The Ultimate Mountain Gorilla Trekking and transfer to Lake Bunyonyi

Morning: Fuel up with an early breakfast and grab your packed lunch. Report to the park headquarters for a safety briefing by Uganda Wildlife Authority rangers. You will be assigned a gorilla family and head into the thick jungle.

The trek can take 2 to 6 hours depending on where the gorillas slept, but looking into the eyes of a Giant Silverback for one full hour is a life-changing reward.

Afternoon: Hike back out of the forest, receive your official gorilla trekking graduation certificate, and meet your guide. We take a scenic 2-hour drive out of the mountains down to Lake Bunyonyi, Africa's second-deepest lake

Evening: Check into your lakeside resort and relax your tired muscles with stunning views of the 29 islands.

Lake Bunyonyi Island Exploration and transfer to Lake Mburo National Park

Optionally, board a traditional motorized dugout canoe to explore the historic islands, including Punishment Island and Sharp's Island, learning about their fascinating local folklore.
After the boat cruise, head straight to the car and set off for Lake Mburo National Park. Lunch enroute will be organized by our experienced guide.

Arrive at your lodge in the afternoon and relax. Late in the evening, embark on an evening game drive in Uganda's most beautiful savannah national park in search for giraffes, more buffalos, leopards, zebras and many more.
