Morning game drive and boat cruise along the Kazinga Channel

Exit Queen Elizabeth National Park via the Ishasha area for Bwindi Impenetrable Np

After breakfast, travel to the Ishasha sector of Queen Elizabeth National Park, which is famous for its resident tree-climbing lions. The chances of seeing these lions are roughly 70%, though they can be difficult to spot at times (most especially when they are down in the grassland looking for prey). If you happen to see them, it's a beautiful and memorable sight. You will travel from Ishasha to Bwindi Impenetrable National Park. With a long day ahead of you, you will do little on arrival except check into your accommodation and relax before your Bwindi gorilla trekking adventure the next day.

Gorilla Trekking and Transfer to Lake Bunyonyi

After breakfast, proceed to the rangers' post. You will be briefed (by a ranger guide) on the dos and don'ts. Following that, you will enter the forest to begin your adventure. This rain forest is breathtakingly beautiful! The area has a dramatic, steeply forested landscape and is extremely dense, but it is crisscrossed by numerous animal trails that allow tourists access. The time and terrain vary according to the movements of these great primates. You will be allowed an hour in the presence of a gorilla group once you have located one. Spending time observing these gentle but endangered giants is an unforgettable experience. Return to your lodging, check out, and take a transfer to Lake Bunyonyi. Lake Bunyonyi is surrounded by lush, green-terraced hills that rise to a height of (2,200 - 2,478m), but it's the 29 islands of varying shapes and sizes scattered across the water that make it most magical—you could spend all day admiring them.
