Arribada a Uganda i benvinguda a Kampala
Un representant de Watatu us recollirà a l'aeroport internacional d'Entebbe (entre les 13:00 i les 15:00 h de la tarda). Un cop reunits, ens dirigirem a l'allotjament ubicat a Kampala, la capital del país, on farem la presentació de tots els aventurers i aventureres. Tindrem la tarda per descansar i/o fer una passejada pel llac Victòria.
Ruta cap a Kibale: te, cafè i cervesa de plàtan
Comencem! Esmorzar i sortida en ruta cap al Parc Nacional del Bosc de Kibale (6–7 h en cotxe). Es tracta d’una de les últimes joies del continent africà i un dels llocs amb més densitat de primats del món. Aquí s’hi poden trobar fins a 13 espècies de micos, inclòs el ximpanzé. Durant el trajecte deixarem enrere la ciutat i ens endinsarem en els paisatges rurals d’Uganda. Arribarem a Fort Portal, on gaudirem d’un àpat local. De camí al nostre lodge a Kibale, farem una parada al mig d’una plantació de te per fer una foto i escoltar una breu explicació del nostre guia. Després d’arribar a l’hotel i descansar, ens dirigirem a Biogodi, on observarem el procés ancestral de torrar el cafè i aprendrem a preparar una beguda local única: cervesa de plàtan.
Chimpanzee Trekking in Kibale
This will be an unforgettable day. Accompanied by our rangers, we will venture into Kibale Forest to see the world's last wild chimpanzees. Once we locate a family, we will be able to observe them for an hour. We can observe their morning routines, the playful interactions between mothers and their young, or the territorial relationships among males. After the activity, we will enjoy a local lunch and have the afternoon to relax at our lodge.
Safari in Queen Elizabeth and boat trip on the Kazinga Channel
Early in the morning, we will head to the Kasenyi area for a safari to spot all kinds of antelopes, elephants, and, if we're lucky, lions. After a lunch break at the lodge, we will continue with a private boat safari on the Kazinga Channel, in search of hippos, crocodiles, and elephants that come to the banks to drink. We will return to the lodge to enjoy a sunset with savanna views and rest to prepare for the next day's journey.
In search of climbing lions in Ishasha and heading to Bwindi National Park
Breakfast at the accommodation and departure en route to Ishasha, the southern sector of Queen Elizabeth National Park. We will go in search of the famous climbing lions and other species of the area. After lunch, we will get to know the project “Save Wildlife Community” and continue the journey to the Impenetrable Forest of Bwindi. Right on the edge of the park, in Ruhija, we will spend the night and prepare for the excursion the next day.
Gorilla trekking in Bwindi
The day has come, the moment you have dreamed of all your life. Early in the morning we will explore the Bwindi Impenetrable Forest (habitat of almost 600 mountain gorillas, half of the world's population). After an informative chat with the rangers, we will begin the search for the last mountain gorillas on the planet. The walk usually lasts between 3 and 6 hours. Once we locate the family, we will have 1 hour to observe the behavior of these primates. Lunch in the jungle and return, in the afternoon, to the accommodation.
En route to Lake Mburo and a giraffe safari
We bid farewell to Bwindi and head towards Lake Mburo (a 6–7 hour drive). Along the way, we'll stop in Kabale to visit the local market before continuing our journey to our lodge in Lake Mburo. We'll have lunch at the hotel and have a chance to rest. In the afternoon, we'll embark on a walking safari and "walk among giants" within the park (a walking safari with giraffes). With 20% wetlands and 80% savanna, Mburo is home to incredible wildlife biodiversity: giraffes, zebras, impalas, buffalo, and leopards await us. Later, we'll return to the lodge and toast to a dream day.
Return to Entebbe and international flight
Hard as it is to believe, your adventure in Uganda is coming to an end. As we leave Mburo and the country's rural areas behind, heading towards Entebbe, we'll reflect on everything we've experienced during this unforgettable journey. Finally, we'll arrive at the international airport to head back home.
The Bwindi Forest, in Uganda, is a biodiversity sanctuary with a forest surrounded by fog, creating a magical and mysterious atmosphere. This ancient forest, a World Heritage Site, is home to one of the last populations of endangered mountain gorillas. With towering trees and rich flora, Bwindi is a labyrinth of life where the singing of birds and the whisper of the wind between the leaves form a natural symphony.
Kibale National Park is one of the country's jewels. This biodiversity sanctuary, known as the “Kingdom of the Primates”, is home to a surprising variety of wildlife, including 13 species of primates, although the real protagonists are chimpanzees. You can also hear the songs of more than 375 species of birds, as elephants and antelopes wander among the giant trees of the dense forest.

The Kiambura Gorge, located in Queen Elizabeth National Park, is a hidden haven of biodiversity in the middle of the Ugandan savannah. This deep and leafy valley is home to a wide variety of wildlife, with primates, especially chimpanzees, being its most emblematic inhabitants. In addition, it is an ideal place to listen and observe exotic birds, while small antelopes and baboons roam the paths of the forest. Kiambura offers a unique diving experience in a vibrant and protected natural environment.
Lake Mburo National Park is that compact jewel of Uganda where the savannah meets the water and offers a much more intimate and tranquil experience than the larger parks. “Where the whisper of acacias mixes with the chirping of hippos, creating the perfect setting to discover the elegance of zebras under the African sun.”
Queen Elizabeth National Park is one of Uganda's most iconic destinations, famous for the diversity of its ecosystems ranging from open plains to dense forests and wetlands. Elephants, lions, buffaloes and hippos can be spotted here, while boats sail through the Kazinga Canal, a strait that connects lakes Edward and George. It is a place where nature feels alive in every corner and every encounter with the fauna is unforgettable.
Twin Lakes Safari Lodge is a rustic and intimate accommodation located in the beautiful surroundings of the large crater field of Bunyaruguru in Uganda. It is located on the outskirts of Queen Elizabeth National Park and offers some of the most spectacular views in the entire country.
