6 Days Uganda Primate Explorer

Arrival at Entebbe Airport, you will be met by Kent Safari representative who will transfer you to your hotel for Itinerary briefing. If time permits, you will be transferred to the pier for the boat trip to Ngamba Island Chimpanzee Sanctuary, home to over 40 orphaned Chimpanzee, a worthy cause supporting the endangered Chimpanzees throughout Uganda. This trip will enable you learn about the plight of wild chimpanzees in the visitor’s center on the island as well as watching the orphaned chimps as they come in from the forest for their food. In the evening you will receive a pre-trip briefing at the hotel. You can also visit the wildlife education center in Entebbe, Kasubi tombs – the burial site for all Kings of Buganda, the Namugongo shrine where Uganda Martyrs were massacred, plus other cultural entertaining centers like National Theater, Ndere Culture Centre, Uganda Museum, Restaurants, Clubs and Bars.

Full day drive to Bwindi as you enjoy the beautiful sceneries of Uganda, stopping over at the Equator and Igongo Cultural Center for experience on the ways of life of the Local communities.

After breakfast you will be escorted to the park headquarters to meet your guide. You will trek into the forest on the slopes of the volcanoes led by experienced trackers who will bring you close to the families of Mountain Gorillas. These massively gentle primates are extremely rare, with less than 690 remaining in the world. The trekking may be fairly strenuous, at relatively high-altitude. These animals are highly elusive and it is not a guarantee that they will be seen. However, with the assistance of our experienced guides, chances are high that you will see them. After this seemingly hectic day’s Gorilla trekking expedition, you may choose to embark on forest walks with the guide or just relax in the evening.

Today those who have opted for two gorilla treks (additional cost) will set off once again into the forest. Those not opting for a second gorilla trek will be able to go on a forest walk in Bwindi looking for birds and other primates with a local knowledgeable guide or go on a community village walk, to experience the Culture of Batwa and Pygmies in daily Lives.

Travel into the Uganda highlands with great views and Vistas of this lush green area to Lake Mburo National Park. Here you may go on a walk with a local guide or on game drive in search of Zebras, leopards, Antelopes and Hippos that are abundant in the area. Take a boat Cruise on Lake Mburo in the evening to see a variety of bird species and other animals, as they graze and drink water on the lake shores.

Morning Breakfast, as we embark on a drive towards Kampala for your Flight. Stopover at the Equator and African Craft market on Masaka road for a photo moment and to purchase souvenirs.
