Welcome to Uganda. On arrival at Entebbe International Airport in Uganda, you are welcomed by your private guide, who will then drive you to your hotel.

Day Two

Entebbe - Kibale Forest National Park. After breakfast, your guide will drive you (5 hrs.) to Kibale National Park. While driving, you will pass by tea plantations along the way. In the afternoon, you will track the most famous inhabitants of Kibale Forest National Park which are the Chimpanzees.

Day Four

Bwindi Impenetrable National Park. This morning you will get up early and go for the upcoming gorilla trekking. Trekking the Mountain Gorilla is one of the most exciting and rewarding wildlife experiences on earth. The trek will take between 2 and 6 hours, but is well worth the effort. You will be led by an experienced ranger who will tell you interesting facts about flora and fauna and the lifestyles of the Gorillas. If there’s ample time afterwards, you may choose to visit the Batwa pygmy community living nearby and learn more about their way of life and how they lived as hunters and gathers in the Bwindi Forest or you can visit the Ride for a woman project in Buhoma, which is charitable organization that exists to support local women struggling at home with issues associated with HIV, domestic violence and poverty. The women learn to pedal sew, weave baskets, dance, sing and drum; learning new skills, thus making a living and making it possible for their children to gain an education. (B,L,D)
