Tour Introduction

Experience Uganda in one amazing African week with our tour package. You will start from Kibale Forest National Park for a chimp walk, and continue to Queen Elizabeth National Park for the Big Five animals. Proceed to Bwindi Impenetrable National Park for gorilla tracking, and visit Lake Mburo National Park, a unique park with impalas and zebras.

ITINERARY

You have an early morning departure for the journey to Kibale Forest. We will pass close to Lake Albert. On a clear day, the view from the top of the Albert Rift is spectacular. In the afternoon, we will arrive at Kibale Forest, sleeping with the noises of the tropical rainforest.

At 8 am, we will start with the 4-hour chimp walk after the pre-briefing. In addition, 10 other primates can be seen. The park is also known for all its butterflies and birds. In the afternoon, you will take a walk through the Bigodi swamp where physical fitness is encouraged.

You have an early morning departure for Queen Elizabeth via Fort Portal. We reach Mweya at midday in Queen Elizabeth NP, with a stunningly beautiful view over the Kazinga Channel. On the program is a two-hour launch trip on the Kazinga Channel where we will see many animals from the waterside. In the late afternoon, we will go on a game drive.

In the morning, we leave for the south of Bwindi. For people who like to walk, the first 14 km is a stunningly beautiful walk along the lakeshore and on the hills. The road takes us through a beautiful landscape called the “Switzerland of Africa”. We pass mountains, hills and lakes with cultivated terraces, tropical rainforest and bamboo forest.

This is the day of gorilla tracking. At 7.45 am, you will be at the office of the Bwindi Impenetrable Forest for a pre-briefing and at 8.30 am, you will start the trek. After finding the gorillas, you will spend a maximum of 1 hour with them. All visitors are expected back at the starting point by 7 pm. Being physically fit is recommended.

Early in the morning, we will leave for Lake Mburo National Park. You will have lunch in Mbarara at the Igongo Cultural Center before you continue. Lake Mburo National Park is a smaller but unique park, and the only one in the western part of Uganda with impalas and zebras.

We will go for a game walk early in the morning. After a late breakfast, the last part of the journey will bring us back to Kampala or Entebbe Airport. We will stop in Masaka for lunch, and then continue with a stopover at the equator for a tea/coffee break and to buy souvenirs.
