Gorilla & Chimpanzee Lodge Safari

Itinerary

Day 1 Kampala

A modern city, Kampala is developing rapidly after years of turbulence. There's free time this evening to kick back at one of the many friendly watering holes around the city, or to browse the local markets and malls.

Days 2-3 Queen Elizabeth National Park

A cruise along the Kazinga Channel offers a close look at hippos wallowing in the mud. Enjoy a game drive through the park in search of elephants, buffaloes, leopards and lions. Afterwards, appreciate the wild beauty of the area from Baboon Cliff, before heading to the captivating landscape of the crater lakes. Created by volcanic activity thousands of years ago, these bodies of water attract hundreds of different species of birds.

Days 4-5 Gorilla Trek/Rwanda

Journey to Rwanda's green heart, a highly fertile mountain region. Against a backdrop of volcanic peaks, the thick jungle-like hilltops are incredibly beautiful. Accompanied by a guide and trackers, hike through the forest searching for a family. Bring lots of water because the trek to see the extremely rare mountain gorillas is strenuous. However the sight of these intelligent creatures, so similar to humans, makes the hard going completely worth it. The placid creatures will captivate you with their human-like behaviour and big brown eyes. When not tracking gorillas, enjoy walks into the steamy rainforests to see the other creatures that call it home.

Day 6 Lake Bunyoni

We travel to picturesque Lake Bunyoni.

Day 7 Kampala

The adventure comes full circle on return to Entebbe.
