Colobus monkeys and other animals like antelopes, hyenas, Lion and many others in the middle
of savanna grassland. This gorge is a home of very many bird species.

We will return to the lodge for lunch and a chance to relax before taking an afternoon boat trip
alongon Kazinga channel. This will give you the opportunity to view wildlife up close: hippo’s
huff and spray mere feet away from the boat, buffalo linger in the shallows. The shores of the
channel are also home to an array of birds including pink backed pelicans, pied and malachite
kingfishers, saddle billed stork and many others. After this wonderful afternoon, a slow drive

Day 3

This morning, we will leave for Bwindi Impenetrable Forest National Park. We will
drive through the southern sector of Queen Elizabeth called Ishasha. Here we will take lunch
by the Ishasha River and try to find the famed Ishasha tree-climbing lions before continuing on
to Bwindi, home to the few remaining mountain gorillas. Bird life and primate life in Bwindi is
quite superb, and there is an incredible variety of flora. Bwindi is the Bird watchers haven! It
holds 348 species of birds and supports 24 of 26 Albertine Rift Endemics that occur in Uganda;
and seven red data book species. Once continuous with the forests of the Virunga Volcanoes
(Dian Fossey’s stomping ground), Bwindi is now an ecological island, surrounded by cultivation
on the rich volcanic soils. Overnight at Gorilla Resort/Buhoma Community Bandas (FB)

Day 4

Go gorilla tracking! Walking up steep densely forested hills before finally coming
across the gorillas camouflaged in the vegetation. An inspiring moment! Tracking in Bwindi
requires stamina and can often take most of the day. In the afternoon, go for a leisurely nature or
community walk.

visit to the market, a pottery project, handicraft shops, the Franco-Rwandan cultural centre and
the genocide memorial. Overnight at Gorilla Nest Lodge/Kinigi Guest house (FB)

Day 6

 Early morning you enter the gorilla sanctuary of Parc National des Volcans, the rain
tropical forest covering the hills surrounding Virunga Volcanoes. The trekking is a demanding
but rewarding experience. Ensure you bring with you enough water and the packed lunch. The
time spent in the forest depends on the movements of the primates in their natural environment.

you to Mbarara where you will stop for lunch before making our final descent to Lake Mburo
National Park. This Park is an extension of the Tanzanian plains with big herds of zebra, impala,
eland and other ungulates. Bird viewing opportunities are excellent - for birders, this is one of the
best places to find African fin foot, papyrus bush shrike. After checking in, go for a game drive
in the rolling hills and open grasslands. The lovely landscape is a home to Impala, Waterbuck,
Eland, Zebra, Buffalo, Klipspringers, Crested Crane, and the elusive Shoebill Stork.

antelope! You will arrive at Kampala in the late afternoon.
