Gorillas & Climbing Lions

About this Safari

This Ugandan adventure starts with a game drive in Ishasha National Park, searching for the famed tree-climbing lions. Next, trek through Bwindi Impenetrable Forest to encounter majestic mountain gorillas. Enjoy a cultural visit with the Batwa people before departing Entebbe.
Day 1 | Drive to Ishasha Sector
You will be picked up by our guide from the airport or your hotel in Entebbe/Kampala, depending on your arrival time. Our guide will brief you about your safari before you start the journey to Queen Elizabeth National Park – Ishasha sector. The park is located in the southwestern part of Uganda and is known for its diverse wildlife, including tree-climbing lions, elephants, hyenas, and the Leopard. You will have a stopover at the Equator, where you can take photos and buy souvenirs. Then proceed to Mbarara town, where you will have lunch before continuing to Ishasha.

You will drive for 1.5hours to Bwindi Impenetrable forest National park and have a cultural visit to the Batwa people (The Pygmies) who were the indigenous people that used to stay in Bwindi Forest.

Day 3 | Gorilla Tracking Adventure
Wake up and prepare for the unforgettable experience. After an early morning breakfast, head to the UWA headquarters for briefing before setting off to the forest in search for gorillas. The time taken tracking these Giant apes is unpredictable; however, it ranges between 2-6 hours depending on their movement. Tracking goes through steep rocks climbing up and down before you find Gorillas Camouflaged in thick vegetation. However, the thrill of encountering these giant primates erases the poor memories you went through in trying to find them.
