 Day 2: Gorilla Trekking (Bwindi Impenetrable National Park), Tracking the Mountain Gorillas and other primates.

 Today is the Uganda Gorilla trekking Safari adrenaline adventure day–gorilla trekking to meet the magnificent mountain gorillas.

After breakfast, proceed to the park headquarters by 7:00am for briefing about the gorilla’s life style and tracking guidelines.

Around 8:00 am we embark on the highlights of gorilla trekking safari, which may last for the entire day. We trek through the rain forest and bamboo covered slopes, accompanied by a park ranger, porters and other trackers, in search of a mountain gorilla family.

The walking can sometimes be tough and long, but when you catch a glimpse of the magnificent silverback, any discomforts will be quickly forgotten. When sighted, visitors will be guided to within 6 metres from the mountain gorillas, sit around them for a whole hour while gazing into their big round eyes, observing their behaviors and taking photos for the memorable experience.

It’s difficult to foresee how many hours you will hike, gorilla excursion can take from 2 up to 8 hours. Expect to walk along distance in steep and muddy conditions, sometimes with rain overhead, before you encounter any gorillas. A good physical condition is recommended. For conservation purposes, time spent with the gorillas is limited to one hour. A ranger will brief you on how to behave with the gorillas.

After this gorilla safari tour, you will descend back to the park headquarters were you will be awarded with gorilla trekking certificates for participation in gorilla trekking activities thus contributing in the  gorilla conservation.

In the evening you can relax around a campfire or take walk to Batwa pygmies the original forest dwellers who will demonstrate their living lifestyle and later retire to the lodge.

Day 3: Depart from the Gorilla Tracking Park, Drive to Queen Elizabeth National Park – Ishasha Sector (famous for tree-climbing lions)

After breakfast we drive through stunning savannah grasslands as we head to the southern sector of Queen Elizabeth National Park, Ishasha a much more remote and less-traveled part of Queen Elizabeth National Park, but one which has a sense of exclusivity and remoteness. The game densities here are high, and this region has reported some of the largest herds of Elephant anywhere in Uganda, as it are their main migration corridor between Uganda and the DRC.

As we enter the park, we do a game drive in search of the wild game. We continue and drive to the northern circuit which is the area near the main road known for its tree climbing lions. But we also visit the Uganda kob mating ground which is their preferred hunting area.

Accommodation option: Katara Lodge/Elephant Plains

Day 4: Game drive and Launch cruise Queen Elizabeth National Park and Kazinga Channel.

We set out early in the morning for a game drive in the northern part of the park on the Kasenyi Track in search of lions, elephants, solitary buffaloes. This is the best time for opportunities of viewing the cats
in action owing to the vast population of Uganda Kobs. We have an excellent chance to view just about every animal here at very close range. In the afternoon we will go for a launch trip along the Kazinga Channel. This gives you the opportunity to view wildlife up close: hippo’s huff and spray at a mere feet away from the boat, buffalo linger in the shallows. The shores of the channel are also home to an array of birds including pink backed pelicans, pied and malachite kingfishers, saddle billed stork and many others.

Accommodation option: Katara Lodge/Elephant Plains

 Day 5: Chimpanzee Tracking in Kyambura Gorge and there after we return to Kampala/ Entebbe.

Thereafter we head to Kampala with a stopover in fort-portal for lunch, it’s about 5 hours driving via Mubende. This route travels through breathtaking scenery and delightfully rolling plantations, some of the best in Uganda.

Depending on how much time we have on us we can tour around Kampala’s crafts and souvenirs markets before checking in at your hotel or being transferred to Entebbe airport.
