Depart from Kampala or Entebbe for a scenic drive to Kibale Forest National Park, renowned for having one of the highest diversity and concentration of primates in Africa.

Arrive in Kibale in the late afternoon and settle into your lodge, preparing for the next day’s chimpanzee tracking adventure.

Witness these incredible primates as they go about their daily lives: foraging, playing, and interacting with each other. After the trek, travel to Queen Elizabeth National Park. Upon arrival, enjoy a relaxing boat cruise on the Kazinga Channel, where you can see a wide array of wildlife, including hippos, crocodiles, and a rich variety of birds.
Start the day with a morning game drive in Queen Elizabeth National Park, searching for lions, elephants, leopards, and Uganda kobs in their natural habitats. After the game drive, continue the journey to Bwindi Impenetrable National Park, arriving in the evening. Rest and recharge at your lodge in preparation for the next day’s gorilla trek.
Embark on a memorable gorilla trekking experience in Bwindi, where you will spend time observing these magnificent creatures in their natural setting. Depending on your interests, the afternoon is set aside to either visit the Batwa Pygmies, indigenous forest people who have lived in and around the forest for centuries, or the Pangolin Rescue Center, where you can learn about conservation efforts for one of Africa’s most endangered species.
After breakfast, embark on the journey back to Kampala or Entebbe, with a heart full of unforgettable memories of the primates, wildlife, and people of Uganda. Reflect on the incredible experiences as you pass through the beautiful Ugandan countryside, stopping for lunch en route.
