4-Day Uganda Gorilla and Chimpanzee Trekking Tour

Embark on a 4-day safari from Kampala and trek through the Bwindi Impenetrable Forest. Encounter mountain gorillas and chimpanzees in their natural habitat and enjoy a canoe ride on Lake Bunyonyi.
Day 1: Kampala to Kibale National Park

Leave Kampala and drive through the dense jungles and papyrus wetlands of the Nile Delta. Pause for lunch en route to Kibale National Park, near the towering Ruwenzori Mountains, known as the "Mountains of the Moon." In the afternoon, embark on a guided walk in the national park, exploring the crater lakes area and experiencing the local culture.

Day 2: Chimpanzee Trekking and Queen Elizabeth National Park

Start your day early with breakfast and then head out for chimpanzee tracking. The park is home to an impressive 500 chimpanzees. Before heading into the forest, be briefed on the trekking procedures. While trekking in the jungle, your guide will tell you more about the chimpanzees, other primates, and local flora and fauna, making for an interesting adventure.

The dense jungles of Kibale are the best place to view chimpanzees in Africa. The chimpanzees are commonly found feeding on fig tree fruits in the game park and have been habituated to humans since 1992. Kibale National Park covers 795 square kilometers and consists mostly of a vast tract of equatorial rainforest. This national park is home to numerous forest wildlife species, boasting one of the highest concentrations of primates in the world.

In the afternoon, travel south to the Queen Elizabeth National Park, taking in the sights and looking out for the resident game as you drive. This evening, relax and have dinner near Bwindi.

Day 3: Gorilla Trekking and Lake Bunyonyi

Have an early morning breakfast and proceed to the briefing point. Enjoy the highlight of your trip, gorilla trekking, which may last from 2 to 6 hours depending on the group you are visiting. Trek through the rainforest and bamboo-covered slopes, accompanied by a Uganda Wildlife Authority guide and other trackers, in search of a mountain gorilla family.

The walking can sometimes be tough and long, but when you catch a glimpse of the magnificent silverback, any discomforts will be quickly forgotten. Due to the nature of the activity, you will have a packed lunch. After gorilla trekking, drive through the terraced hills to Lake Bunyonyi.

Besides canoeing, there is a short list of optional activities: swimming (safe in this lake), hiking on some of the island trails along the lake shores, community walks, and having a chance to meet the local people with small residents and exotic bird species singing.

Day 4: Lake Bunyonyi and Kigali or kampala

After breakfast, check out of the lodge and transfer to Lake Bunyonyi for a guided canoe ride. Later, get set for a border crossing journey to Rwanda. Transfer to Kigali city with the memory of the great rare mountain apes. Lunch will be served en route, arriving late in the evening to be dropped off at your hotel or airport as you say farewell to the Pearl of Africa.
