This is the highlight of your safari! After an early breakfast, you will head to the park headquarters for a briefing from the Uganda Wildlife Authority rangers. You will be grouped into small teams and assigned a gorilla family to track. The trek through the dense forest can last anywhere from 2 to 6 hours, depending on the location of the gorillas. Once you find them, you will spend one magical hour observing their behavior, interactions, and movements in their natural habitat. This experience is truly unforgettable and one of the most sought-after wildlife encounters in the world. After the trek, return to your lodge to relax or engage in an optional cultural visit to the Batwa community, where you will learn about their ancient forest-dwelling lifestyle.

After breakfast, you will depart for Queen Elizabeth National Park, Uganda’s most popular safari destination, known for its diverse ecosystems and abundant wildlife. En route, you will pass through the Ishasha sector, famous for its rare tree-climbing lions. Unlike typical lions, these unique predators can often be seen resting on fig tree branches, offering incredible photography opportunities. Upon arrival at your lodge, you can relax before heading out for an evening game drive to explore more of the park’s wildlife, including elephants, buffaloes, antelopes, and leopards.

This channel hosts the highest concentration of hippos in Africa, along with crocodiles, buffaloes, and a vast array of bird species, including African fish eagles, pelicans, and kingfishers.
