5 Days Uganda Safari Tour

Have an early morning breakfast then go for a morning game drive within the park. Anticipate to see the famous big five including Buffalos, elephants, Lions and other mammals like Giant forest hog, Bush bucks, Kobs, Hyenas and water bucks. In the afternoon hours you will partake in a launch cruise along Kazinga channel. You will be treated to an awesome sight of elephant herds, buffaloes, antelopes, and thousands of birds including Pelicans and African Dartas. Not forgetting that the channel has the highest concentration of hippos in Uganda. Dinner and overnight at Marafiki Safari Lodge.

After breakfast, we’ll will have a game drive as you depart Queen Elizabeth National Park for Bwindi Impenetrable National Park, cutting through the Ishasha sector where you may have chance to see the tree climbing Lions leisurely resting in ficus trees and other big mammals which you may have missed during the game drives of the previous day(s). You will spend the night at your pre-booked Accommodation center (full board). We recommend that you have a good night’s rest ahead of the following day’s gorilla tracking! Accommodation at Ichumbi Gorilla Lodge.

After an early morning breakfast, and with your picnic lunch we then take a short drive to the park offices for briefing where we meet the excellent local guides and trackers who give a talk on the etiquette of gorilla trekking. We then hike into the forest to a spot where Gorillas were seen the previous night and track from there. Trekking may take anything between 1 to 6 hours depending on the location of the family and altitudes which is in excess of 7500 feet. The terrain is rough and muddy calling for physical fitness. Although the hike is physically demanding, the beauty of the forest and surrounding scenery make the trekking worthwhile. It is recommended that you take plenty of water with you on the trek. Cameras and plenty of fast speed films are recommended. Being a tropical rain forest, it may rain at no notice, hence need to bring with you waterproof clothing, including zip lock bags for cameras and film. Others to come with include; strong hiking/walking shoes, long pants, gloves and raincoat. After return back to the lodge for overnight.

After breakfast transfer to Entebbe international airport to readily catch your flight back home in the evening as you say farewell to the pearl of Africa! But along the way, you will make a stopover at the Equator line to have an authentic feel of standing at Latitude 00 the pearl of Africa!! All scheduling will be aligned to your flight/ departure time.

End of Tour!
