4-Day Uganda Wildlife Safari from Kigali with Gorilla Trekking

• Pick up by your safari guide from your hotel in Kigali or Kigali Airport, depending on your arrival time. Proceed to Bwindi Impenetrable Forest in Uganda.

Dinner and overnight will be at the lodge of booking.

• Have an early morning breakfast and move to the park headquarters to join other trackers for a briefing about the gorilla trekking rules at 7:00 am.

• Trek through thick creepers and undergrowth with your Ugandan guides to find the gorillas, which can take 2-8 hours. The steeply forested landscape is incredibly dense but crisscrossed by numerous animal trails that allow access to tourists.

• Spend one hour with the gorillas, observing them at close range as they feed, communicate, play, and bond with their young. The experience is quite humbling and one that will leave you with memories of a lifetime.

• Return to your lodge for lunch and, if not exhausted, set out for a guided walking safari around the club.

• Alternatively, you can interact with the local communities to learn about their forest-based activities, traditions, and lifestyles.

Dinner and overnight will be at your lodge of booking.

• After breakfast, drive to Queen Elizabeth National Park through the beautiful scenery of this part of the country, characterized by gigantic hills and steep valleys of volcanic origin covered with lush vegetation dotted with gardens and homesteads.

• Enter the national park through the southern part of the park, the Ishasha sector, renowned for the tree-climbing lions, which, if you are lucky, can be seen hanging on fig tree branches to cool off.

• Eat lunch at one of the lodges before continuing to the center of the park for an afternoon boat cruise along the Kazinga Channel to enjoy, at close range, the profusion of water animals and birds.

• Later in the evening, go for an evening game drive, where you can expect to see buffaloes, lions, elephants, and other wildlife in their natural habitat.

Dinner and overnight will be at the lodge of your booking.
