Start Exploring

Day 1

Welcome to Uganda

Land at Entebbe International Airport, where your friendly guide will greet you with a warm Ugandan smile. You’ll drive to Kampala, the capital city, for a relaxing evening at your hotel. Take time to unwind and prepare for the adventure ahead.
After breakfast, set off on a scenic drive to Kibale Forest. Along the way, you’ll pass lush tea plantations, rolling hills, and local villages bustling with life. Arrive at your lodge in time for dinner. Rest well—tomorrow, the chimpanzees await!

Day 2

Drive to Kibale Forest National Park

Day 3

Chimpanzee Trekking in Kibale

Wake up to the sounds of the forest and head out for your chimpanzee trek. With your expert guide, explore the tropical Kibale Forest, home to over 1,400 chimpanzees. Spot the playful primates as they swing from tree to tree, groom one another, and forage. After an hour with them, return to your lodge for lunch. In the afternoon, enjoy a relaxing nature walk in Bigodi Swamp, famous for birds and unique wetland species.
Start your day with a hearty breakfast before driving to Queen Elizabeth National Park. The journey offers scenic views of the Rwenzori Mountains and the rural Ugandan countryside. Arrive at the park and check in to your lodge. As the sun sets, go on an evening game drive to spot elephants, buffaloes, and maybe even a lion basking in the golden light.

Day 4

To Queen Elizabeth National Park

Day 5

Kazinga Channel Boat Safari & Game Drive

Begin your morning with a thrilling game drive in the Kasenyi Plains. Watch herds of antelope, warthogs, and Uganda kobs graze as predators lurk nearby. After lunch, board a boat on the Kazinga Channel. This tranquil cruise is a highlight—see hippos cooling off, crocodiles sunbathing, and elephants coming down for a drink. Don’t forget your camera; this is nature at its finest.
Enjoy breakfast with a view before hitting the road to Bwindi Impenetrable Forest. The drive takes you through the beautiful Ishasha sector, famous for its tree-climbing lions. Keep your eyes on the branches; you might spot one napping high above. Arrive at your lodge near Bwindi and settle in for a good night’s rest.

Day 6

Journey to Bwindi Impenetrable Forest

Day 7

Gorilla Trekking Adventure

This is the day you’ve been waiting for! After an early breakfast, you’ll head into Bwindi’s dense forest with experienced rangers. The trek might take a few hours, but the reward is worth it: standing face-to-face with a family of mountain gorillas. Watch as they interact, play, and care for their young. It’s a humbling and magical experience that words can’t fully describe.
Bid farewell to Bwindi and begin your journey back to Kampala. Take in the last sights of Uganda’s vibrant countryside. Depending on your flight schedule, you’ll have time for some souvenir shopping or a quick city tour. Your guide will ensure you reach the airport on time, filled with incredible memories of your safari adventure.

Day 8

Return to Kampala & Departure
