Morning Chimpanzee Trekking and Transfer to Queen Elizabeth National Park

You’ll start the day with chimpanzee trekking in Kibale Forest National Park, home to the highest concentration of primates in Africa. The park shelters over 1,500 chimpanzees, as well as several other species such as red colobus monkeys.
After a briefing from the park rangers, you’ll set off into the forest in search of a chimpanzee troop.
Once you find them, you’ll spend up to one unforgettable hour observing their behavior — watching them feed, play, and interact in their natural habitat.

After a day of trekking, you will transfer to Queen Elizabeth National Park. You will head to the Kazinga Channel for an afternoon boat safari. The Kazinga Channel is a natural waterway that connects Lake Edward and Lake George, which are both renowned for their rich diversity. During the boat safari, you can expect to see hippos, crocodiles, buffalos, and numerous bird species. Proceed with an late afternoon game drive before you go back to the lodge for dinner and overnight.

After your wildlife adventure, continue your journey south towards Bwindi Impenetrable National Park. As the scenery shifts from savannah to lush, terraced hills and dense rainforest, you’ll feel the anticipation build — Bwindi is the home of Uganda’s mountain gorillas and one of Africa’s most remarkable landscapes.

Morning Gorilla Trekking and Relaxing Lake Bunyonyi

The Highlight of your trip will be today- you’ll trek in Bwindi Impenetrable Forest — home to nearly half of the world’s remaining mountain gorillas. After a short briefing, you'll set off with your guide into the forest to track one of the habituated gorilla families. Once located, you’ll spend one unforgettable hour observing them up close — playing, moving through the trees, and interacting with each other in their natural environment. Eye to eye with an impressive silverback-
that experience that leaves a lasting impression.
After the trek, you will drive to Lake Bunyonyi for relaxing and viewing the islands and watching the birds.

Return to Entebbe or Kampala

You'll start your day at Lake Bunyonyi, one of the most beautiful and serene spots in Uganda. Surrounded by terraced hills and dotted with 29 small islands, this lake is Africa’s second deepest — and completely free of crocodiles and hippos, making it ideal for a peaceful experience.
For guests with a late-night flight, an optional canoe trek offers a final bit of adventure and a chance to explore the lake more closely or you will meet the Batwa Tribe.
Afterwards, you'll begin your scenic drive back to Entebbe, arriving in the late afternoon or early evening. We wish you a wonderful journey home or a longer stay in the capital. We can’t wait to welcome you back to Uganda for another unforgettable adventure!
