12-Day
Nature Sighting Trip – Including Gorilla Trekking and Big 5




Day 1

Arrive at Entebbe Airport, be picked up and transferred to your hotel.
Upon arrival at Entebbe International Airport, an English-speaking professional driver-guide assigned by Home to Africa will greet and welcome you to Uganda, the Pearl of Africa. Following that, you will be transferred to your reserved lodging (Entebbe). Optional (at an additional cost): If you arrived in Uganda early and are interested, you can proceed to the Entebbe Botanical Garden. The Garden is one of the places around Entebbe where you can see many different bird species as well as a few primates such as black and white colobus monkeys and vervet monkeys.

It is also a place of tranquility and peace, a feast for the eyes with a notable absence of people, where you can simply immerse yourself in nature, with the sounds of birds breaking the silence.

After breakfast, your driver-guide will pick you up and drive you to Murchison Falls National Park. The roaring rapids of the Murchison, the rolling plains of Uganda’s largest National Park, and the opportunity to see lions, giraffes, hartebeest, buffalo, and elephants are among the highlights of this park.
The concentration of hippos and Nile crocodiles here will undoubtedly fascinate you. En route, there will be a lunch stop. Continue to the park and check into your lodging for the evening. Optional: If time and interest allow, you can go on a late afternoon-evening game drive.

After lunch, you will board a boat to the base of Murchison Falls, where you will be able to see more animals such as hippos, crocodiles, and a variety of water birds. Continue with a (optional) hike to the top of the falls. The hike may be difficult, but the rush of reaching the summit is unforgettable. If you must, miss it. Return to your lodging and unwind for the evening.

The journey is long but breathtaking, passing through villages, lush green countryside, and hills dotted with tea plantations that characterize this part of Uganda. The breathtaking scenery will take your breath away the entire journey. Check in and relax when you arrive at your lodging. Optional (at an additional cost): If time and interest allow, you may go on a Bigodi swamp walk, a crater lakes excursion, or visit The Amabere Ga Nyina Mwiru Caves for some cultural/historical insights.

An experienced ranger guide will accompany you on chimp tracking (Kibale Forest), and the presence of primates here will undoubtedly astound you. You will have an hour in the chimps’ presence once you locate them. Later (after lunch), explore the crater lakes, culminating with a hike to the “top of the world.” You will appreciate the beauty of the numerous small lakes surrounded by gentle hills, as well as the breathtaking views.
Take a hike to Lake Nkuruba, where you will see a variety of primates and birds. Meet and interact with the locals while walking through their villages and taking in the panoramic views of the Kibale region.

After breakfast, depart for Bwindi Impenetrable National Park via the Ishasha sector of Queen Elizabeth National Park, which is famous for its resident tree-climbing lions. The chances of seeing these lions are about 70%, though they can be difficult to spot at times (most especially when they are down in the grassland looking for prey). I hope you get a chance to see them; the sight will be breathtaking!

Continue your journey to Bwindi Impenetrable National Park. Bwindi is a large mountain gorilla habitat in Uganda (home to an estimated 400 mountain gorillas – roughly half of the world’s population), with several habituated groups that you will trek. With a long day ahead of you, you will do little on arrival except check into your accommodation and relax before your Bwindi gorilla trekking adventure the next day.

Following that, you will enter the Bwindi Forest to begin your adventure. This rain forest is breathtakingly beautiful! The area has a dramatic steeply forested landscape and is extremely dense, but it is crisscrossed by numerous animal trails that allow tourists access. The time and terrain vary according to the movements of these great primates. You will be allowed an hour in the presence of a gorilla group once you have located one. It is unforgettable to spend time observing these gentle but endangered giants.
Return to your lodging, check out, and take a transfer to Lake Bunyonyi. Lake Bunyonyi is surrounded by lush, green-terraced hills that rise to a height of (2,200 – 2,478m), but it’s the 29 islands of varying shapes and sizes scattered across the water that make it most magical — you could spend all day admiring them.
