Family Holidays Gorilla Trekking Mid-range Wildlife 7 Days Safari with Gorillas, Chimps & Wildlife

After breakfast, this morning we'll travel by road to the home of the mountain gorillas. The journey will take about eight hours, leaving you with the whole day for taking in the sights of Uganda 'The Pearl of Africa'. No visit to Bwindi is complete without stopping by the iconic Equator mark at Kayabwe. The world-famous mark is incredibly beautiful, so make sure to keep your camera to hand for some memorable pictures and buy some souvenirs at the craft shops

At the UWA briefing point in Bwindi, the locals will entertain you and after, each group will be assigned a gorilla family to trek for the day in the company of an armed ranger. Due to the close relationship between humans and these gentle giants, travellers showing signs of airborne diseases are discouraged from coming close to mountain gorillas. Alternatively, they can be completely denied the chance of trekking if rangers find it more severe. You are advised to treat flu and cough before travelling
The trekking experience takes between 1- 3 hours and involves slippery trails. You may hire a local potter to help you during the trek with carrying luggage and gadget. Though tracking is the main attraction of the day, a range of stops can provide a relaxed opportunity to spot birds and monkeys while exploring one of Uganda's loveliest rainforests. After trekking, you will be awarded a certificate and Queen Elizabeth National Park.

Today we'll take an early breakfast and prepare for you an exciting safari in the Kasenyi sector of Queen Elizabeth also famous for rich dotted acacia and tree climbing lions. There are likely chances of spotting the leopard, buffalo, and hyena. If you love birds then this sector has salty crater lakes where flamingos can be seen during the day

After lunch, you will go on a boat safari in the Kazinga Channel, which joins Lake George and Lake Albert. Here you will see more hippos than you can possibly see anywhere else, along with herds of buffalo and elephants rushing to drink at gorge coastlines. Amazingly, the crocodiles in this region coexist peacefully with other creatures without preying on them.
Later, you'll return to the lodge for relaxation.

You will spend a couple of hours after breakfast on yet another fantastic game drive before travelling to Kibale National Park. You will involve yourself in a salt mining community tour at Lake Katwe before heading to your next destination. Lunch break is included at Garden Restaurant and the Tooro Kingdom Palace Tour. Later in the evening, you'll check into your hotel

Start the day with an early breakfast and prepare to meet our cousins in the wild. It is recommended that you carry enough drinking water in case you opt to go for chimpanzee habituation rather than tracking. Packed lunch will be a better option. Our tour begins with a briefing where a ranger gives you rules and regulations for encounters with chimpanzees, birds, and monkeys. In the afternoon, we'll embark on a community tour that will take you through the small communities, swamps, and tea plantations.
The locals here will teach you how to make crafts and herbal medicine. You will have the opportunity to taste some of the finest locally made coffee, gins, and beers. Nevertheless, the highlight of these walks is the transition to see at least five different species of monkeys and catch a glimpse of the blue turaco

You'll leave early in the morning to travel to Kampala, stopping for lunch along the Kampala-Masaka highway near the Equator in Kayabwe. When we eventually get to the Equator, you may take some fantastic pictures and buy amazing souvenirs at one of the craft shops at this location, including African clothes, paintings, and sculptures. The drive takes between 5 and 6 hours but will leave you rejuvenated by the gorgeous landscape
