This safari is a gorilla and chimpanzee trekking tour mashed up with wildlife sighting which will begin from Entebbe Airport and end at Entebbe Airport. You will visit Bwindi Impenetrable National Park, Queen Elizabeth National Park and Kibale Forest National Park. 

Day 1: Transfer to Bwindi Impenetrable Forest National Park 

Early in the morning our company guide will pick you from Entebbe Airport and transfer you to Bwindi Impenetrable Forest National Park. A beautiful scenery referred to as the “Switzerland of Africa” will be a great sight as you navigate the immense country side. You will have lunch en route. On arrival at the park, you will check in to your pre booked lodge and relax as you prepare for the gorilla trekking experience due the next day.

Dinner and overnight at Ruhija Safari Lodge

Day 2: Gorilla Trekking experience in Bwindi 

After your early morning breakfast, assemble at the park head office with your packed lunch and drinking water for briefing from the senior park ranger guide. You will then set off to the starting point and trek the gentle giants through thick and dark vegetation as you hike high and low slippery slopes. Be observant enough to listen to the vocals of the gorillas as they communicate which will make it easy for you to follow them up. The only one magical hour you will be with the huge giant apes, will be the most amazing you will forever tell. The guide will tell you more about them and their habits and you will take as many photos as you desire. Afterwards, return to the lodge for relaxation.
