An optional hike to the top of the falls is also possible that will reward you with amazing views of the Uhuru and Murchison falls.

After breakfast we shall embark on our long drive to the primate capital of East Africa [Kibale Forest national park] via the Albert escarpment that will reward you with amazing views and a touch of the African village’s lookout.

DAY FOUR - Chimpanzee trekking and swamp walk

On this day we shall meet and greet the chimps that are close to the human race and view quite a number of other monkeys such as the red colobus, black and white colobus, mangabeys, blue monkeys and lots of birdlife. After the swamp walk we shall either decide to do a swamp walk in Bigodi or a community local food preparation and have a taste of the organic food delicacy.

The long awaited day is here when we shall encounter the Grorilla forest to meet and greet with the world’s most gentle primates in one of the dense tropical rainforests of the world that will reward you with once in a lifetime unending smiles and memories after setting eyes on the massive ‘Mountain Gorillas’. The trekking is never easy or hard, it’s always fun walking through the jungle and experiencing what life is like in the forest. The hike may be short or long depending on the Gorilla movements. We shall then drive to lake Bunyonyi after trekking. Arrive late for dinner at overnight.

DAY SEVEN - Activities At Lake Bunyonyi

The lake is home to 29 islands with amazing histories and a lot of birdlife, so if you’re a fan birds, you will probably have the best time bird watching. Activities include, Boat ride to the islands, bird watching, nature walks, quad biking and zip lining.

DAY EIGHT - Transfer to Lake Mburo National Park.

Refresh yourself with a swim in the pool upon arrival and enjoy lunch on Rwakobo Rock with scenic views on the Ugandan grassland. You will do an evening bike ride through Lake Mburo national park when the sun starts setting. We’ll see zebras, antelopes, baboons, long-horn cattle all from a very close range.

DAY NINE - Transfer back to Kampala

If you have a night flight, I will recommend that I take you to the craft market, visit the Gadhafi mosque (gives you an aerial view of Kampala city) and also an evening we can go to Ndere cultural centre for local dance performances which ends at 10pm. Such a plan would work if your flight is at 2 or 3am.
