5 Days Kibale & Bwindi Primates tour

Last night passed like a dream because you had to retire to bed due to jet lag fatigue. If you're lucky, your flight might arrive early in the day. If you're fortunate, you might be able to observe a variety of creatures at the Uganda National Zoo. Anyhow, today is the start of the five-hour journey to the popular tourist destination in Uganda. After breakfast in the early morning, your safari guide chooses you to take part in this exciting drive to Fort Portal town. After breakfast in the early morning, your safari guide chooses you to take part in this exciting drive to Fort Portal town. The 'Amabere Cultural Site,' a stunning fusion of environment and culture, is visited after lunch is served after your afternoon arrival. You arrive at your lodge in Kibale National Park in the evening, serve dinner in an hour, and then retire for the night.

Did you know that Fort Portal played a significant administrative function in Uganda during the British colonial era? There's a lot more to it than that, buddy; this area has some of the most bizarre geology on earth. Some of Africa's most majestic craters and hills surround this town. Kibale Forest is home to at least 13 different primate species, including as the Red-Tailed Monkey, Olive Baboon, Black and White Colobus Monkey, and Blue Monkey. A wide variety of birds, including the magnificent Great Blue Turaco, can be found in the woodland. If you're lucky, you might even see a meandering herd of forest elephants.

The majority of ape species in the world may be found in Kibale Forest, including our cuddly cousins the chimpanzees. Uganda is the best place to see them because there are only about 5,000 chimpanzees left in the wild there. The expert ranger takes you to track chimpanzees and also shows you the other monkey species that live in this tropical jungle, depending on your desire, in the morning or afternoon. The end result is an amazing woodland journey that includes an hour of up-close interaction with the chimpanzees.

We cannot, however, guarantee that you will see them because they are still wild animals. Your swamp walk will take you through grassland, tiny towns, and stunning scenery for two to three hours. Locals may probably wave excitedly at you along the way. During this journey, it's possible to observe three or four distinct primate species, but the highlight is definitely seeing the Great Blue Turaco.

Today you fly to Bwindi, a region of Uganda in the southwest along the borders with Rwanda and the Democratic Republic of the Congo. You'll go through a beautiful region of the nation called "Africa's Switzerland." It is true that you will be able to see lovely land used for agriculture, a bamboo forest, and breathtaking vistas of the Virunga Mountains. You'll stop for lunch at a tiny restaurant en route to Bwindi.

Trekking for mountain gorillas today. This is the main focus of the bulk of travelers' trips to Uganda. The only forest in Africa that can claim to be home to both chimpanzees and mountain gorillas is Bwindi Impenetrable Forest. Additionally, it features 113 mammal species, over 200 butterflies, 360 birds, and five different primate species. One of the 14 gorilla family groupings that can tolerate human presence for a brief period of time each day includes the gorillas you'll be tracking. Twelve of the fourteen habituated gorilla families in Uganda are prepared for gorilla trekking, while two are prepared for habituation. Each family is led by a dominant silverback.

Your journey will take you through forested hillsides, tangled vines, bushes, and bamboo before you arrive at the gorillas' habitat. Along the walk, your guide will point you signs of previous gorilla activity, such as nests, chewed bamboo shoots, and dung. Before one of the gorillas returns, it could take up to 7 hours to locate them. Once the gorillas have been discovered, your group will have a maximum of an hour with them. It is an incredibly moving and humbling experience to see a mountain gorilla up close. For the Batwa cultural tour in the evening, you transfer to Lake Bunyonyi.

After breakfast, travel back to Kampala or Entebbe (airport) with a stop at the Equator, the best place to find mementos. Your driver/guide will transport you to your Kampala/Entebbe hotel or the Entebbe Airport (only for flights departing at midnight or later are these options available). Accommodations for tonight are not included in the package. Please let us know if you'd prefer one (or more) nights in Entebbe or Kampala included. We had a great day together and appreciate you coming with us.
