This 4 Days Safari will start and end in Kampala, Ugandas capital city. It involves visiting Kibale National Park which is home to Chimpanzees and other Primate species like the colobus monkeys, LHoests monkeys among others; the park is famous for chimpanzee tracking, bird watching, nature walks etc. Also visitors will visit Bwindi National Park which is located in South West of Uganda.
The park is home to the endangered Mountain Gorillas and over half of the world’s population can be found here (around 350 of them). Outside of Uganda they can only be found in Rwanda and the Democratic Republic of Congo – generally Mountain Gorillas don’t survive in captivity and therefore you are unlikely to see them in any zoo. Bwindi National Park is home to 5 different groups who are all habituated (accustomed to human visitors) and this is from where we run our Gorilla Tracking tours.
2 nights Bwindi Impenetrable Forest | 1 nights Kibale National Park
After your breakfast our driver picks you up, from your hotel/ residence and drive to Bwindi Impenetrable Forest National Park with brief stopovers at the local drum making center in Mpambile and, at the Equator for some photo taking for your memorable adventure moments and then en-route to Mbarara town for our lunch.
From Mbarara town we drive through Bushenyi, Ishaka, and view the tea plantations at Igara. Your road will then head even higher to where you can see the triangular peaks of the Virunga volcanoes of Rwanda and the Congo. We then drop down into a valley, to Bwindi Impenetrable Forest, home of the mountain gorilla. Tonight, you will sleep to the sounds of the mountain rainforest.

Kibale’s varied altitude supports different types of habitats, from wet tropical forest on the plateau to woodland and savanna on the floor of the Rift Valley.

Depending on the accommodation facility you are using, you could opt for an evening forest walk where you might spot nocturnal bush babies.
