Entebbe

Upon arrival in Entebbe, you are met by our representative and transferred to your tranquil hotel fronting Africa’s largest lake. Enjoy the remainder of the day at your leisure. Lake Victoria Serena Golf Resort & Spa is a vision of charming Mediterranean architecture with pastel colour palettes and lush, green fairways overlooking the sparkling waters of Africa’s largest lake. With its terraced rose gardens, rustic bridges, arched pool terrace, and shaded colonnades, this privileged enclave feels more like a Tuscan hillside village than a five-star golf resort and spa on the outskirts of Kampala.

Bwindi National Park

Wake up very early in the morning for breakfast and then hike to the park headquarters for a briefing by the park ranger on how you need to conduct yourself in front of the gorillas. At 8:30 am, begin hiking along well-established trails in the forest. Gorilla tracking is a strenuous exercise but the joy you experience after encountering the gorillas is overwhelming. The time taken to encounter these apes ranges from an hour to several hours, depending on their movement in the jungle.

Masai Mara

Spend the full day in Masai Mara with morning and afternoon game drives and all meals at the camp.

The Masai Mara National Reserve houses a wide range of animal species. The most recognized are known worldwide as the African Big 5 which includes the African elephant, Cape buffalo, rhinoceros, leopard, and the king of the beasts, the lion. The term Big 5 was coined by big-game hunters as these species were the most difficult and dangerous to track and hunt. Subsequently, the term was adopted by the tourism industry for marketing purposes, spinning a web of positivity as opposed to the negative effect portrayed by the original terminology. Numerous other species of birds and wildlife inhabit this dynamic location including hyenas, gazelles, impalas, giraffes, zebras, vultures, cranes, eagles, falcons, and ostriches.
