Marvel at the stunning palace of Tooro Kingdom, the Karambi Royal Tombs, local shops, and the iconic mosque before driving on to Kibale, only a couple of miles ahead. On arrival, check into your accommodations at Kibale Forest Camp.

Learn about chimpanzees, baboons, black-and-white colobus monkeys, and the native blue monkey. Kibale National Park hosts the largest number of primates in the whole of East Africa.

Have a walk in the afternoon to discover primates on the way to Kanyanchu River Camp. This is the most popular of all walks inside the park. View diverse forest flora and a number of wild animals before heading back to the lodge for dinner and your overnight stay.

Day 2: Chimpanzee Trekking and Transfer to Queen Elizabeth National Park

Enjoy a guided nature walk in the tropical rainforest in search of the chimpanzee, red-tailed monkey, black-and-white colobus monkey, and many others.

Upon sighting the chimpanzees, you will spend an unforgettable hour watching them go about their daily life — feeding, playing, grooming, taking care of their young, howling and screeching, all in their natural habitat.

After the trek, drive to Queen Elizabeth National Park. See the mystical Rwenzori Mountain Range as you make the journey. Eat lunch and enjoy an en-route game drive during the afternoon.

Arrive at Kazinga Channel for a sundown boat cruise and see this natural waterway between Lake Edward and Lake George. Catch unbelievable views of abundant birdlife, elephants, buffaloes, and schools of hippos cooling off at the shores.

Enjoy dinner and a good night’s sleep at your lodge before the next day’s morning adventure.
