Tour Highlights

This 5-Day Luxury Gorilla Habituation and Chimp Trek Safari in Uganda offers a unique opportunity to spend extended time with both mountain gorillas and chimpanzees in their natural habitats. This safari combines the gorilla habituation experience in Bwindi Impenetrable National Park with a chimpanzee habituation experience in Kibale National Park. This allows for a deeper understanding of these primates' behaviors and conservation efforts.

Day 1 Transfer from Entebbe to Bwindi National Park

You will be picked by Gorilla Explorers driver/guide to start your 5-day luxury gorilla habituation and chimp trekking safari to Bwindi Impenetrable National Park. Our safaris normally start very early in the morning with stops at the Equator crossing for photography and a lunch break in Mbarara town. You will then proceed to the southern part of Bwindi Impenetrable National Park because this is where the gorilla habituation experience is currently taking place. This journey is very scenic as you have an opportunity to see the Kigezi rolling hills and valleys as you travel to Kisoro or the southern part of Bwindi Impenetrable National Park. Also, you will stop by the equator for photos and stretching after the hours long journey. You will arrive late afternoon for Dinner and Overnight.
