This morning after breakfast depart for Queen Elizabeth National Park. Queen Elizabeth National Park is understandably Uganda’s most popular tourist destination. The park’s diverse ecosystems, which include sprawling savanna, shady, humid forests, sparkling lakes and fertile wetlands, make it the ideal habitat for classic big game, ten primate species including chimpanzees and over 600 species of birds. Enjoy an afternoon game drive in the park.

Continue to check in to Parkview Safari Lodge for two nights.

Depart with packed lunch and embark on a full day game drive in QENP with a network of tracks that enables you to find a variety of animals including elephants, buffalo, waterbuck, lion, leopard, hyena and giant forest hog in the grassland thickets that cover the North Kazinga area near the Mweya Peninsula.

One of the main attractions of the park is the 32 km long Kazinga Channel, which attracts a large concentration of mammals, birds as well as reptiles all year around. You will enjoy a boat cruise on the Kazinga Channel with an opportunity to spot the array of wildlife from the boat.

This morning you depart the northern sector of Queen Elizabeth National Park, heading towards the Congolese border town of Ishasha. Proceed to the Bwindi Impenetrable Forest on te southern side of the park. Check into Ichumbi Gorilla Lodge which has a laid back feeling and set close to the park itself.  Enjoy the afternoon in the lodge’s peaceful setting.

Today you set off on your Uganda gorilla tracking adventure in the Bwindi Impenetrable National Park – home to half of the world’s total mountain gorilla population. While trekking through the dense forest you’ll have the opportunity to view the mountain gorillas in their natural habitat. Looking deep into the expressive brown eyes of the Gentle Giants of the Bwindi Impenetrable Forest National Park surely is the most exciting and poignant wildlife encounter that Africa has to offer. After this captivating and unforgettable experience you will head back to your lodge for some relaxation.

Today you have the option of a second Gorilla trek, seeing a different family than previously.  Each Gorilla family has its own unique dynamics and you can expect an entirely different experience as you spend another hour in the company of these amazingly Gentle Giants.

Alternatively, you can opt to do the Batwa Trail Cultural Activity. The cultural experience showcases the traditional life of the Batwa (pygmies) who were forest dwellers. The activity introduces travellers to Batwa life comprised of hunting, fruit gathering, collecting honey and performing of rituals in the caves within the forest. The Batwa lived in harmony with forest animals including the mountain gorillas for over 500,000 years. They are the main beneficiaries of the activity. 

Return to the lodge to rest up and enjoy the rest of the afternoon.

Today you will be transferred to the Kisoro Airport for your flight back to Entebbe and to make your connection to your flight home.  Day rooms are available should your flight be later at an added cost.
