Day 1
Your tour begins today with a transfer from Kigali, Rwanda to Kibale National Park in Uganda. You will be picked up from the airport or from your hotel if you are already in Kigali. The journey through Rwanda's hilly countryside and into Uganda is beautifully scenic, and before long, you will arrive at the lodge. Once there, you can rest after the long drive or take a short walk to stretch your legs. Dinner and overnight stay will be at the lodge.

Day 2
Today begins with an early breakfast before driving to the park headquarters at Kanyanchu for a briefing on your chimpanzee adventure. Be sure to carry enough drinking water and a packed lunch. After being divided into groups of eight, you will enter the forest with a ranger guide in search of these incredible primates. You will spend a magical hour observing and learning about the chimpanzees before returning to the starting point. From here, continue your journey to Bwindi Impenetrable National Park for the ultimate gorilla experience, with lunch provided along the way.

Day 3
After breakfast at the lodge, head into the pristine jungle of Bwindi for the ultimate gorilla adventure. Following a briefing, you will be divided into groups of eight and then enter the forest. Be sure to carry enough drinking water and a packed lunch. Once the gorillas are located, you will spend one unforgettable hour with them, with plenty of opportunities to take photos. As Bwindi is a tropical rainforest, rain gear is highly recommended since showers can occur at any time of day. For a small fee of USD 20, you can hire a porter to assist you in the more challenging sections of the hike. After the trek, transfer to Volcanoes National Park, where you will have dinner and spend the night at the lodge.

I just came back from an incredible trip to Uganda and… WOW. This country is pure magic! The landscapes look like they came straight out of a documentary, huge lakes, forests where you half expect Tarzan to show up… and most of all, animals everywhere! 🦒🦍🦁 I had one of the most beautiful moments of my life locking eyes with a mountain gorilla – I swear we almost became best friends. Between safaris, I saw elephants, lions, giraffes, hippos… it’s basically a live-action animal kingdom. And the absolute highlight: a huge thank you to our guide Stuart 🙌. Not only does he know Uganda like the back of his hand – every path, every animal, every hidden spot – but he also has a heart of gold. Always smiling, funny, attentive, and eager to share his love for his country, he turned this trip into a truly unique and meaningful experience. Honestly, if you’re looking for a trip that combines adventure, nature, and unforgettable emotions, Uganda should be at the very top of your list. It’s a country that grabs your hand and leaves you with stars in your eyes ✨.

I just returned from this magnificent country and I must say it was an unforgettable experience. Uganda is truly a rare gem of Africa, with breathtaking landscapes, dense tropical forests, immense lakes, and, above all, incredible wildlife in the various parks we visited. I was lucky enough to see gorillas in the Bwindi Impenetrable Forest and chimpanze in kibale ,a magical and moving moment. As well as elephants, lions, giraffes, hippos, and even leopards during the safaris. The people are incredibly kind and always ready to share their culture and history. A huge thank you to our guide Stuart, who made this trip even more special with his passion, knowledge, and sense of adventure. 🙏 If you're looking for a unique, authentic, and emotionally charged destination, I highly recommend Uganda. It’s a journey that reconnects you with nature and leaves you with memories for life. 🦍🌿🦒

If you are looking for a fun guide who has an interest in helping you capture that perfect shot then look no further. Stewart is a wonderful guide who has a keen interest in photography and now runs his own safari business. Last August I spent a fun day with Stewart as my guide on Ugandas Lake Bunyoni.
