Day 2: Transfer to Murchison falls - Gorilla Uganda Safari
The guide will pick you up at the hotel after you have breakfast and drive you to Murchison Falls national park in Uganda. You will go through different areas, including the Luwero triangle.
In the early 1980s, there was a lot of fighting in Luwero. This fighting helped the National Residence movement to win. You will stop in Masindi for lunch and the Ziwa Rhino Sanctuary for some rest and an opportunity to see the very rare and at risk white rhinos. In Uganda’s wildlife parks, the rhinos have been completely wiped out because many people have been illegally hunting and killing them for their horns. After there are more of them in their safe place, people want to put them back in the national parks. The driver will drive you to the top of the Murchison Falls after you have visited the Ziwa Rhino Sanctuary. There, you can take pictures and listen to the very loud sounds of the river Nile. Have a nice dinner and spend the night at Pakuba Lodge to end your day.
Day 3: Game Drive and Boat Cruise to the Bottom Of the Falls - Gorilla Uganda Safari
The biggest national park in Uganda, called Murchison Falls, has lots of animals to see. When the safari rides begin early in the morning after breakfast, there is a better chance of seeing different types of animals, especially the ones that prefer to stay hidden during the hot part of the day. During the wildlife drive, we look for giraffes, elephants, hartebeest, buffaloes, leopards, lions, and various types of birds on the northern side of the River Nile.
Then you will arrive at the lodge, have your lunch, and get ready for an afternoon safari on the river Nile.
We will keep exploring the River Nile on a boat safari in the afternoon and head towards the beautiful Murchison Falls. The slow and relaxed boat ride gives you a better chance to see many different animals, birds, and other wild animals. You can watch the waterfalls from underneath. After that, you will arrive at the lodge where you can have dinner and spend the night.

There are small towns and busy markets on the roads that lead to this tropical jungle. Someone will bring lunch with them. This trip will last for more than 8 hours before you reach the park. Once you arrive, you will check in and someone will tell you where to go for dinner. After eating, you can spend the night at the lodge.

A fun and satisfying journey, chimpanzee tracking brings you into dense forests with flowing water and lots of different animals. Right after you eat breakfast, you should go to the park office. There, you will meet the ranger guide who will give you a talk before your chimpanzee adventure begins. On your hike, you might see red-tailed monkeys, black-and-white Columbus monkeys, butterflies, and birds making sounds from the trees. Your guide will help you locate the chimpanzees. I love taking pictures and watching them have fun, groom themselves, and eat.
If you have time, go to Bigodi wetland after lunch. They have many different types of birds and monkeys. It is a community project. This community enterprise helps young people find jobs by guiding tours. Some of the money that is collected helps pay teachers and build schools. Go to the lodge, eat your dinner, and get ready to stay there for the night.

You will mostly do this in the Kasenyi Plains, where there is a big area where Kobs mate. Be careful of elephants, lions, leopards, waterbucks, buffaloes, and many colorful birds.
After we met, we go to Ishasha. Ishasha is well-known for its lions that can climb trees. We go there to watch them.

The big forest of Bwindi has many different kinds of trees, birds, butterflies, monkeys, and other animals. Your ranger guide will take you to find the huge and threatened mountain gorillas that live far inside the Bwindi jungles, together with other trackers. You have a limited time to catch your best moment with the gorillas. It can take anywhere from one hour to about eight hours to finish the trekking adventure. If you’re not interested in tracing gorillas, you can choose to take a short guided walk through the forest or visit a nearby village with a guide.
From there, you will arrive at the lodge, have lunch, and get ready for an evening Batwa nature walk. During the walk, you will have the chance to meet and talk to these people and learn about their lifestyles. After arriving at the lodge, you will have dinner and stay overnight.

Enjoy a delicious lunch at the lodge and take some time to unwind.
Day 11: Lake Bunyonyi Islands
After a good night’s sleep, wake up today and have your breakfast while enjoying the sunlight shining over Lake Bunyonyi. The area has beautiful hills on all sides. The people have made terraces on the hills to grow potatoes and other crops for themselves and to sell extra produce.
Go for a boat ride to visit some of the 29 Islands and learn about the area’s past and way of life. The most important story is about the “punishment island. ” Your guide will tell you about it while you are on the boat.
Right after you eat, you can either swim in the lake, watch birds, or climb up a tall hill in the afternoon to see the lake and its islands better. Instead, you can take it easy at the beach by the lake and enjoy reading a book.
Day 12: Transfer to Lake Mburo National Park
Lake Mburo National Park in South Western Uganda is a beautiful place that many people don’t know about. The journey to the park is very scenic, as you pass through pretty countryside, plantations, and farms.
