Morning game drive - Head to Ishasha sector - Connect to Bwindi
Be up early and proceed for an early morning game drive in the Kasenyi plains. Be on the lookout for Cape buffalos, herds of elephants, lions, and leopards (though hard to spot) among others. Return to the lodge for check-out and then head to the Ishasha sector in search of the tree-climbing lions. The chance of spotting these lions is about 70% though sometimes they are hard to spot (most especially when they are down in the grassland looking for prey). Should you find them up in the tree, the sight is spectacular and memorable.
From Ishasha, connect to your accommodation close to Bwindi National Park. With a strenuous day ahead, just check in at your accommodation and relax as you prepare for the Bwindi gorilla-trekking experience the following day.

After breakfast, proceed to the rangers’ post. You will receive a briefing on the do's and don’t's during trekking. Thereafter, you will enter the Bwindi Forest for your adventure. The area offers a dramatic steeply forested landscape and is incredibly dense. It is crisscrossed by numerous animal trails allowing access to tourists. The time it takes and the terrain varies with the movements of these great primates. Once you have located a gorilla group, you will be allowed an hour in their presence. The thrill of spending time observing these gentle but endangered giants is unforgettable.

Lake Bunyonyi is framed by lush, green-terraced hills that reach a height of 2,200 – 2,478m, but it’s the 29 islands of various shapes and sizes scattered across the water that make it most magical. You could admire this all day.
