Description

Expect chimp trekking in Kyambura Gorge plus a boat trip on Kazinga for a Big 5 encounter. Incredible sightings of the tree-climbing lions in Ishasha. Enjoy eye contact with the giant mountain gorilla
Day 1: Transfer to Queen Elizabeth NP
You will be picked up by your Driver/Guide who will brief you about your tour and then depart for Queen Elizabeth NP. This park is understandably Uganda’s most popular tourist destination. The park’s diverse ecosystems, which include sprawling savanna, shady, humid forests, sparkling lakes, and fertile wetlands, make it the ideal habitat for classic big game, ten primate species including chimpanzees, and over 600 species of birds.
You will stop for lunch en route then proceed into the beautiful Queen Elizabeth: one of Uganda’s most outstanding treasures. Time permitting, you may proceed for an evening game drive.

Day 2: Chimp tracking & Boat trip
Proceed for the Chimpanzee tracking in the Kyambura gorge, it is home to habituated Chimpanzees plus other primates including Baboons, Monkeys, and also bird species. The gorge is 1 km long and 100 meters deep. Kyambura landscape drained by Kyambura River is one of the most impressive topography in Queen. After lunch, you will go for a two-hour launch trip on the Kazinga Channel which connects Lakes George and Edward and you will surely be fascinated by the concentrations of giant hippos, elephants, and crocodiles among others. You will also see many varieties of birds on the water shores.
Day 3: Transfer to Bwindi
You will set off through the Ishasha sector of Queen Elizabeth famously known for its resident tree-climbing lions. The chance of spotting these lions is about 70% though sometimes they are hard to spot (especially when they’re down in the grassland looking for prey). Hoping you get the chance to spot them, the sight will be spectacular!
Proceed to Bwindi, a big habitat for mountain gorillas in Uganda; harboring roughly half of the world’s population, including several habituated groups. Its mist-covered hillsides are blanketed by one of Uganda’s oldest and most biologically diverse rainforests, which dates back over 25,000 yrs & contains 400 species of plants. With a strenuous day ahead, you will do less on arrival but just check in your accommodation, and relax as you prepare for the Bwindi gorilla trekking experience the following day.

Day 4: Go gorilla trekking in Bwindi
You will enter the gorilla sanctuary for your adventure. The beauty of this rainforest is spectacular! The area offers a dramatic steeply forested landscape and is incredibly dense, but crisscrossed by numerous animal trails allowing access to tourists. The thrill of observing these gentle and endangered giants is an awesome, exciting experience to be long-savored.
Then transfer to Lake Bunyonyi -framed by lush, green-terraced hills & 29 islands of various shapes and sizes scattered across the water making it most magical you could admire them all day.
Day 5: Transfer to Entebbe/Kampala.
Have a relaxed breakfast at the accommodation with the spectacular view of the Bunyonyi little islands just right in front of you and after that embark on your return journey to Entebbe Airport
