Day 1: Travel from Kampala to Murchison Falls National Park

Depending on your flight arrival at Entebbe International Airport (EBB) in Kampala, or if you are already staying the night before in Kampala, Mambo Gorilla Safaris will set out as early as is convenient for you. However, please note that the travel to Murchison Falls National Park will take about four to five hours. This means that if you leave early in the morning, there will be a good chance for you to have an afternoon picnic at the top of the falls. The later you depart, the later you will arrive.

You will be driven toward the northwest route via Masindi town where you will have lunch. You will pass by the Ziwa Rhino Sanctuary along the way. The sanctuary has fifteen resident southern white rhinos, and it is the only place in Uganda where there are still wild rhinos. Later in the evening, after your quick visit to the falls, you can check in at your accommodation for dinner, relaxation and a night of good sleep.

Day 2: Game drive and boat trip

You will have a very early start today, starting with a cup of tea/coffee to warm yourself up. You will leave at 06:30 for the ferry crossing to the north bank. A full breakfast will be served on your return to your accommodation after the game drive activity. This early morning start will give you the opportunity to see predators returning to their hideouts.

You will take a scenic boat ride along the Victoria Nile which is part of the catchment of water under the falls. From this view, the falls will look very majestic. You will have the opportunity of having close encounters with basking hippos by the Nile bank and the chance to see the huge Nile crocodiles. This area is a haven for birdwatchers and non-birdwatchers alike, since there are about 450 species of birds in the vicinity. This activity will take about three hours. After the boat trip, you will return to your accommodation.

The chimps share ninety-eight percent of their DNA with humans, making it a very interesting and unique interaction. After the chimpanzee tracking in Kaniyo Pabidi Forest Reserve, you will head to Queen Elizabeth National Park and have lunch in Fort Portal along the way. On arrival, you will check in to your accommodation, have dinner, and get some rest to prepare for the next day's adventure.

There will be plenty of wildlife along the banks, giving you a good chance to see buffaloes, elephants, birds, and hippopotamuses. The Mweya Peninsula is a sight to behold as it overlooks the Katwe Bay of Lake Edward. It is considered as the heart of sightseeing in the park. Subsequently, the northern area of Kazinga Channel is near Mweya Peninsula. It is the body of water joining Lake Edward and Lake George and it is about forty meters long.

Day 6: Gorilla Trekking

We begin today’s activity with the much-awaited gorilla trekking in Bwindi Impenetrable National Park, home to half of the gorillas living in the world. After an early morning breakfast, with your packed lunch plus enough drinking water provided by the hotel well charged cameras and rain jacket drive to the park headquarters for the gorilla briefing before you start the trek. At the headquarters, briefing on the tracking etiquette starts before 8:00 am local time. During briefing, a total of 8 tourists are allocated a single gorilla family to trek according to fitness levels. Trekking in Bwindi is unpredictable because of the movement behaviors of the gorillas and therefore the activity lasts from a few hours to an entire day. These hours are spent in search of the gorillas however only 1 hour is spent the presence of these gentle giants. At the end you return to the park headquarters where you receive a Uganda gorilla trekking tour certificate. Overnight: Bakiga Lodge Meals: Breakfast and Lunch
