At 6am the alarm goes off and at 7 you are on your way to spot the game in the park. After the ride through the park you go back to the lodge for lunch. At 2pm the boat trip on the Nile starts, to the bottom of the Murchison Falls. This boat trip takes about 3 hours and during the tour you will see a lot of wild animals, such as Hippos, Buffalo, Crocodiles and perhaps some Elephants. For people who are in good physical condition there is the possibility to be deposited at the bottom of the Waterfall and to take a hike up, along the Waterval. This hike is pretty steep and slippery. After the boat trip / hike it is time for dinner at the lodge.

Time to look for the Chimpanzees in Kibale National park. You first go to the rangers in the park for a short explanation. Then the walk starts in the rainforest, the walk can be quite heavy, take good shoes and possibly a poncho. There will be a lot of time to listen carefully to see if you can hear the Chimps, the rangers are trained in this so chances are that you will find the Chimpanzees! After the Chimp trek you can relax in the garden of the resort. If you still feel like a walk then you can go to "top of the world" where you have beautiful views over the area with a number of crater lakes
After lunch it is time for a walk through the marsh, during this walk you will spot many different birds and perhaps even some monkeys.
Day notes
Today you leave the Rainforest behind you and head to Queen Elizabeth National Park. En route you travel past the edge of the Rwenzori Mountains that border the Congo. After arriving at the park, we go to the accommodation and there’s a good chance you’ll spot some wildlife. Later you have a boat trip along the Kazinga Channel. This Channel connects two lakes and has many different animals particularly waterfowl. After the boat trip there’s time to relax then dinner and an overnight at the Lodge outside the park boundary.

Day notes
Today is a day of Gorilla trekking. After breakfast you have a briefing at the Rangers post. After the briefing Starts The Search To The mountain gorillas. Depending on the location of the family group the trek can take several hours. The landscape is mountainous so take good walking shoes, but the trek is beautiful. After this exciting day and unique experience there’s time to relax at the Lodge, explore the camp and take photos.
Optional: in case you are back early from the tekking you can choose to visit a cultural village.
Expert tips:
When you are with the gorillas:
- A 7 meter (21 feet) distance should tried to be observed at all times from the gorillas. The further back you are, the more relaxed the group will be.
- You must stay in tight group whey you are near the gorillas.
- Keep your voices down at all times. However, it is okay to ask the guide questions.
- Do not smoke, drink or eat when you are near the gorillas. Eating or drinking inevitably will increase the risk of food/drink morsels/droplets falling, which could increase the risk of transmission of diseases.
- Sometimes the gorillas charge. Follow the guides example (crouch down slowly, do not look the gorillas directly in the eyes and wait for the animals to pass). Do not attempt to run away because that will increase the risk.
- Flash photography is not permitted! When taking pictures move slowly and carefully.
- Do not touch the gorillas. They are wild animals.
- The maximum time you can spend with the gorillas is one hour. However, if the gorillas become agitated or nervous, the guide will finish the visit early.
- After the visit keep your voices down until you are 200 meters away from the gorillas.
General health rules:
Remember that mountain gorillas are very susceptible to human diseases. The following rules are ways to minimize the risk your visit might poses to them:
- Respect the limits imposed on the number of visitors allowed with the gorillas each day. This minimizes the risk of disease transmission and stress to the group.
- If you are feeling ill, or you are carrying a contagious disease, volunteer to stay behind. An alternate visit will be arranged for you, or you will be refunded your money.
- If you feel the urge to cough or sneeze when you are near the gorillas, please turn your head away and cover your nose and mouth in order to minimize the spread of bacteria or viruses.
- Always stay 7 meters (21 feet) away from the gorillas. This is to protect them from catching human diseases.
- Do not leave any rubbish (eg. food wrappers) in the park; foreign items can harbor diseases or other contaminants.
- If you need to go to the toilet while in the forest, please ask the guide to dig you a hole with his panga. Make sure the hole is 30 cm deep and fill it in when you are finished.
What to bring on your Gorilla Safari:
- Wear comfortable hiking shoes suitable for steep muddy slopes.
- Carry a packed lunch and enough drinking water.
- Carry rain gear, sunscreen lotion, a hat (as the weather is unpredictable) and insect repellent.
