7 Day Gorilla, Chimp & Wildlife Safari
A 7 day safari which starts and finishes in Kampala. (The Bwindi gorilla tracking permit is included in the cost). This safari can also be done on a private basis.
This safari starts with Kibale Forest with its thirteen species of primate including the chimpanzee. Tracking the noisy chimpanzee families racing through this verdant forest is a thrilling experience. Together with Bigodi Wetland nearby, many forest and swamp birds can be seen. On the savannah plains below the Rwenzoris, see the great game of Africa in the magnificent Queen Elizabeth National Park - elephant, lion, buffalo, hippo and leopard. Track the fast moving and elusive chimpanzees in the Kyambura Gorge nearby. Around Ishasha go on the hunt for the tree-climbing lions lounging on old fig trees. Then continue to track gorillas in the primeval forest of Bwindi. Bwindi has four habituated families and the gorillas there live in thicker tropical forest and tracking is more challenging as the hillsides are steeper. You can also go for nature walks to see birds, monkeys and orchids.
On safari clients stay 2 nights at Ndali/Mantana Kibale, 2 nights at Mweya/Jacana and 2 nights at Volcanoes Bwindi Lodge.
