Signature Safari

After an early breakfast, depart Kampala or Entebbe and begin the drive to Bwindi Impenetrable National Park in southwestern Uganda. The journey passes through central Uganda's countryside, with scenic views of rolling hills, cultivated farmland, trading centers, and local communities. A stop over for lunch en route before continuing through the highland landscapes toward Bwindi. As you approach the park, the terrain becomes increasingly mountainous and forested, providing a glimpse of the habitat that supports the endangered mountain gorillas. Arrive at your lodge in the afternoon or evening, check in, and spend the remainder of the day relaxing after the long drive. Dinner and overnight stay will be at the lodge as you prepare for the following day's gorilla trekking activity.

After breakfast, head to Kyambura Gorge for a briefing before starting your chimpanzee trekking experience. The forested gorge is home to a habituated chimpanzee community as well as several bird species, monkeys, and diverse plant life. Accompanied by park rangers, follow forest trails while searching for the chimpanzees and learning about the ecosystem of this unique underground forest. After the trek, enjoy lunch before proceeding to the Kazinga Channel for an afternoon boat cruise. The channel connects Lake Edward and Lake George and supports large populations of hippos, Nile crocodiles, buffaloes, elephants, and numerous water birds along its shores. Return to the lodge in the evening for dinner and an overnight stay.
