The Best of Uganda Safaris - 9 days of fantastic  Ugandan wildlife and scenery: 

Day 1 - The Safari begins:  We pick you at your hotel, airport or one of our Guesthouses and your African Safari begins.  This is truly a discovery of Uganda's best, a 9 day journey to some of the finest parks in Uganda.  You will enjoy your trip to Bwindi Forest through some wonderful Ugandan countryside.  We stop to have lunch in Mbarara at the Lakeview Hotel and then back onto the road to Bwindi Impenetrable Forest where you will stay at either at a better lodging such as Mantana Luxury Tented Camp or Buhoma Community Bandas which is a budget accommodation.  You will arrive in time for dinner and a quiet night near one of the largest concentrations of Mountain Gorillas in the world - Bwindi Forest.

Day 2 - Bwindi Impenetrable Forest: Have an early morning breakfast after a refreshing night and get ready to one of the most exciting days of your life.  There will be an early morning briefing and the tracking begins soon thereafter.  The actually gorilla tracking can be quite a physical challenge, at times when it involves extensive hill climbing, it may involve Ugandan assistance from the nearby communities who know every path and trail around Bwindi and who will assist you.  The tracking of gorillas can be from a couple of hours to an all day affair.  No matter what, it will be one of the premier events of your life.  Something not soon forgotten.  After your gorilla tracking it is lunch at your accommodation hotel or banda.

During the afternoon, depending on time available take a stroll through a Pigmy village and experience life as the Batwa people do.  This walk will give you a delightful insight into their culture and ways.  Afterwards return for a quiet evening only broken by the sounds of the nearby forest.

Day 3 - The Safari Continues:  Enjoy an early morning breakfast in Bwindi Impenetrable Forest and then depart for Mweya Safari Lodge in Queen Elizabeth National Park or Hostel.  Look out for wildlife after we enter the Park.  We will arrive at Mweya Lodge early and have lunch.  There will be an evening game drive before dinner at Mweya Lodge.  Look out over Kazinga Channel and enjoy the sounds and sights of the early evening...you will see quite a bit if you have a moonlit sky above.

Day 5 - The Best of Uganda Safaris continues:  One more breakfast near Kazinga Channel and then off to Kibale Forest and over 1000 chimpanzees and other monkeys.  Check in at Nadali Lodge or Rwenzori Travelers Lodge and enjoy dinner and a rest.  One of the nice things about travelling from park to park is that you will enjoy the sights and sounds of the various areas you will pass through.

We take you to Red Chillis Camp or cross the river to arrive at the comfort of Paara Lodge.  A delightful dinner awaits you, a view of the Nile, in many cases from your room or from your place of dining.  The sounds of the wilderness around you as you take your rest.
