TRIP OVERVIEW
TRIP ITINERARY
NUTS & BOLTS

For the wildlife enthusiast, a trip to Uganda's Bwindi Impenetrable National Park to observe its mountain gorillas in their habitat is a must-do. This 7-day trip includes a gorilla permit and chimpanzee tracking permits as well as guides to help you make the most of your adventures in Kibale Forest National Park, and Bwindi. In addition to primate trekking, you'll also enjoy game drives and walks through diverse habitats in search of the hundreds of resident bird species, as well as elephants, hippos and buffaloes.

Day 1: Arrival

Arrive at the newly refurbished and modern Entebbe International Airport, where you will be met with a welcome drink followed by a briefing and transfer to your hotel for freshen up. You will then drive to the Kibale Forest National Park.

Lodging

Primate Lodge

Description

Primate Lodge is a mere 5 minute walk to the Kibale Forest National Park Headquarters, making it the ideal lodge for chimpanzee tracking. There are 10 Meru style tents on raised platforms with private verandas, each with en-suite facilities and a small sitting area. They are nicely positioned in the forest for ultimate privacy. The en-suite bungalows range in size each with a small sitting area being situated in the forest which is home to black and white Colobus monkeys and a host of birds. One of the highlights of this lodge is that on occasions the Colobus monkeys and chimpanzees can be seen moving through camp!

Day 2: Kibale Forest National Park

This tropical rain forest is the natural habitat for 12 primate species and contains the highest peimate density of any area on Earth. Take a guided forest walk where you may find Chimpanzees and Red Colobus Monkeys.

Lodging

Ishasha Wilderness Camp

Description

Ishasha Wilderness Camp is situated inside the southern Ishasha sector of Queen Elizabeth National Park on the Ntungwe river, and is an idyllic retreat for people who truly enjoy the wilderness. This exclusive tented camp offers quality accommodation and services in this unspoilt remote southern sector of Queen Elizabeth National Park famous for its tree climbing lions that can sometimes be spotted resting in the branches of the large fig trees in the area.

Day 4: Queen Elizabeth National Park

The game densities in Ishasha are high and this region has reported some of the largest herds of Elephant anywhere in Uganda, as it is the main migration corridor between Uganda and the DRC. There is prolific plains game here - primarily Topi and Uganda Kob, Buffalo, Hippo and of course Elephant.

Days 5: Bwindi Impenetrable Forest

Enjoy a game drive in the park follwed by a transfer to the Bwindi Impenetrable Forest.

Lodging	Buhoma Lodge
Description	Buhoma Lodge commands spectacular and uninterrupted views of the Bwindi Impenetrable Forest National Park home to the rare and elusive Mountain Gorilla. We have completely renovated the original Buhoma Homestead and now offer a top quality, intimate lodge for our guests’ enjoyment. Situated within the National Park, less than five minutes walk, from the start of the gorilla trekking point.

Day 6: Bwindi Impenetrable Forest

The Mountain Gorillas in Bwindi are part of a worldwide population of just 720 individuals. The gorillas you are allowed to track belong either to one of six habituated family groups. For up to five years each, these groups have undergone an extremely delicate process that has gradually brought them to tolerate the presence of humans for a brief period every day and allowed the privileged visitors to interact with them in the wild.

The time taken to track the gorillas varies enormously from as little as half an hour to as much as 9 hours before one returns to camp. Once the gorillas are located, your group will be allowed a maximum of one hour with them.

                                        The Mountain Gorillas in Bwindi are part of a worldwide population of just 720 individuals. The gorillas you are allowed to track belong either to one of six habituated family groups. For up to five years each, these groups have undergone an extremely delicate process that has gradually brought them to tolerate the presence of humans for a brief period every day and allowed the privileged visitors to interact with them in the wild. 
<div><br></div><div>The time taken to track the gorillas varies enormously from as little as half an hour to as much as 9 hours before one returns to camp. Once the gorillas are located, your group will be allowed a maximum of one hour with them.</div>
