Six activities will be completed, along with three destinations. The following national parks are recommended: Lake Mburo for a boat cruise and game drive; Bwindi Impenetrable for gorilla trekking and a Batwa cultural experience; Queen Elizabeth for a boat cruise, tree climbing, lion trekking, and game drive; and Nyambura Gorge for chimpanzee trekking. You will stay in amazing lodges, take part in photography, and travel in the finest safari vans under the direction of an expert driver-guide. Entebbe/Kampala is where the safari begins and ends.

Detailed Trip

Day 1: pickup and Transfer to Lake Mburo National Park

Our driver guide will greet and give you a warm welcome to Uganda, the Pearl of Africa, where you will spend your upcoming eight-day vacation. After receiving a briefing on what to expect during the journey, you will set out for Lake Mburo National Park. It takes about four to five hours to get there, during which time there will be some traffic jams and bustling vendors selling roasted meat and other regional foods. The driver’s guide’s narratives will make the distance in half. Following your arrival, you will check into your lodge where you can rest and have lunch. You will spend the evening visiting the Igongo Cultural Center, where you will learn about Western Ugandan culture.

Day 2: Game drive and boat cruise at Lake Mburo

At the lodge, you can fuel up for the day with a hearty breakfast. Take a 3–4-hour game drive around the savannah park after that. Zebras, Impalas, warthogs, elephants, cape Buffaloes, and other animals rule Lake Mburo. For bird enthusiasts, this will be the ideal opportunity to identify the various species of birds in the park, including eagles, crested cranes, geese, turacos, and more, before lunch. After lunch, you’ll go on a boat ride that lasts for around two to three hours, during which you can observe animals like crocodiles, hippos, and, on a lucky day, shoebill stock. The remaining two events on the schedule are dinner and overnight.

Day 3: Lake Mburo NP to Bwindi Impenetrable National Park

Wakeup relaxed for breakfast and thereafter, you will hit the road to Bwindi Impenetrable national park; a 5–7-hour drive with an enroute stopover for Lunch and site seeing. The smooth ride offers great view of the rolling hills, plantations, Ankole long horned cattle, and the busy towns. You will arrive, check-in to the lodge for dinner and overnight.

Day 4: Gorilla trekking

As you meet your cousins the gorillas in their natural home, greet today with a big smile. The course of the activity is as follows. For the body’s energy, start with a hearty meal. A pre-trek briefing will follow at the park headquarters. The ranger guides will verify the travel documents, go over the dos and don’ts of trekking, then assign a gorilla group to trek. This takes around 30 minutes. The hunt for the apes comes next. Depending on how far the apes have traveled, this might last anywhere from one to seven hours. At that time, you can spend an hour watching the calm silverback, the moms nursing their infants, the young stars playing, skipping from one tree branch to another, and other things. After taking a lunch break, you’ll head back to the lodge for some refreshments.

The remainder of the day can be spent relaxing in the hotel gardens or meeting the Batwa pygmies, who are among the shortest people on earth. Take in the traditional tales of their life as hunters and wonders, sense the atmosphere of the culture, and gain more knowledge. Dinner and bedtime bring an end to this day.

Day 5: Bwindi impenetrable National Park to Queen Elizabeth NP-tree climbing Lion Trekking

You will check out of the lodge following a delectable breakfast meal there and travel to Queen Elizabeth National Park through the Ishasha area. You will have lunch and go on a one-hour tree-climbing lion trek in the Ishasha region. You might run into a lion resting around at a tree branch while watching this game. But it will only be Luck Day. Yet, there are still some additional animals and birds to see. After dinner, you will head to the lodge to check in, unwind, and turn in for the night.

Day 6: Game drive and Boat cruise

Start your day off properly at the lodge with a delicious breakfast dish. Today’s first task is a game drive. This lasts for roughly 3–4 species, after which you should be aware that, despite the presence of the animals, birds, and plants, crossing them off your wish list requires luck because the wilderness is unfenced and the creatures are free to move. A few of the animals mentioned are lions, African elephants, cape buffaloes, warthogs, Ugandan Kobs, cranes, and waterbuck. Lunch will be served after the game drive.

A 2- to 3-hour boat tour along the Kazinga waterway will be the final activity of the day. While you observe the hippos, crocodiles, and aquatic birds and take in the tranquil Lake Breeze, this helps to quiet your mind. The day ends with dinner and a peaceful nap.

Day 7: chimpanzee trekking At Kyambura gorge

After a hearty breakfast at the lodge at dawn, you’ll proceed to the park headquarters for a briefing on the next walk that lasts for around 30 minutes. Following that, the following hours are spent hiking your meals with the chimpanzees. The workout lasts between one and four hours and takes place in a lush underground forest with the possibility of seeing other primates. Baboons, olive monkeys, white-and-black Columbus monkeys, and other animals are just a few of the numerous species. You will spend an additional hour learning about chimpanzee life and why they are regarded as Man’s ancestors after finding the apes. After that is over, you will return to the lodge for lunch, then go on a 3-hour game drive at dusk in the hopes of seeing some of the park’s nocturnal inhabitants. The final activities of the day are dinner and bedtime.

Day 8: Queen to Kampala

You will check out of the lodge following a morning breakfast and go for a transfer to Entebbe International Airport or Kampala City. You will stop for lunch en route to the equator, where you can also take in some exhibits that show where the line between the northern and southern hemispheres is located.
