Chimp, savanna, and gorilla days alternate with lake and park transfers under one guide team for the full week. 📋 Key Details Duration: 7 days / 6 nights Group size: 4 travellers Meeting point: Entebbe International Airport Highlights: Bigodi swamp, chimps, Ishasha lions, gorillas, Mabamba 🗺️ What to Expect This guided canoe expedition follows the Lower Zambezi through flood-plain channels and island camps, with paddling distances set each morning for river conditions. Lake, savanna, and forest days alternate; evening plans cover shoe choice, rain gear, and breakfast timing for treks. Kibale forest humidity contrasts with Queen savanna breezes; repacking a day pack each night keeps trek kit separate from drive kit. Lake stops offer a slower pace between primate permit days. 📍 Location Kibale rainforest holds the world's richest primate diversity; Queen Elizabeth spans crater lakes and Ishasha's famous lions; Bwindi protects half the world's mountain gorillas. Lake Mburo adds compact acacia savanna and Mabamba adds Victoria marsh birding at the end. Kibale forest edges, Queen corridors, and Bwindi foothills are joined by realistic full-day transfers. Scenic stops and comfort breaks are built into longer sealed and park-road transfers on this route. ✅ Prerequisites Chimp and gorilla treks require forest walking on uneven, sometimes steep terrain for up to several hours. Basic fitness, valid passport, and required visas are needed; trekking permits are included when booked for your dates.
