In the late afternoon, a walk through Bigodi Wetland, a community-run sanctuary home to more than 200 bird species and lush forest vegetation.

Kibale → Queen Elizabeth Day 02
23 August 2026

Chimpanzee Trekking & Safari to Queen Elizabeth

Early morning departure in search of wild chimpanzees — following their calls, play and social intelligence is a moving experience. UWA (Uganda Wildlife Authority) rangers guide you deep into the forest. After lunch, drive to Queen Elizabeth National Park, at the foot of the Rwenzori Mountains. In the evening, a first game drive across the savannah in search of elephants, buffalo, antelope — and perhaps the first lions.

A Full Day in Queen Elizabeth National Park

An unhurried extra day to soak in the park at its own pace — morning and afternoon game drives across the Mweya Peninsula and the Channel Track, where elephants, buffalo and the park's resident lion prides gather along the water's edge. A relaxed lunch back at the lodge between drives, with time to simply watch the savannah unfold.

In the afternoon, a cruise along the Kazinga Channel, the waterway linking Lake Edward and Lake George: an extraordinary concentration of hippos and Nile crocodiles, surrounded by a multitude of waterbirds.

The Tree-Climbing Lions of Ishasha & Transfer to Bwindi

Departure for the park's southern sector, Ishasha, famous for its tree-climbing lions — a rarity in Africa. These big cats rest in the branches of wild fig trees, a sight found almost nowhere else on the continent. In the afternoon, a scenic drive to Bwindi Impenetrable Forest National Park, a UNESCO World Heritage Site home to nearly half of the world's remaining mountain gorillas.

Mountain Gorilla Trekking

Early morning briefing with the rangers before setting off for the ultimate experience: an encounter with a family of mountain gorillas. A walk through mist, vines and birdsong leads to the gorillas — their deep gaze, calm presence and interactions leave an unforgettable, almost spiritual impression. Return to the lodge for a relaxed afternoon.
