Journey to Murchison Falls & Hike to the Top of the Falls
Your safari begins with an early morning pick-up from your hotel in Kampala or Entebbe. Drive north through lush green landscapes and bustling local trading towns. Arrive at Murchison Falls National Park and head straight to the top of the falls to witness the mighty River Nile drop spectacularly through a tiny 7-meter gorge into the valley below. Transfer to your lodge for dinner and relaxation.
Early Morning Savanna Game Drive & River Nile Launch Cruise
Head out onto the northern delta tracks for an early morning game drive. Your expert guide will help you look for lions, leopards, elephants, buffaloes, and large herds of Rothschild's giraffes. In the afternoon, board a private launch boat cruise down the River Nile to the base of the waterfall, spotting pods of hippos and massive crocodiles along the shores.
Transfer to Kibale Forest (The Primate Capital)
Enjoy a scenic cross-country drive heading southwest along the Albertine Rift Valley escarpment. Pass through traditional homesteads and vibrant tea plantations surrounding the town of Fort Portal. Arrive at your lodge on the edge of Kibale National Park, settling in to the sights and sounds of the tropical rainforest ecosystem.
Wild Chimpanzee Tracking & Bigodi Swamp Sanctuary Nature Walk
Report to the park headquarters for a crucial briefing on chimpanzee trekking etiquette. Head into the dense tropical forest alongside expert rangers to track wild chimpanzee communities swinging through the canopy. Spend an incredible hour watching them play, groom, and feed. In the afternoon, take a community guided walk through Bigodi Swamp to look for rare monkeys and colorful birds.
Drive across Queen Elizabeth Park to Bwindi Gorilla Sanctuary
Drive south through the savanna plains of Queen Elizabeth National Park, taking a mini game drive to spot elephants and antelopes. Climb into the steep terraced Kigezi highlands, known as the "Switzerland of Africa," arriving at your mountain lodge on the edge of the Bwindi Impenetrable Forest.
The Mountain Gorilla Tracking Adventure in Bwindi Impenetrable Forest
The highlight of your journey! Wake up early for breakfast and gather at the park offices for tracking assignments.
