7:00 am start and head to Kibale Park - the primate Capital, this is probably the longest drive of the trip. Carry snacks as it might be long before you get a decent meal. About 7hrs including breaks and lunch in Fort Portal town. At about 3.30 pm, we`ll drive to the Bigodi Wetlands Sanctuary. It is a jungle swamp and you cross the various sections by wooden boardwalks. Here you can see different flora and fauna that is jungle reminiscent. It is a great place for birding which includes the Great Blue Turaco. Primates can be found here, including chimpanzees at times. The sanctuary is also home to the semi-aquatic Sitatunga Antelope and other mammals. This is the area where the West African Jungle meets East Africa and the vegetation, plants, flowers, underbrush, trees, and Palms are worth a visit in themselves.

Day 3
Chimpanzee Trekking
Breakfast at the Lodge and we’re off to Kibale Forest Headquarters for Chimpanzee Tracking. We need to be at Kanyanchu Visitor Center no later than 8:00 am for the pre-trek briefing. This is a guided trek, and with 13 primates in the park, one usually finds at least 5 or six different types of primates. Then there is the forest itself with its beauty and ruggedness. Butterflies and exotic birds abound in this park, and the tracking experience takes in a lot more than Chimpanzee tracking, there is a beautiful and inspiring natural setting that is a haven for wildlife, birds, plants, and trees. The chimpanzees you will encounter are habituated, meaning that they are used to human beings. The Chimpanzee Trek is about 3½ hours in length, morning tracking is from 8-11:30 am.

Day 5
Game Drive | Boat Cruise
Would you like to have breakfast before or after your game drive? Our game drive starts at the crack of dawn, around 6:30 am, and we have the option to pick up a Uganda Wildlife Authority Ranger to join us. Morning is the prime time to witness predators returning from their night of prowling, and there's nothing quite like experiencing a beautiful Savannah Sunrise. From 2 pm to 4:30 pm, we will embark on a 2 and a half-hour boat safari along the Kazinga Channel, known for having one of the highest concentrations of hippos in Africa. This is a pleasant boat ride where you can get some great pictures of elephants, antelopes, crocodiles, monitor lizards, predators in late afternoon and buffaloes on shore. Hopefully, you will get an open-mouthed hippo shot with your camera. If time allows, we would be delighted to organize a late afternoon game drive and then head back to the lodge for dinner and an overnight stay.

Day 7
Gorilla Trek
A Gorilla Trek usually takes about 5-hours depending on the gorilla family’s location on that day and can be a bit on the rigorous side. We consider your input and place you with a Gorilla Family Group. Gorilla Trekking is well worth the money and time invested by you to be with the Gentle Giants of the Forest in Bwindi. What To Wear: It is best to wear light trousers, a long-sleeved shirt, boots, a hat, and some use garden gloves made of cotton to help you pull yourselves up on vines or branches, a light rain jacket, a daypack. You will spend one hour with them, which is a once-in-a-lifetime experience for most. There are rules of conduct while tracking the gorillas and they need to be followed for the protection of the Mountain Gorillas and your well-being. After getting your share of pictures and spending time observing the gorillas, it is that which will remain long after you return home. After your trek, you will head back to the lodge for some Rest and Relaxation. Luxury lodge bordering Buhoma (Bwindi Impenetrable NP) without fences All meals included Drinks not included
