VOLCANOES SAFARIS
Culture & Wildlife in Uganda
This 5-night journey takes guests from the deep jungle of Bwindi Impenetrable Forest to the open savannah plains of Queen Elizabeth National Park. Much more than a chance to trek the majestic mountain gorillas – spot lion and leopard, and even trek our closest living relatives: the chimpanzees. Join us on this Volcanoes Safaris journey, unfathomable beauty, culture, and wildlife awaits!
5 MAY
Your Volcanoes Safaris representative will welcome you upon arrival at Entebbe airport and transfer you to your hotel. If guests arrive prior to midday we are able to take everybody on a city tour of Kampala. Overnight at Protea Entebbe (Dinner not included)
6 MAY
After a hearty breakfast, we will set off for a morning departure to EBB to board a regional flight to Kihihi airstrip, approximately 1.5 hours from Bwindi Impenetrable Forest. After checking-in to our newly refurbished Bwindi Lodge, enjoy a delicious lunch and then embark on a community walk during which you’ll witness incredible views, meet locals, and try the regional drink of choice – banana beer. Dinner and overnight at Bwindi Lodge.
7 MAY
Early wake-up call and drive to the park headquarters by 7:30 am. This afternoon track the remarkable Mountain Gorillas in their natural habitat, the dense and almost impenetrable Bwindi forest. On your way back from tracking the gorillas, stop off at Bwindi Bar to enjoy a refreshing beverage and support the local community. Dinner and overnight at Bwindi Lodge.
