We will come to get you when you arrive, either at the Hotel or the Airport. The person who will drive and guide you during the tour is an English-speaking professional. They will pick you up and we will start our journey to Murchison Falls National Park. The best things about this park are the loud rapids of the Murchison Falls and the wide open fields of Uganda's biggest National Park. You might see lions, giraffes, hartebeest, buffalo, and elephants, among other animals. There will be a break for lunch during the journey. If you have enough time, you can go on a game drive or safari in the late afternoon to evening. Note: If you are staying at the hotel or if you leave the airport early, you can take a slight detour to visit Zziwa Rhino Sanctuary and spend an hour tracking rhinos. If you want, you can do it, but it will cost an additional $50 for each person. If not, we will go straight to Murchison.
Eat your breakfast, go on a morning drive through the wide fields of Uganda's biggest National Park, and keep your eyes open for animals like lions and leopards (which may be difficult to see). If you like to watch birds, there are many different kinds of birds you can see while driving. Go back to the place where you are staying to relax and have some food. After you eat lunch, you will go on a boat trip to the bottom of Murchison Falls. During the trip, you will see more animals like Hippos, Crocodiles, and water birds. If you want to, you can hike to the top of the falls, but it will cost extra. The hike might be tough, but the feeling of reaching the summit is something you'll never forget. Go back to where you are staying and take it easy.
Wake up early and start driving to Budongo Forest Reserve, which is about an hour and fifteen minutes away. We will get there on time for the 8 am meeting. After the meeting, we will go and find the closest relatives of humans in their natural habitat. Experience a supervised walk in the beautiful tropical forest to find a friendly group of chimpanzees. Your guide will tell you more about the animals and plants that you see on your journey. After the hike, we can relax and have lunch at Budongo Eco Lodge. After that, we will go on a short trip to Hoima City, where we will stay overnight at the place we have already reserved.
Enjoy a calm breakfast at your place to stay and then go for a drive to Queen Elizabeth National Park. You will arrive at the Queen's place in time to have lunch, take a break, and then go out to watch the game. During the game drive, keep an eye out for wild animals like reedbuck, bushbuck, kob, warthogs, elephants, lions, and buffaloes, just to name a few. Instead, you have the option to go on the Queen's stunning drive that takes you through an explosion crater. The drive offers a great opportunity to see beautiful sights and stunning scenery in and around Queen. You can also see some animals while driving, but the most common ones are Cape Buffaloes and Elephants. Go back to the place where you are staying to relax, have dinner, and stay for the night.
Wake up early and go on a morning drive in the Kasenyi plains. You should keep your eyes open for Cape buffalos, groups of elephants, lions, and leopards (although they may be difficult to see). Go back to the lodging and check out. Then, go to the Ishasha sector to look for lions that can climb trees. You have a good chance of seeing these lions, about 70% chance. However, sometimes they are difficult to see, especially when they are down in the grassland searching for food. If you see them, it is beautiful and you will remember it. After leaving Ishasha, we will go to the place we will be staying near Bwindi National Park (Ruhija sector). We will arrive there in the evening, around 6 pm.
Eat breakfast and go to the place where the rangers work. You will get important instructions from a ranger guide about what you should and shouldn't do while trekking. After that, you will go into the Bwindi Forest for your exciting experience. This rainforest is really beautiful. It has a steep and densely forested area that is filled with many animal trails for tourists to explore. The amount of time it takes and the type of land that the big monkeys move on can change. After you find a group of gorillas, you can spend an hour with them. Watching these gentle giants, who are sadly at risk of extinction, is an unforgettable and exciting experience. Go back to where you are staying, check out, and go to Lake Mburo National Park to spend the night.
Have a nice breakfast and then go for a walk in the Mburo park in the morning. You will be accompanied by a ranger from the Uganda Wildlife Authority who will carry a weapon. During this morning walk, you will have a chance to see zebras, giraffes, eland, topi, other antelope, and Cape buffaloes up close.
Go on the Trail to the highest point of the hills and look at Lake Mburo and even further. From here, you can see 9 out of the 12 lakes that are around Lake Mburo National Park. Afterwards, go back to where you are staying to check out and then start your journey to Entebbe.
