Entebbe

I will meet, greet at Entebbe Airport and drive to a guest house in Entebbe. Get a few hours of rest and prepare for the next day’s transfer

Murchison Falls National Park

I will pick you up at the Entebbe guest house at 8:00 am and drive northwestwards to Murchison Falls National Park with a planned 2hr stopover at the Ziwa Rhino Sanctuary for the rhino sighting. We will have lunch at Kabalega Dinners and embark on the journey to Murchison falls national park.

Murchison Falls National Park

Early in the morning, you will go for a game drive in the park to spot elephants, lions, giraffes, and other wildlife. In the afternoon, you will take a relaxing boat trip on the River Nile, and here you will have a chance to see crocodiles, hippos, and a range of rare birds. You will also see for yourself the point where River Nile joins Lake Albert, one of the “major highlights” of this trip. Visit the top of Murchison Falls in the later afternoon. This trip will take you to upper Murchison Falls National Park, where you have spectacular views of Murchison Falls along the Nile River.

Kibale National Park

After early morning breakfast, drive to Kibale National Park. The drive to Kibale National Park will go through western Uganda's major cities, including Hoima, Kyenjojo, and Fort Portal. There will be a scheduled stopover for lunch along the way.

Queen Elizabeth National Park

You will head to the Kibale forest immediately after breakfast to trek the chimpanzees in their forest home. If you are lucky on the trek, you might encounter other different species of monkeys in the Kibale forest. These include black and white colobus monkeys, olive baboons, and red-tailed monkeys. Transfer to Queen Elizabeth National Park immediately after the chimpanzee trek. The drive to Queen Elizabeth NP will go through the famous Fortal Portal crater lakes.

Queen Elizabeth National Park

You will start the day with an early morning breakfast at the lodge. Afterward, we proceed to the famed Kasenyi plains of Queen Elizabeth National Park to spot various species of wild animals. Kasenyi plains dwell in the vast savannahs of the Albertine rift in Queen Elizabeth National Park. It will be a morning full of adventure! Expect to encounter lions, herds of buffalos, elephants, Uganda kobs, and bushbucks. While spotting the "Big Five" in the park is not guaranteed, on a lucky day, you may site leopards to make it the "Big Four." After lunch, join the Kazinga channel boat cruise for an afternoon of wild game viewing. You will spot crocodiles, buffaloes, elephants, and a wide range of bird species on the channel waters.

Bwindi Impenetrable National Park

On the way to Bwindi Impenetrable National Park, we will drive through the Ishasha sector of Queen Elizabeth National Park, popularly known for the tree climbing lions. Unlike their counterparts at the Kasenyi plains, the lions at Ishasha have found a way to climb the fig trees to enjoy the warm temperatures available in the park. While the sighting of the tree-climbing lions is not 100% guaranteed, a stopover at Ishasha is worth a visit!

Bwindi Impenetrable National Park

You will head to the Bwindi National Park gate immediately after breakfast to get a briefing about the gorilla trek. The national park guide will conduct the presentation covering what to expect during the gorilla trek. The national park guide will assign the gorilla trekking group during the pre-trekking briefing. Other visitors will likely join you. The gorilla trek can take from a few to many hours, depending on how far the gorillas are inside the forest. After the gorilla trekking, drive to the lodge for dinner and overnight.

Lake Mburo National Park

This is the day you will transfer from Bwindi Impenetrable National Park to Lake Mburo National Park. At 6:30pm, you will have an option to do a night game drive to spot the leopard that mostly hunt at night and other nocturnal animals. We shall come back to the lodge around 10pm for late dinner and overnight

Lake Mburo National Park

After breakfast we shall head to the national park for a game drive. The wildlife to see include Zebras, Impalas, Warthogs, Giraffes, and Elands among others. Later we shall retire back to the lodge to have lunch and relax or take a bike from the lodge and cycle around the village.

Entebbe

This day we shall transfer to Entebbe with a planned stopover at the equator for souvenir shopping, photography and have coffee. Later we shall proceed to Entebbe.

The Mabamba wetland, located west of Entebbe, is one of the best and most convenient places to encounter the elusive shoebill and a prime birding site. After a few minutes in a small canoe, the papyrus reeds open up into a flat grassy wetland where shoebills are regularly sighted. The shoebills are most relaxed in the morning when they stalk their main prey ( fish or frogs) though they can be spotted all day. The shoebills may stand still for long periods awaiting the movements of their prey and then suddenly strike with astonishing speed. We shall take a boat tour across Lake Victoria, arriving at Mabamba by boat. The boat allows you to see many birds that you may otherwise miss. After the Mabamba trek, you will drive back to the guest house to prepare for your flight. In the evening drop-off at Entebbe international airport & depart to your next destination.
