4-Day Bwindi and Queen Elizabeth Wildlife Safari with Gorilla Trekking

• Transfer from Kampala/Entebbe to the Gorilla Sanctuary of Bwindi National Park, with lunch en route.

• Arrive in the evening and check in at your selected lodge, where you may either relax ahead of tomorrow's day-long gorilla safari or take a self-guided walk around the hotel.

Dinner and overnight.

• After an early breakfast at 7:00 am, with the help of our safari guide, you will depart for the park headquarters for a briefing by the park rangers before starting the gorilla trek through the steep, densely forested, and beautiful landscape of Bwindi Impenetrable Forest. The park has evergreen vegetation, which is very thick due to the frequent rains throughout the year.

• The true meaning of gorilla trekking is understood when you encounter these giant yet very gentle mountain gorillas. It is an amazing experience to watch gorillas feed and rest, see mothers with babies, and observe the acrobatic youths playing about.

Dinner and overnight at camp.

• Leave at 6:30 am and transfer to Queen Elizabeth National Park, arriving early and checking in at your hotel for lunch.

• After lunch, go for an afternoon boat cruise on the Kazinga Channel, which is an interesting experience. A variety of animals can be viewed from the boat, including different water birds such as the African skimmer, jacana, and the rare shoebill, among others.

• After enjoying the boat trip, transfer to your lodge with the help of our safari guide.

Dinner and overnight.

• In the morning, leave for a game drive. This is the best time to spot hyenas, lions, leopards, giant forest hogs, hippos returning to the rivers, huge herds of buffaloes and elephants, Uganda kobs, and crested cranes, among others.

• Return to your lodge for a late breakfast and collect a packed lunch to enjoy en route.

• Transfer back to Kampala with a stopover in Fort Portal or Mubende for lunch.

• Finally, drive to Kampala to catch your flight back home.
