Detailed Itinerary

Day 1: Head to Lake Mburo National Park.

After your early breakfast, we begin our journey along the Kampala-Masaka highway. We’ll stop at the Uganda Equator in Kayabwe for a few minutes of photo shoots, have some coffee/tea, smoke a cigaratte if you want, stretch your muscles, and then continue our trip.

At this point, you will notice a difference in the vegetation and terrain as you travel from the flat and dry Central-Buganda region to the hilly and green Western-Ankole region.

Check out Lake Mburo National Park; you’ll definitely start seeing a lot of animals. Drive to your lodge for lunch and an afternoon spent relaxing by the pool with an ice cold beer. If you aren’t too exhausted, you can go on an afternoon safari or continue swimming.
Overnight stay at Mihingo Lodge.

Day 2: Head to Queen Elizabeth National Park.

Following our early morning meal, we will head to Queen Elizabeth National Park for a game drive before embarking on an evening Kazinga Channel boat excursion.

Day 4: Gorilla Tracking Day.

We eat breakfast and then report to the park headquarters at 7:30 a.m. for a brief overview of gorilla tracking etiquette. Following the brief gorilla tracking highlights at the park entrance, which also serves as the starting point for gorilla tracking. We will be trekking into the impenetrable forest in search of these peaceful giant gorillas, accompanied by a skilled guide.

The time spent tracking gorillas is greatly dependent on how quickly we can discover a gorilla community. It can take us a few minutes or an entire day to spot them. We will then return from this exciting but exhausting excursion to relax.
