Arrive at Entebbe International Airport, where your Wild Compass Africa guide will meet you and transfer you to your accommodation near Lake Victoria.

Depending on your arrival time, the rest of the day is free to rest. Your guide can also brief you on the safari and trekking programme ahead.

After breakfast, leave Entebbe and travel southwest to Lake Mburo National Park. Arrive in time for lunch before heading out on a guided nature walk.

Walking with a trained ranger gives you the opportunity to see zebras, impalas, giraffes, elands and a variety of birds from ground level. Later in the evening, return to the lodge for dinner before heading out on a night game drive.

The night drive offers opportunities to look for nocturnal species such as bushbabies, porcupines, genets, hyenas and, with some luck, leopards.

Start the morning with a game drive in Lake Mburo National Park, looking for zebras, impalas, buffaloes, giraffes, elands and other wildlife.

After breakfast, continue west towards Bwindi. The route passes through Uganda’s southwestern highlands, with cultivated hills and small towns along the way.

Arrive in the Buhoma area later in the day and settle into your accommodation ahead of the following morning’s gorilla trek.

After an early breakfast, head to the park headquarters for a briefing before entering Bwindi Impenetrable National Park with your ranger guides.

The trek can take several hours depending on the location of the gorilla family and the terrain. Once you find the group, spend the permitted viewing time observing their behaviour, including feeding, resting and interactions within the family.

After lunch, leave Bwindi and continue towards Queen Elizabeth National Park. The route takes you through the countryside towards the park, where you can settle in for the evening.

Begin with a morning game drive in the Kasenyi Plains, one of the main wildlife-viewing areas of Queen Elizabeth National Park. Look for lions, elephants, buffaloes, Uganda kobs, warthogs and other wildlife.

Later, take a boat cruise along the Kazinga Channel. The channel is known for its large numbers of hippos and crocodiles, as well as elephants, buffaloes and waterbirds along the shoreline.

After the cruise, continue west towards the Rwenzori foothills and your accommodation near the mountain.
