Gorilla Tracking experience and community walk

You will have a heavy breakfast early in the morning and with a packed lunch you will transfer to the park headquarters for briefing. Later on at 9:00 a.m., you will set off along the tracks in the thick forest to go search for these great apes. Depending on the movement of these humble giants the walk might take between 2-6 hours before you encounter the gorillas. The walk is tiresome however meeting these great apes and spending some time with them while looking deep into their expressive brown eyes, is an exhilarating and heartbreaking wildlife encounter that Africa has to offer. Return to the lodge for relaxation and visit the community where you will be able to meet the short people known as the pygmies (Batwa). Return to the lodge for dinner and overnight stay will be at Bakiga Lodge.

Transfer to Queen Elizabeth National Park via Ishasha for tree climbing lions

You will have an early morning breakfast and drive to Queen Elizabeth National Park via Ishasha's side of the park for tree-climbing lions. However, there is no guarantee of seeing tree-climbing lions but the visit is worth it. You will reach the park in the evening hours and if time allows, you will go for a boat cruise on the Kazinga Channel. Here you will see a variety of animals and birds including hippos, buffaloes, elephants and many more along the water shores. There are also plenty of birds and for birders, this channel is another bird paradise. Your dinner and overnight stay will be at Aardvark safari Lodge on a full-board basis.
