7-Day Uganda Primate and Wildlife Safari with Gorilla Trekking

• A representative from the airport will pick you up. After breakfast, we drive west, taking in the scenic views as we head to Fort Portal, a beautiful town nestled in the shadow of the "Mountains of the Moon." Enjoy a short respite in this charming town before moving on to the idyllic formations of the crater lakes. From Fort Portal, we set a course for the thriving forest of Kibale National Park, where we turn in for the night at our booked safari lodge.

• The beautiful morning opens with a game drive to seek out various animals; this is a great opportunity for wildlife sightings, as animals tend to be more active in the morning hours. We return from our adventure in the beautiful savannah to some much-needed relaxation and lunch before we head out on an afternoon boat cruise along the Kazinga Channel. Hippos, crocodiles, and other mammals, reptiles, and birds congregate at the shores in the afternoon heat; hence, they are clearly viewed here.

• After breakfast, we set out for a briefing at the park offices, where we are allocated gorilla tracking groups and given tips in preparation for a close encounter with the gentle giants. Guided by an experienced tracker, we begin a challenging trek through Bwindi Impenetrable Forest; it may take minutes or hours of pushing through vegetation before we set our eyes on a colossal dominant silverback male and his group.
• Upon return from the deep forest, you will receive your gorilla tracking certificate, and later, after refreshing at the lodge, set out for a community walk, a charming experience with the local people and a closer look into their culture.
