Day 1: Transfer from Kampala or Entebbe to Kibale Forest National Park

Your 5 Days Uganda Primates Safari starts with a morning pick-up from Kampala or Entebbe by our professional safari driver guide from 4×4 Rent A Car Uganda. You will begin your journey to Kibale Forest National Park, the primate capital of East Africa. The drive takes you through beautiful countryside, local villages, tea plantations, forests, and rolling hills. On the way, you will have stopovers for photography, lunch, and relaxation. Kibale Forest National Park is famous for chimpanzees and has over 13 primate species including black and white colobus monkeys, red-tailed monkeys, vervet monkeys, olive baboons, and L’Hoest monkeys.

After arriving at the lodge, you will relax, enjoy dinner, and prepare for the chimpanzee trekking adventure the next morning.

Day 2: Chimpanzee Tracking in Kibale Forest and Transfer to Queen Elizabeth National Park

After breakfast, you will head to the park headquarters for a briefing before starting chimpanzee tracking in Kibale Forest National Park. Chimpanzee trekking is one of the most exciting activities in Uganda because it gives visitors a chance to watch chimpanzees in the wild as they feed, play, jump in trees, and communicate. The forest walk is also good for bird watching, photography, and nature lovers. During the trek, you may also see other primates and different bird species living inside the tropical rainforest. After the chimpanzee trekking experience, you will have lunch and later transfer to Queen Elizabeth National Park, one of the best wildlife parks in Uganda. The park is famous for lions, elephants, buffaloes, leopards, antelopes, hippos, crocodiles, and many bird species.

You will enjoy scenic views of crater lakes, savannah grasslands, and the Rwenzori Mountains during the drive to the park.

Day 3: Game Drive and Boat Cruise in Queen Elizabeth National Park then Transfer to Bwindi Impenetrable National Park

Early in the morning, you will go for a game drive in Queen Elizabeth National Park where you may see elephants, lions, Uganda kobs, buffaloes, warthogs, hyenas, and many other animals in their natural habitat. Morning game drives are the best because animals are more active during this time. After the game drive, you will return for breakfast and later enjoy a boat cruise on the Kazinga Channel. The Kazinga Channel is one of the best places in Uganda for seeing hippos, crocodiles, elephants, buffaloes, and water birds close to the water. After lunch, you will continue your journey to Bwindi Impenetrable National Park, home to almost half of the remaining mountain gorillas in the world. Bwindi is a UNESCO World Heritage Site known for gorilla trekking safaris, bird watching, forest walks, and cultural experiences.

You will arrive in the evening, check into your lodge, relax, and prepare for the gorilla trekking experience.

Day 4: Gorilla Trekking in Bwindi Impenetrable National Park

This is the main highlight of the 5 Days Uganda Primates Safari. After an early breakfast, you will report to the park headquarters for a briefing about gorilla trekking rules and guidelines. You will then enter the forest with park rangers and guides in search of a mountain gorilla family. Gorilla trekking in Uganda is a once-in-a-lifetime safari experience. The trek may take a few hours depending on the location of the gorillas. Once you find them, you will spend one hour observing them as they feed, play, rest, and interact with each other. Seeing mountain gorillas in the wild is an emotional and unforgettable experience. Many travelers describe gorilla trekking as the best wildlife safari activity in Africa.

After the trek, you will return to the lodge for relaxation. You can also enjoy an optional cultural visit to meet the local Batwa community and learn about their traditional forest lifestyle.

Day 5: Return to Kampala or Entebbe

After breakfast, you will start your journey back to Kampala or Entebbe with stopovers along the way for lunch, photography, and shopping for souvenirs.
