mara giving you chance to see lions, cheetahs, buffaloes, zebras, warthogs. Masai Mara is famous for having a huge population of game. The months of July to September tend to be the most interesting due to the migration of millions of wildebeest from Tanzania’s Serengeti to Kenya’s Mara National Reserve. To some, this great animal migration is the 7th wonder of the world.

Sentrim Mara

You wakeup for a relaxed breakfast and then visit a masai community. While on this tour you will be introduced to some masai traditions such as starting fire without a lighter, also enjoy a presentation from their community. Be ready to participate in the presentation as it is healthy for your muscles (can you jump higher than a masai warrior?) In the evening, you will travel to Jommo Kenyatta International Airport to catch your connection flight to your next destination.
