Tracks Through the Wild

Depart Entebbe and travel west through lush countryside and small towns toward Kibale Forest, one of East Africa’s best primate habitats. Arrive by late afternoon and check in at your lodge near the forest. Enjoy views of crater lakes, tea plantations, and the distant Rwenzori Mountains.

Head into Kibale Forest with expert trackers for a guided chimpanzee trek. Follow their calls through the dense canopy until you find a habituated group. Spend an hour observing them up close—feeding, grooming, and interacting. Later, take an optional walk through Bigodi Swamp, rich in birds and local culture.

Travel to Queen Elizabeth National Park, known for its varied habitats and abundant wildlife. In the afternoon, cruise the Kazinga Channel, where elephants, hippos, buffalo, and crocodiles gather along the shores. Watch the birdlife soar as the sun lowers across the water.

Explore the Ishasha sector of Queen Elizabeth, famous for its rare tree-climbing lions. After a morning game drive, continue south to Bwindi Impenetrable Forest. The winding drive offers scenic views of terraced hills and remote villages. Arrive at your lodge near the forest for a quiet evening.

Rise early for your gorilla trek. After a briefing, follow guides into the forest to locate a gorilla family. Once found, spend a powerful hour in their presence. Later, meet members of the Batwa community—forest dwellers who share stories, music, and their deep connection to the land.

After breakfast, begin your return journey. Choose to fly back to Entebbe or drive across the border into Kigali, depending on your international flight. Optional stops en route may include local markets or craft centres. Depart with unforgettable memories of Uganda’s wildlife, rainforests, and warm hospitality.
