Itinerary

Karibu Uganda

Welcome to Uganda! Your guide will will meet you at Entebbe International Airport and you to your accommodation. Entebbe is a cool and green garden on the shores of Lake Victoria, the second biggest freshwater body in the world. Take some time to relax, take a dip in the swimming pool or even a game of golf as you prepare for the adventure ahead.

Off to Kibale the Primates Capital

Kibale

Today transfer to Kibale National Park in western Uganda. The park is known for its diversity and abundance of primate species. Some call it the primate capital of Africa, the richest eco system in Africa or the primatologist’s dream. After checking in, explore the Bigodi Wetland Sanctuary for a closer-to-nature encounter before retiring for the night.

Track the Chimpanzees of Kibale

Kibale | Queen Elizabeth

Enjoy breakfast before you before going out to track chimpanzees in this tropical forest. Kibale has a large concentration of primates so look out for L’Hoest monkeys, blue monkeys, red colobus monkeys and others. After lunch transfer to Queen Elizabeth National Park. Check into your accommodation. If time allows you can go out to explore the crater and salt lakes of the park.

Seek out four of the Big Five

Queen Elizabeth

Morning game drive seeking out Africa's big 5 - lions, elephants, buffalo, and leopards. Queen Elizabeth National Park is one of the most visited parks in Uganda. In the afternoon after lunch, go for a water safari on the Kazinga channel. The water safari takes you close and safely to the wildlife. Enjoy the cruise as you look out for animals and birds. There are over 600 bird species in this park and you would need days just to go out birding.

Transfer to Bwindi

Bwindi Impenetrable

After breakfast, transfer to Bwindi through the southern sector of Queen Elizabeth National Park. This section is home to the tree climbing lions. While lions do often climb trees around Africa, the lions of Ishasha prefer to spend most of their day in the trees. Once at your accommodation, settle in and prepare for the next day's great trek.

One Moment with Gorillas

Bwindi Impenetrable

Track mountain gorillas in Bwindi. There are only about 1,000 mountain gorillas left in the world. This is a once in a lifetime opportunity to spend time with a gorilla family. In the afternoon, you can rest to recover from the morning hike or take a village walk and engage with community.
