The South Western part of Uganda hosts the enormous and misty Bwindi impenetrable forest that stretches over a formation of various steep mountains. This forest is home to families of mountain gorillas that we will be privileged to come in live contact within our 7-day adventure. Our expedition will bring us into the homes of energetic chimps in Kibale forest and draw us to the most visited park in Uganda, Queen Elizabeth National Park.

Itineraries
Day 1
Enroute Fort Portal from Kampala
After our breakfast in Kampala, we head west to Fort Portal, a town resting on the foothills of the Rwenzori Mountain. We encounter beautiful views and enjoy a mini tour in this charming town. From Fort Portal, we set a course for the thriving forest of Kibale National Park, where we turn in for the night at our booked safari lodge.
Day 2
Chimpanzee Tracking- Kibale Forest National Park
This marvelous Kibale Forest holds the widest variety and highest concentration of primates in East Africa. On a guided nature walk, we encounter wild chimpanzees, red-tailed monkeys, black-and-white colobus monkeys and more. We return to our lodge for lunch and later set out to Bigodi Swamp, an ideal place for bird lovers. After a satisfying day of exploration, we return to our lodge in time for dinner
Day 3
Crater Lakes Tour- Enroute Queen Elizabeth National Park
We check out of our lodge and head out for a brief tour at Lake Nkuruba, where we will see magnificent views of the vibrant crater lakes, cradled in vegetation and gentle hills. After lunch, we head toward the popular Queen Elizabeth National Park just in time for an evening game drive. We hope to see warthogs, buffalo, waterbucks and elephants before checking in for a night.
Day 4
Queen Elizabeth National Park; Game Drive, Boat Cruise
Our morning starts with a game drive. This is a great opportunity for wildlife sightings as animals tend to be more active in the wee hours. Be on the look for bushbucks, elephants, lions, hippos, buffalos and many more. After a thorough game drive we head out on an afternoon boat cruise along the Kazinga Channel. Hippos, crocodiles, and other mammals, reptiles, and birds congregate at the shores in the afternoon heat. After our boat cruise, we return to our lodge for dinner and a night over.
Day 5
Enroute Bwindi Impenetrable Forest National Park via Ishasha
We depart from Queen Elizabeth, taking a chance to set eyes on the tree climbing lions of Ishasha. We cross stunning landscapes to reach Bwindi National Park, where we will seek out another rare creature, the Mountain Gorilla.
Day 6
Gorilla Trekking - Bwindi Impenetrable National Park
After breakfast, we set out for a briefing at the park offices where we are allocated gorilla tracking groups and given tips in preparation for a close encounter with the gorillas. Guided by an experienced tracker, we brave a challenging trek through Bwindi Impenetrable Forest; it may take minutes or hours of pushing through vegetation before we set our eyes on a dominant silverback male and his group.
Upon return from the deep forest, you will receive your gorilla tracking certificate, and later, after refreshing at the lodge, set out for a community walk, a charming experience with the local people and a closer look into their culture.
Day 7
End of Trip - Return to Kampala
After an adventurous seven-day trip, we check out of the lodge and begin our journey to a preferred drop off point in Kampala/Entebbe. Our first stop will be in Mbarara for lunch and last stop at the Uganda Equator for pictures and shopping for various souvenirs or gifts for friends and family.
