Arriving at Entebbe airport you will be warmly welcomed by a representative of Gorilla Link Tours, and transferred to your hotel. Depending on your time of arrival, you may visit the botanical gardens in Entebbe. Any activities you do today are to be paid by you.
Today, after an early breakfast, your guide will come to your hotel to brief you about the safari and will transfer you to Kibale National Park. The drive is incredibly scenic, passing through villages, lush green forests and hills dotted with tea plantations. You will stay at a wonderful lodge, with spacious rooms and amazing views over Kibale Forest.
Today you will wake up early to go to the park head offices for a briefing about your chimp tracking experience. Kibale Forest National park boasts the highest number of primate species in the world, including chimpanzees. Approximately 5,000 chimpanzees live in the wild in Uganda, which makes it the perfect place to see them. An experienced ranger will take you chimp tracking; you might also see other monkey species that live here. Once you locate the chimpanzees you will have a full hour of eye-to-eye contact with them. Since they are wild animals, we can never guarantee you will see them and you might have to settle with hearing their hoots and hollers.
In the afternoon after lunch, you will go for a guided swamp walk. The walk (2-3 hours) will take you through grassland, small communities and some beautiful scenery, where the locals are likely to greet you with enthusiastic waves. It is usual to spot three to four different primate species during this walk, though the highlight is catching a glimpse of the great blue turaco!
After breakfast, your guide will drive you to Queen Elizabeth National Park, Uganda’s second largest park, located at the base of the majestic Rwenzori Mountain range, adjacent to Lake Edward and Lake George. The park is home to a high concentration of Uganda’s mammals including tree climbing and savanna lions, elephants, warthogs, Uganda kobs, waterbucks and Cape buffalo. Lions are often sighted both in and at the entrance to the park. Be ready to see huge numbers of hippos and elephants, and keep your eyes on the look out for a leopard lazing in the sunshine. There are also more than 600 species of birds that include the African spoon bill, pied kingfishers, fish eagles, pelicans and vultures. In the late afternoon you will relax at the lodge. You stay overnight at the beautiful Mweya Safari Lodge, located in the heart of Queen Elizabeth National Park on the Mweya peninsula.
Today you wake up early and a little before sunrise coffee, tea and donuts will be served in the lounge before we head out for a long game drive in time to see the first rays of light. You will search for all the wildlife in the park and are likely to come across elephant, buffalo, lion, waterbuck, leopard, Uganda kob and many warthogs. A well-deserved brunch will be served back at the lodge in the late morning.
In the afternoon you will take a boat safari along the Kazinga Channel which joins Lake George and Lake Edward.
Here, you will see a lot of hippos (more than you can possibly imagine!), as well as a variety of other animals which come to the waterhole to drink or bathe. You can expect to see buffalo, crocodile, bathing elephant, and a range of beautiful birds. This will undoubtedly be one of the highlights of your tour.
After breakfast you will proceed to Bwindi Impenetrable Forest, home to mountain gorillas, arriving in time for lunch. Bwindi Impenetrable National Park is home to both mountain gorillas and chimpanzees – the only forest in Africa that can make this claim. It also hosts five other species of primates, 113 species of mammals, over 200 species of butterflies and 360 species of birds. The gorillas you track he next day are habituated and can tolerate the presence of humans for a brief period of time every day.
Today, after an early breakfast, you will be transferred to the park head quarters for your briefing about gorilla tracking. On the trek you will encounter one of Bwindi’s endangered mountain gorillas – for most people this is the absolute highlight of their tour in Uganda. The time taken to track the gorillas can be as few as 2 hours to as many as 7 hours. Once the gorillas have been located, your group will be allowed a maximum of one hour with them. Coming face-to-face with a mountain gorilla is a truly humbling and emotional experience. This is a fantastic and privileged opportunity to get up close and personal with Uganda’s very own ‘Gorillas in the Mist’.
After a very early breakfast at the lodge, you will be transferred to Kihihi airstrip for your domestic flight to Entebbe. You will be picked up and transferred to your hotel in Entebbe for a day room. You will check in and relax at your hotel and later you will be transferred to the airport for you onward flight.
