5-Day Uganda Wildlife and Trekking Safari with Gorillas and Chimps

• Early pickup from the hotel or airport by your safari driver-guide, followed by departure for your amazing journey to Kibale Forest National Park. You will have a lunch stopover in Fort Portal Town and later continue to Kibale Forest.
• In the evening, go for the Bigodi Swamp primate walk or the Bigodi community walk. The Bigodi community walk leads you to the homes of the local communities who live near the park.
• During this village walk, you will be escorted by a resident with ample information about the culture and norms of different people and their tribes. It is a door-to-door village tour where you will visit schools and churches. This walk will expose you to village life, especially in the remote areas.
• Return to your lodge for dinner and an overnight stay.

Meals included - Breakfast, Lunch, Dinner

Mid-range Lodge: Chimpanzee Forest Lodge or Kibale Forest Camp

• After an early cup of coffee, and with your packed breakfast and lunch boxes, you will be driven to the starting point or park offices, where you may be joined by other clients for a briefing on the day's adventure and assigned a local ranger guide for your day's activity. Habituation is usually up to 6 people in a group per ranger guide. There are approximately 4,950 chimps left in the wild, of which Kibale Forest is home to over 1,470 chimpanzees, making it a perfect place to spot them. This activity is a whole-day experience that takes you through the day-to-day lifestyle of a chimpanzee.
• You are expected to de-nest and nest with the chimps and follow them through their day's activities. Other primates you may see include Red-tailed Monkey, Red Colobus, Grey-cheeked Mangabeys, Olive Baboon, and Black-and-white Colobus, among others. You may also encounter other forest mammals such as duikers, forest elephants, and various bird species during the walk.
• You will then return to your accommodation for an early dinner and overnight stay.

Dinner and overnight

Meals included - Breakfast, Lunch, Dinner

Mid-range Lodge: Bakiga Lodge

• The highlight of your safari is meeting the gentle giants of Bwindi. Expect to walk in steep and muddy conditions, sometimes with rain overhead, before you encounter any gorillas. But it will be worthwhile as you observe them closely while they eat, play, and rest. A unique and unforgettable experience.
• Upon return, you may opt to go for an evening village community visit before dinner and your overnight stay.

Meals included - Breakfast, Lunch, Dinner

Mid-range Lodge: Bakiga Lodge

• Today, wake up to a leisurely breakfast and prepare for yet another adventure around the Kisoro area as you visit the indigenous Batwa people. The Batwa are Uganda's marginalized people and are viewed with disdain by many Ugandan nationals. They have sustained their lives across generations through hunting and gathering in the forest.
• The visit to the Batwa invariably involves songs and a dance demonstration, and once the music begins, you cannot help but notice the genuine pride they project in themselves.
• You shall then return to the lodge for lunch and afterward transfer back to Kigali for your late evening flight, or relax in Kigali as you prepare for the next day's flight back home.
