Day 4

You proceed to Bwindi, the home of gorillas.

Early morning you may have a game drive or OPTIONAL: at 7 a.m. the lion/leopard tracking (+220$). At Queen Elizabeth NP there is a unique opportunity to participate in early morning Lion and Predator tracking. This is a new activity and it's really worth it. You can follow the tracker car with our safari vehicle off the track and it is certain that you will see lions up close and probably at least one leopard. Another option might be a night game drive after dinner. This is only bookable, when we book a lodge inside the park for you and will cost 40$ pp extra.

Day 5

Your gorilla tracking day - today the magical encounter with our cousins will fill your day. We will check in with the local staff a few days before tracking to make sure we can find a good gorilla group for that can be reached with a not too strenuous hike. However, this cannot be determined exactly, because the gorillas travel at different speeds and you don't know in which direction they run in the morning. After the track you can relax in the lodge or request there for an additional nature or community walk.

Day 6

Transfer to Lake Mburo NP with afternoon game drive. Longhorn cattle, so-called Ankole cattle, are bred around Lake Mburo. The national park is a small but extraordinarily beautiful park. The only one with zebras on this trip. But also giraffes, buffaloes, antelopes including eland antelopes and impalas and much more. It is also a top destination for bird watchers. In the afternoon, instead of a game drive, you can also order horseback riding or cycling in the park. This must be booked a few days in advance and costs extra (price depends on the time spent and must be requested)
