wildlife and gorilla trekking safari

day 1

Kampala - Lake Mburo National Park

Your driver guide reports to your hotel for the beginning of the adventure to Lake Mburo National Park. Road transfer to the national park with a stopover and visit to the equator, which passes through Uganda.

Lake Mburo National Park is the smallest national park in Uganda but has a lot to offer in terms of its hilly landscape and rich vegetation. The park is the only place in Uganda where you’re likely to see large herds of impala. The green acacia woodland harbors wildlife like zebra, warthog, and eland. Lake Mburo itself is home to hippos and crocodiles. After the game drive, return to the lodge for dinner and an overnight stay.

day 4

Lake Bunyonyi - Bwindi Impenetrable National Park

Have breakfast early in the morning and leave for Bwindi Impenetrable National Park. Reach in time at the park and start your gorilla trekking adventure from the point where you will be briefed about your trek. The trek begins from the site where gorillas were spotted a day before. The experienced gorilla trekkers guide you through the slopes and volcanoes of the park.

Bwindi Impenetrable National Park has 17 gorilla groups making it the best place to witness the gorillas in the wild. The tour gives you an opportunity to closely observe 90 mammal species and 11 primates, including the black and white colobus monkey.

The hike in the park can be physically demanding, but watching gorillas play, eat, rest and bond with their young ones is an incredible experience. Follow the mountain gorillas as they go freely in the impenetrable forest and discover their gorgeous natural habitat.

After your gorilla trekking safari tour, head back to the lodge. If your trek is relatively short, you can go for a guided nature walk around the lodge and the surrounding communities in the evening. Return to the lodge for dinner and an overnight stay.

Note:

Don’t forget to carry your rain gear, packed lunch, plenty of water, gloves, hat and waterproof bag for protection of your camera in case of rain.
