DAY 1:
Arrival and transfer to your hotel in Entebbe.
Met by our local guide
for transfer to your hotel in Kampala. Entebbe is about
41kms from Kampala. You will remember that it was at Entebbe
where the Israelis heroically released hostages that was on a
hijacked Air France Airbus in 1976. This green breezy
town was also the first capital of Uganda. Sir Fredrick
Treves described it as ‘the prettiest and most charming
town of the lake – a summer resort where no more
business is undertaken than is absolutely necessary. You
spend the night at you comfortable accommodation, Mosa Courts
(upgrade available to Emin Pasha Hotel) for dinner and over
night. Bed, Breakfast.
DAY 2: Bwindi Impenetrable Forest
Breakfast at your hotel before we drive heading to southwestern Uganda.
En route, there is a local community popular for making local drums and crafts and a fruit market. Stopover, admire and buy yourself souvenirs. Proceed to the Equator line taken as one beautiful scenery in Africa - the pathway of the sun and take photographs. You may be amazed by the local Hima pastoralists grazing the famous Ankole long - horned cattle. Take pictures and proceed. The Bwindi area is a highly fertile, mountainous region with steep sided hills covered from top to bottom in neatly terraced rows of cultivation. You are really driving through the “Banana Republic” with banana plantations all around you, steep hills, small rivers……just amazing scenery. Arrive late afternoon at the park and check-in at your accommodation Buhoma Community Bandas (with the option of upgrading to Bwindi Volcanoes Lodge/ Kitandara Tented Camp). Full board.
Estimated transfer time to Bwindi is 10 hours by 4 wheel drive vehicle.

DAY 3: Bwindi Impenetrable Forest
Today enjoy surely.
After breakfast, proceed for the morning briefing before
enjoying the highlight of the trip- Gorilla trekking which
may last the entire day. We trek through the rainforest and bamboo
covered slopes, accompanied by a guide and 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 totally forgotten.
These gentle giants are highly endangered and anyone suffering even the slightest of ailments including a cough will not be allowed to go this trek. When sighted, visitors will be guided to within 6 metres from the gorillas, sit around them for a whole hour while gazing into their big round eyes. These giants are so powerful and can sometimes weigh up to 250kilos. Pictures with non flash zoom lens can be taken. After these adventures we return to our camp for a well-deserved rest. Full board.

DAY 5: Transfer to Queen Elizabeth National Park
After breakfast we
drive through stunning savannah grasslands as we head to
Queen Elizabeth National Park. Either (roads permitting)
we will pass the southern sector of the park – Ishasha, a
remote and beautiful extension of Queen Elizabeth National Park
that is host to a large variety and volume of wildlife. (It
is a fabulous site to see the lions draped from the
trees and nowhere in Africa do you stand a better chance
of seeing this than in the large low limbed fig tree of
Ishasha). Or take the alternative route through
cultivated expanses.
While in Queen Elizabeth National park
we do a game drive in the northern sector of the park,
the Baboon Cliff famous for its nice scenery, and good
views of the shadows of the mountains of the moon – the
Rwenzoris. Enjoy the drive back to the lodge through
large expanses of savannah grasslands as you spot some wildlife
enroute. Overnight at MWEYA HOSTELS (you can upgrade to MWEYA
SAFARI LODGE/ JACANA SAFARI LODGE). Full board.
DAY 6: Queen Elizabeth National Park
DAY 6: Queen Elizabeth National Park
We set out early in the
morning for a game drive in the northern part of the
park on the Kasenyi Track in search of lions, elephants,
solitary buffaloes. This is the best time for opportunities of viewing
the cats in action owing to the vast population of
Uganda Kobs. We have an excellent chance to view just
about every animal here at very close range. Midmorning
relax by the pool at the lodge. PM go for a launch trip
along the Kazinga Channel. This gives you the
opportunity to view wildlife up close: hippo’s huff and
spray mere feet away from the boat, buffalo linger in the shallows.
The shores of the channel are also home to an array of birds
including pink backed pelicans, pied and malachite
kingfishers, saddle billed stork and many others. After
this wonderful afternoon, enjoy a slow drive to
relaxation at our accommodation. Full board.
