This safari will also take you to Murchison Falls, Queen Elizabeth, and Lake Mburo National Parks, where you will see the different mammal and bird species on game drives and boat cruises. It will also take you on an on-foot rhino tracking and Bigodi Wetland for a nature walk. 📋 Key Details Duration: 12 days Style: Fully guided group safari by road with primate trekking Meeting point: Entebbe International Airport Group size: Priced per person sharing for a group of 10 people Minimum age: 15 for mountain gorilla trekking 🗺️ What to Expect You will have a first stop over at Ziwa Rhino Sanctuary in Nakasongola, where you will have an hour of rhino tracking experience, then visit the top of the falls at Murchison Falls NP, the powerful falls where the Nile squeezes through an 8m wide gorge and plunges with a thunderous roar into the Devil's Cauldron, creating a trademark rainbow. You'll have your breakfast very early in the morning, depart for an early morning game drive as early as 6 am, then join the boat cruise to the bottom of Murchison Falls. After checking into the lodge at Kibale, you will embark on a guided nature walk in the Bigodi Wetlands. You have a chance to spot 138 bird species. You will then report at the park headquarters at Kanyankyu at 7:30 am for chimpanzee trekking, spend one hour with them, and be awarded a chimpanzee tracking certificate. After lunch you check out and start the journey to Queen Elizabeth National Park for a morning game drive and a 2-hour boat cruise on the Kazinga Channel, which connects Lakes George and Edward. After your morning breakfast, you will check out of the lodge in Queen Elizabeth National Park and transfer to Mgahinga Gorilla National Park for golden monkey trekking at Ntebeko, with one hour once you have identified a group. After you'll check out and transfer to Bwindi Impenetrable National Park. You report to the park headquarters at 7:30 am for gorilla trekking, which is physically demanding but an exciting activity, and you may hire a porter at headquarters. The time allowed to spend with gorillas is 1 hour once you have found them. In the evening, Batwa pygmies will be invited to entertain you with their dances and storytelling. After breakfast at your Bwindi lodge, you'll transfer to Lake Mbu… ### Essential information _None._ ### What’s included Gorilla and chimps trekking permits Ground transport per private 4WD safari vehicle English speaking Verdoro driver guide Accommodation in places mentioned in the itinerary, based on a twin/double room Meals as described in the itinerary Mineral water in the safari vehicle Entrance fees and ranger fees for national parks Activities and excursions mentioned in the program ### What’s not included International flight Visa Cost for Golfing at the different places Optional activities Meals and drinks not mentioned above Items of personal nature Tips Transport to and from the meeting point if you do not use the included transfers ### Kit list Pack waterproofs, sturdy closed shoes, and a daypack for rhino tracking, chimpanzee trekking, golden monkey trekking, gorilla trekking, and the Lake Mburo nature walk, plus neutral safari layers for savanna game drives. Bring binoculars for Mabamba and Bigodi, a reusable bottle, insect repellent, and dry bags for cameras on the Nile and Kazinga Channel cruises. ## FAQs ### What is included in the package price? Gorilla and chimps trekking permits, ground transport in a private 4WD, an English speaking driver guide, twin or double rooms, meals as described, mineral water, park and ranger fees, and the listed activities sit in this group-tour price. The published rate is per person sharing for a group of 10 people, so rooming and vehicle use follow that departure size. ### What is not included? International flights, visas, golfing, optional activities, meals and drinks not mentioned, items of a personal nature, and tips sit outside the bundle. Plan flights into Entebbe separately, and keep cash or card for souvenirs after Bigodi, Batwa, or Mabamba days. ### How does chimpanzee trekking work? You report to the park headquarters at 7:30 am for a briefing, then trek in search of chimpanzees and spend one hour observing their behaviour, with other primates in the same forest. You are awarded a chimpanzee tracking certificate after the trek. After lunch you check out and start the journey to Queen Elizabeth National Park. ### What is golden monkey trekking like? After breakfast you proceed to the visitor's center in Mgahinga Gorilla National Park at Ntebeko for a briefing on the dos and don'ts while with the golden monkeys, then head inside the forest to search for them. Once you have identified a group, you are given one hour with the monkeys, and you can take as many pictures as you want before lunch and the transfer to Bwindi. ### How does gorilla trekking work on this safari? You report to the park headquarters at 7:30 am for a briefing, carrying packed lunch and drinking water because you may stay in the forest until the afternoon. Gorilla trekking is physically demanding, and you may hire a porter at headquarters. You spend 1 hour once you have found them. In the evening, Batwa pygmies will be invited to entertain you with their dances and storytelling after dinner. ### Do we look for the shoebill? On the final morning you go for guided birding in Mabamba swamp in search for a shoebill, then you are transferred to Entebbe International Airport. Share outbound flight times when you book so the swamp boat and the airport drop off stay realistic for check-in. ### How fit should I be? Mountain gorilla trekking is for travellers aged 15 and over and is physically demanding. Chimpanzee and golden monkey treks are also on foot after park briefings. Rhino tracking at Ziwa is a guided walk. Game drives are mostly seated and Nile and Kazinga cruises are gentle. Share fitness notes when you book so we pace a group of ten. ### Where do we stay? Night one is your booked hotel after the Entebbe welcome. Murchison, Kibale, Queen Elizabeth, Mgahinga, Bwindi, and Lake Mburo nights use the lodges on the itinerary, with a Batwa evening at Bwindi after gorilla tracking. The night before departure is at your lodge after the Equator stop, so the Mabamba shoebill morning can start fresh before the airport transfer. ### Are meals included? Meals are as described in the itinerary, with breakfast, lunch, and dinner on safari days, plus mineral water in the safari vehicle. Tell us vegetarian, vegan, or allergy requirements when you book so kitchens and picnic boxes can be planned for ten people. ### What should I pack? Pack waterproofs, sturdy closed shoes, and a daypack for rhino, chimpanzee, golden monkey, and gorilla trekking, plus neutral safari layers for savanna drives. Add binoculars for Mabamba and Bigodi birds, a reusable bottle, and dry bags for cameras on the Nile and Kazinga cruises. ## Media - **Primary image URL (resolved in app; may be absolute)**: https://adventuro.com/cdn-cgi/image/width=1200,format=auto,quality=90/https://media.adventuro.com/public/dae165b8-e890-435f-b6f8-2e578da406df/71cf3bed-0360-42ee-b48a-7b3bbe910587/original.jpg - **Gallery image count**: 11 ## Limitations - Availability, exact session times, and final price may depend on the live booking flow. - This Markdown is generated from the same catalog fields as the public HTML page at the canonical URL above.
