Itinerary

To Kibale Forest National Park

Kibale

Our Gorilla and Chimpanzee trekking tour begins today. We will depart from Kampala after breakfast and head westwards to Fort Portal town. This route to meet the primates will take about 4 -5 hours. We will have lunch in Fort Portal and continue to Kibale where you will go for either a community walk or visit the beautiful Crater lakes region for a spectacular scenic view of the beautiful landscapes in the evening.

Chimpanzee tracking and nature walk

Kibale

After breakfast you will report at the Kanyanchu Tourist Centre for a briefing on the rules before the Chimpanzee tracking experience at 08.00 am. The trek for the Kibale chimps takes 2-3 hours and it will provide you with the opportunity to also see a variety of other primates and animals as well as birds, and various species of butterflies and insects. You will return to the lodge for lunch and in the afternoon go for a nature walk in the Bigodi Wetland to see a variety of birds and monkeys.

Queen Elizabeth national park

Queen Elizabeth

You will proceed to Queen Elizabeth National Park and go straight for a 2-hour boat cruise on the Kazinga Channel. The 42km channel joins Lake Edward and Lake George. This boat trip passes through possibly the highest concentration of hippos in Africa and offers an excellent opportunity for photography, bird watching and game viewing. The prolific bird life is colorful, with well over 550 resident species

Game Drive and transfer to Bwindi

Bwindi Impenetrable | Queen Elizabeth

You will wake up early for a morning game drive in the park to see Lions, Elephants, Topis, Leopards, Bush bucks, Cape Buffaloes, Defassa Waterbucks, Giant Forest Hogs, Uganda Kobs, among others. You will later transfer to the Ishasha sector of the Queen Elizabeth National Park to spot the tree climbing lions. Enroute the Primates Tour, you will make stopovers at the Bat cave and the Kyambura gorge. You will then set off for Bwindi Impenetrable Forest National Park arriving in the evening.

Gorilla trekking in Bwindi

Bwindi Impenetrable

You will have an early morning breakfast and move to the park headquarters to join other trackers in a briefing about the gorilla trekking rules at 7:45 am. You will trek through thick creepers and undergrowth with your guides to find the mountain Gorillas, which can take you 1-8 hours. The steeply forested landscape is incredibly dense but crisscrossed by numerous animal trails allowing access by tourists. You will have 1 hour to stay with the Gorillas once sighted.

Travel to Kampala

Our Primate and Wildlife Safari in Uganda ends today. After breakfast, we set off on the return journey to Kampala. We will have a stopover at Igongo cultural centre to explore the life style of the Ankole and Bahima people and at the Equator where you will have the remarkable opportunity of standing in two hemispheres at the same time and take some photos. You will arrive in Kampala in the late afternoon and either be transferred to the airport for your flight.
