Bwindi is located in southwestern Uganda, a magnificent verdant swathe across the steep ridges of the Albertine Rift Valley. This ancient rainforest is one of the few in Africa to have flourished and is home to half of the world’s endangered population of mountain gorillas. Looking into the expressive brown eyes of these giants is surely the most exciting and poignant wildlife encounter Uganda has to offer.

Drive back to the lodge for lunch.

    In the afternoon, you'll take the boat excursion along the river Nile to the base of the magnificent Murchison Falls. It is amazing to see the concentration of wildlife on the bank of the River Nile, including hippos, crocodiles, and a variety of bird species, like African eagles, pelicans, kingfishers, Egyptian geese, and much more. You'll proceed from the excursion with the walk to the “top of the falls, where the River Nile creates a narrow canyon of thunderous water as it lowers down the Albertine Rift Valley. You will have a view from the top of the falls.

  • Early morning after breakfast you drive to Budongo Forest, in Kaniyo-Pabidi eco-tourist site, for the tropical forest trekking to meet the great apes, the chimpanzees in their natural habitat. The forest is also home to many other primates such as black and white Colobus monkeys, red-tailed monkeys, blue monkeys, vervet monkeys, and baboons. The chimpanzee trekking is possible due to the conservation efforts by the Jane Goodall Institute and the park authorities to protect the forest and the endangered chimpanzees. You can have lunch or choose to carry a packed lunch. In the afternoon, you can take a cultural activity with the Boomu Women Group eco-tourist site or the Kapega Association made by local guides who have been working in the forest. This is a moment for you to interact with the people living near the forest, to see how they live.

A stopover is made in Bugoma Forest South of Hoima. Bugoma Forest is the habitat of the chimpanzees and Ugandan mangabeys.

    Depending on the time available, we may suggest you take a nature walk in the forest or plant a tree. Lunch will be en-route in a restaurant. The road follows along the Rwenzori Mountain Range to Kasese town.

Queen Elizabeth enjoys unique landscapes and views of crater lakes and the Albertine Rift Valley, which make this area special and unforgettable. Afterward, have lunch.

    In the afternoon, take the most exciting safari by boat from Mweya Peninsula along Kazinga Channel, one of the most popular sites in Uganda for its concentration of wildlife, birdlife, and opportunities for good photographs. Moreover, you will see plenty of hippos, buffaloes, and elephants while drinking from the channel.

    In the evening, have a short transfer to the Ishasha Sector of the park, for check-in at chosen accommodation.

You'll also see herds of buffaloes, elephants, topi antelopes and many species of birds. Lunch will be had en-route.

    Note: Today, your transfer can be very long, up to 7 hours and it depends on the roads conditions and place of allocation of gorilla permits. The choice of the area of the gorilla safari depends on the availability of permits.

Bwindi Forest in Uganda has a population of about 420 gorillas, which is half the world's population according to 2012 gorilla population surveys. The time you will spend to encounter the gorillas is not predictable. You have one hour to observe the primates and their behavior while taking photographs. Ensure you take a packed lunch and water with you in the bag and for this, you might need the support of available porters.
