HIGHLIGHTS

The Experience

You’ll stay in a lodge tucked deep in the jungle, with warm hospitality, sweeping views, and nature’s soundtrack all around. The main event? A bucket-list gorilla trek. With expert trackers leading the way, you’ll hike through thick rainforest until – there they are. A wild gorilla family, just meters away, totally unfazed by your presence.

Day 4 - Departure
The last day, wake to the sounds of the forest one last time. After breakfast, transfer to the airstrip for your return flight to Entebbe and onward connection to Nairobi.

And if you don’t have to head home just yet, why stop here? Extend your adventure and explore more of what Uganda has to offer. Head to Queen Elizabeth National Park to see the Big Five or North to Murchison Falls to watch the sun set while sipping drinks on the River Nile.
