Day 11

Walking Safari, Lake Mburo NP - Kampala

Walking Safari, Lake Mburo NP - Kampala

After an early morning Breakfast, there will be a walking safari. Experiencing Africa's wilderness areas is integral to most of our trips, and there's no better way than on foot. Walking safaris in Africa are completely different to game drives – being on foot brings about a totally new way of understanding your surroundings. Walking safaris were the original safari and remain the purest form. Away from the comfort of the 4WD safari vehicle your senses suddenly awaken as the bush becomes more real. This is where humans evolved and experiencing the sounds and smells just as all our ancestors did can be profound. Encountering animals on their terms as a participant in their world can be far more rewarding than just spectating – few things are as humbling as meeting a wild buffaloes on foot. This will be followed by a transfer to Kampala/Entebbe marking the end of the 11 Day Uganda Gorilla Trekking & Wildlife Safari. End.
