It’s one of the best safaris in Uganda. 5 days Gorilla and chimpanzee safari allow
you to encounter the two top primate species in Uganda. The trip highlights the
trek for chimpanzees in Kibale National Park and Gorilla trekking in Bwindi
Impenetrable National Park.
Day 1: We start the trip from Entebbe International Airport
Transfer to Kibale National Park -the home of 13 primate species including chimpanzees, Vervet monkeys, Red-tailed Monkey, Olive Baboon, Blue monkeys, grey-checked
Mangabeys and so on. Dinner and overnight at Primate Lodge Kibale, Chimpundu
Lodge, Turaco Treetops Lodge, or Mountains of the Moon Hotel.
Day 2: Chimpanzee tracking in Kibale Forest
We shall start the day with a briefing, then briefing at 7:30 by ranger guides. Thereafter, walk into the jungle to encounter one of the habituated chimpanzee troops. Chimpanzee trekking is less strenuous compared to Gorilla trekking so, elders worry not. When you meet chimpanzees, open your eyes wide to see, open your mind to study, and set your
cameras to take snaps. Return to your safari lodge with great memories, relax, and
wait for dinner and overnight.
Day 3: Drive to Bwindi Impenetrable National Park
It’s the major home for Uganda’s Mountain Gorillas with 19 habituated gorilla families scattered in the Buhoma sector, Rushaga Sector, Ruhija sector, and Nkuringo sectors – sub-divided in Bwindi Forest.
The journey will take you via the Mountains of the Moon “Mt.Rwenzori” with clear views of the slopes and Mt. peaks. Drive via Queen Elizabeth National Park (the second largest park in Uganda) to see some animals on the way proceed to the Ishasha sector to encounter the tree-climbing lions.
Reach Bwindi Impenetrable National Park for Lunch, relax, and wait for dinner and overnight at Sanctuary Gorilla Forest Camp Uganda, Nkuringo Bwindi Gorilla Lodge,
Chameleon Hill Lodge, Lake Mutanda Resort, or Rushaga Gorilla Camp.
Day 4: Gorilla Tracking in Bwindi Forest
Lifetime even is none other than Gorilla trekking in Uganda. Believe me, its adventure to search for the mountain Gorillas in their natural habitat. When you meet Gorillas, take photos, observe them while doing their daily activities and so on. Return to your accommodation for relaxation and wait for dinner and overnight.
Day 5: Drive at leisure back to Entebbe International Airport
