7 Days
Arrive at Entebbe International Airport and transfer to your accommodation. Once checked in, you can take a short walk nearby or sit by Lake Victoria to settle in and adjust to your new surroundings.
After breakfast, we head out toward Queen Elizabeth National Park. The route takes you through Uganda’s countryside, with glimpses of farming villages, hills, and everyday life. It’s a full-day drive, though an overnight stop in Fort Portal is a great option if you prefer a slower pace.
Start the day with a morning game drive through the park’s plains, where lions, elephants, buffaloes, leopards, and antelope species are often spotted.
Later, enjoy a boat ride on the Kazinga Channel. This area is known for hippos, crocodiles, birds, and possibly elephants along the shore. The evening skies often bring rich colors over the water.
We begin early for Bwindi Impenetrable National Park. The road gets rugged as we move closer, but arriving in this ancient forest—home to endangered mountain gorillas—is a highlight of the trip. The park is also recognized as a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
After breakfast, set off with guides to track a gorilla family. The trek varies in length depending on the group’s location and can be demanding, with steep or muddy trails.
Once located, you’ll spend about an hour observing the gorillas as they go about their day. It’s a calm, focused moment that leaves a lasting impression. Make sure to bring rain gear and layered clothing. Permits must be secured in advance.
Today, we drive to Lake Bunyonyi, a peaceful spot surrounded by terraced hills and dotted with islands. It’s a good place to slow down after your trek. Take a canoe ride, go for a walk, or just enjoy the view from your lodge.
We make our way back to Entebbe. It’s a long drive but offers time to reflect on your trip—from the wildlife of Queen Elizabeth to the gorillas in Bwindi and the calm of Lake Bunyonyi.
Depending on your flight time, a short stop at a craft shop or restaurant can be arranged before drop-off at the airport.
