Key Highlights of the Trip
Key Highlights of the Trip
Uganda
Seven days through Uganda's top wildlife parks — gorilla safari, chimpanzee trekking, and savannah game drives in a private small-group format.
Entebbe – Arrival & Botanical Garden
Your guide meets you at Entebbe Airport and transfers you to your hotel. The afternoon is free for a visit to the Entebbe Botanical Garden or the nearby zoo — a gentle introduction to Uganda's natural setting before the main route begins. Meals included: lunch, dinner.
Entebbe – Kibale Forest National Park
After breakfast the drive heads west, roughly 6 hours, to Kibale Forest National Park — one of Uganda's most important protected areas at 795 km². If time allows on arrival, a short walk into the Bigodi Wetland Sanctuary is possible to spot birds and primates. This is the start of the chimpanzee trekking kibale portion of the route. Meals included: breakfast, lunch, dinner.
Kibale Chimp Trek – Queen Elizabeth NP
An early morning enters the forest for chimpanzee trekking alongside park rangers who have habituated the chimps to human presence. The session requires patience but delivers close, unhurried observation. After lunch at the lodge, the group drives on to Queen Elizabeth National Park, Uganda's largest UNESCO-listed park at nearly 2,000 km². Meals included: breakfast, lunch, dinner.
Queen Elizabeth National Park Safari
A full-day queen elizabeth national park safari begins with a morning game drive across open savannah where buffalo, elephants, hippos, and leopards are regularly sighted — lions too, when conditions allow. The afternoon moves to the Kazinga Channel for a boat safari: water birds, bathing elephants, and hippos at close range line the banks of this natural channel linking Lakes Edward and George. Meals included: breakfast, lunch, dinner.
Questions about the tour itinerary?
Our tour guide is happy to answer any questions about the day-by-day route, stops, and details.
Ishasha Tree-Climbing Lions – Bwindi NP
After breakfast the route continues south into the Ishasha sector of Queen Elizabeth National Park, one of the few places in Africa where lions regularly climb fig trees. The drive is weather-dependent but the area itself is remote and scenic. A picnic lunch is served before the final leg to Bwindi Impenetrable National Park, arriving late afternoon. Meals included: breakfast, lunch, dinner.
Gorilla Trekking Bwindi – Cultural Visit
This is the core day of the gorilla safari. An early briefing at park headquarters covers behaviour rules before rangers lead the group into the forest in search of a habituated gorilla family. The gorilla trekking bwindi session can take several hours depending on where the family has moved, but the permitted hour spent with the gorillas is the centrepiece of this gorilla trekking africa itinerary. The afternoon may include a visit to a cultural dance centre run by local youth. Meals included: breakfast, lunch, dinner. Please confirm your gorilla group allocation with the operator before departure.
Bwindi – Return to Entebbe
An early departure begins the return drive to Entebbe, retracing the route past the landscapes that defined the week. The transfer goes directly to the airport or to a hotel if your departure flight is the following morning. This closes the uganda gorilla safari loop — 7 days, 4 national parks, two primate permits, and one boat safari. Meals included: breakfast, lunch, dinner.
