Day 1 Arrival And Transfer To Queen Elizabeth National Park
12:00 am - 11:59 pm

Arrival And Transfer To Queen Elizabeth National Park

Welcome to the Pearl of Africa! The airport in Entebbe will be your arrival destination. You will be welcomed by our professional tour guide and given a brief overview of the 5 days ahead. You will proceed to Queen Elizabeth National Park for an evening game drive in the park. This park is the most popular savanna park in Uganda and is ideal for viewing lions, including the Tree Climbing lions, during a Uganda Wildlife Safari. This country is renowned for its diverse habitats, which include lakes, savannah grasslands, forests, and wetlands, all of which feed the country’s largest mammals.

‍

Your first day will already be full of natural wildlife as you encounter elephants, buffaloes, warthogs, and birds.

Our recommendation is to arrive the day before so that you can do some sightseeing in Kampala and Entebbe before transferring to Queen Elizabeth National Park. We are happy to assist with any planning.

Day 2 Chimpanzee Trekking In Kyambura – Afternoon Boat Cruise
12:00 am - 11:59 pm

Chimpanzee Trekking In Kyambura – Afternoon Boat Cruise

Drive to Kyambura Forest in the morning for a chimpanzee trekking experience. Observe the man’s closest relatives in the wild and watch them as they play, swing on tree branches and fight for food.

Africa’s Kyambura Forest has one of the highest concentrations and diversity of primates. This region is home to a large population of endangered chimpanzees, the red colobus monkey (endangered) and the rare L’Hoest’s monkey (vulnerable), making it an excellent location for chimpanzee trekking safaris.

In the afternoon, you will take a boat cruise along the Kazinga Channel, a wide, 32-kilometer long natural channel that links Lake Edward and Lake George, and is a dominant feature of Queen Elizabeth National Park. The channel attracts a varied range of animals and birds, with one of the world’s largest concentrations of hippos and numerous Nile crocodiles. At a lucky moment, some animals will be found drinking water, taking a bath or even hunting.

The Bwindi Impenetrable Forest in Uganda has one of the most bio-diverse systems on the planet. The mountain gorilla population within its borders makes up half of the world’s population. Due to its biological significance, the forest has been designated a World Heritage Site by UNESCO.
