5 Days Queen Elizabeth Safari

Depart from Kampala at 8:00am and head towards western Uganda for Queen Elizabeth national park located in the foothills of the Mountains of the moon. This is one of the great mountain ranges of the world in Western Uganda. As you continue to the park, you may see different animals and birds given that the park is home to roughly 100 mammals and 606 bird species.

Take an early excursion to Kyambura gorge to track the fast moving and elusive chimpanzees. Though seeing these mobile chimpanzees is un predictable, the walk is wonderful given the different features of the forest. Alternatively, we visit the Maramagambo Forest where you will see the bat cave, the blue lake and several primates. In the afternoon, we take a launch cruise on the Kazinga Channel. The channel is blessed with many hippos, solitary buffaloes, and a vast array of birds. Evening game drive in the park follows.

Early Start for Bwindi Impenetrable Forest, passing either via Ishasha, well known for the tree climbing lion, or through an alternative route passing through cultivated expanses. After lunch, we go for a nature walk or a community visit.

Wake up early in the morning and have an early breakfast, then proceed to the park headquarters for briefing by the guides. You will then set off for your Gorilla tracking activity in the forests of Bwindi. Gorilla tracking can be strenuous, you will need to carry packed lunch, drinking water, wear comfortable boots or jungle shoes suitable for steep muddy slopes, put on ear plugs for those who feel uncomfortable with jungle sounds and take a rain jacket. Walking sticks will be made available for those that require one by the park rangers.

This is the last day of this Uganda Gorilla Safari. After an early breakfast at the safari lodge, we depart for Kampala. Lunch enroute. We reaching Kampala in the evening where you will be dropped off at your hotel or at the airport.
