On your way to Queen Elizabeth National Park, you stop at the equator in Masaka town. At this point, there are two cement circles marking the equator line – it is worth stopping if you are for a photo moment. Also watch a demonstration by locals on how water swirls in opposite directions in the northern and southern hemispheres at the equator line. Another reason that make equator worthwhile stop are the great shopping bargains. There are several craft shops and art galleries run by individuals and organizations which sell souvenirs and handmade products.
After early breakfast, you will catch up with the early risers as your driver takes you for a morning game drive. It is an amazing experience to have the chance to spot wild animals such as tree climbing lions, buffaloes, Uganda kob (Uganda’s national antelope), elephants, hippos, leopards, waterbucks, warthogs and many others. After an excellent drive, you will return to your lodge for relaxation. After lunch, you will go for an amazing launch cruise on Kazinga Channel where you will have exciting and unforgettable memories spotting wildlife including buffaloes, big herds of elephants, many beautiful birds as well as beautiful scenery. This boat provides a magnificent platform for photograph taking and game viewing. As you retire from the boat cruise, you will drive back to the hotel for your dinner.
Today after your relaxed breakfast, you embark on your journey to Buhoma, a location near the Bwindi Impenetrable National Park, famous for the rare mountain gorillas. The journey takes four hours and the drive to the park is incredibly scenic, passing through various local villages and the lush green countryside and hills which characterize so much of south western Uganda. The forest is one of the richest ecosystems in Africa and the diversity of species is a feature of the park. It provides habitat for some 120 species of mammals, 348 species of birds, 220 species of butterflies, 27 species of frogs, chameleons, geckos and many endangered species. Floristically, Bwindi is among the most diverse forests in East Africa, with more than 1,000 flowering plant species including 163 species of trees and 104 species of ferns.
After breakfast, along with your packed lunch, you will report to the park premises for registration by 8:00am and be briefed by Uganda Wildlife Authority ranger guides. You will then start to trek through the bumpy bushes in search for the amazing gorillas. There is also a good chance of seeing other species like birds, monkeys, chimpanzees, beautiful butterflies among others. The trek could take 1-8 hours depending on the luck of the day. Once you come across these interesting creatures, it is a really an exciting experience watching them protest or play with each other and its really a special moment being with these fabulous human-like primates. The time allowed to be with these gorillas in Uganda is one hour and every minute of the experience is worth the time you spend in search for them. As you retire from the forest, you could take an optional activity like visiting the pygmies or you can relax at the lodge.
Today is the last day of your trip! After your breakfast, begin the journey back to Kampala as you view the beautiful scenery along the way. You will have lunch en-route (not inclusive) and proceed with another stop over at the equator for the water experiment if missed it on the first day of your trip. Continue to Kampala and your driver will drop you at your accommodation.
