Detailed Itinerary

Day 1: Drive to Bwindi Impenetrable Forest

Today very early morning our Safari guide from Africa Nature Trekkers will pick you right from your accommodation and transfer you to Bwindi Park located in southwestern Uganda.

During this long drive you make a number of stoppers including one at the Uganda equator where you will take pictures. Then another for lunch in Mbarara town – home of the Ankole long-horned cattle. You will continue with the drive past the beautiful hills, banana plantation and traditional homesteads as head to Bwindi park where you will arrive in the late evening.

You will dine and spend the Night at either:

Day 2: Gorilla Trekking in Bwindi forest & Batwa Cultural Walk

Today we shall enjoy one of the highlight activities on this 4 day safari. Early morning we shall have a quick cup of tea before transferring to the park headquarters where the park warden will brief us about the trekking guidelines.

By 8:00am you’ll set out into the forest in groups of eight people led by park rangers as well as guides. Don’t forget to wear strong hiking boots, carry a rain jacket, pack some water and a snack as well as get a walking stick. The time it will take to eventually meet the gorillas is quite unpredictable since it mainly depends on the mountain gorillas’ movement. Once you find them, you will be allowed to spend on hour in their midst observing them and taking pictures and video. Don’t miss out on the silverback – with its sheer size (approximated to weigh 350 pounds).

After wards you will head back to your accommodation to rest. There will be an optional cultural walk to the Batwa community where you will enjoy great traditional entertainment.

Dine and overnight at your accommodation

Day 3: Drive to Kibale National Park

Once you finish you breakfast we shall drive to Kibale National Park and there we shall have an opportunity to trek chimpanzees. During the drive you will enjoy the beautiful countryside scenery comprising of rolling terraced verdant hills plus traditional homesteads. Along the way you will make a couple of stopovers and also take pictures.  When you enter inside the park, you will set out for a nature walk right after checking into your accommodation.

Later dine and spend the night at your accommodation

Day 4: Chimpanzee Trekking, Drive to Kampala
