Experience primates chattering and swinging through ancient trees in the Kibale Forest National Park. See lions relaxing in the trees in Queen Elizabeth National Park.

Day 1: Entebbe, Uganda
Today arrive into Entebbe International Airport and transfer by road to Boma Guest House.

Drive to Fort Portal. Visit the crater lakes and local vanilla and tea plantations.
Lodging Kyaninga Lodge
Description Set against a stunning backdrop of Lake Kyaninga and the legendary Mountains of the Moon beyond, Kyaninga Lodge is the spectacular result of one man’s vision and six years of unwavering commitment to creating an experience of Africa’s beauty unlike anything else. When Englishman Steve Williams first saw the lake on his way to visit the gorillas, there was nothing there aside from unspoilt natural beauty and breathtaking vistas. There aren’t many people who could stand on the rim of an ancient crater lake thousands of miles from home, and have the vision to imagine building a luxury lodge entirely out of timber on that very spot. Six years and over a thousand hand carved logs later the stunning vistas remain, and thanks to Steve’s achievements, they can now be enjoyed in ultimate comfort and style.
Day 3: Kibale Forest National Park
The tropical rain forest is the natural habitat for 12 primate species and contains the highest primate density of any area on Earth. Take a guided forest walk where you may find Chimpanzees and Red Colobus monkeys. Later visit a local community project and the Bigodi Swamp.

Day 6: Ishasha - Queen Elizabeth National Park
Ishasha is a more remote part of Queen Elizabeth National Park, but one which has a sense of exclusivity. There is prolific plains game and this means that predators are in attendance. Spotted hyena and leopard are occasionally sighted. The prime attraction for Ishasha is its large lion population and the frequency of the sighting is higher here than anywhere else in Uganda. Look skyward to see lions up trees escaping the mid-day heat.

Enjoy a morning game drive through Ishasha en route to Bwindi Impenetrable Forest National Park.
Lodging Gorilla Forest Camp
Description Gorilla Forest Camp is a magnificent camp located just on a steep hillside within Bwindi Impenetrable National Park. The beauty of the camp is due to the fact that it was established within the thick rainforest. Its next to the park entry well known to be a focal point where gorillas start their tracking.
Days 8 - 9: Bwindi Impenetrable Forest National Park
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.
