A Wildlife and Gorilla Trekking Safari is a specialized, high-intensity, and, often,, once-in-a-lifetime adventure in Uganda or Rwanda that combines hiking through dense forests to encounter endangered mountain gorillas with traditional savanna game drives.
This immersive experience allows travelers to observe mountain gorillas in their natural habitat and, typically, includes viewing other wildlife like tree-climbing lions, chimpanzees, elephants, and crocodiles in nearby national parks.
Itinerary
After an early breakfast, you will be picked up by our professional guide to begin your journey to Queen Elizabeth National Park via the Kampala-Masaka highway. The journey lasts about 6 to 7 hours and includes two stopovers. The first stop is at the Uganda Equator crossing in Kayabwe, where you'll spend at least 30 minutes taking photos of this remarkable landmark. You can also experiment with how water drains (clockwise or counterclockwise) when placed in the northern and southern hemispheres. Next, you'll continue to the Igongo Cultural Center and Country Hotel, where you can enjoy delicious local and international dishes. You also have the option to tour the local “Erijukiro” Museum, which features original artifacts from the Ankole people. Continuing your journey, you'll pass through Mbarara, known as the "land of milk and honey," and Bushenyi, where the cool air and lush vegetation will leave you in awe. Finally, your arrival at Queen Elizabeth National Park will introduce you to a true paradise.
