Day 1: Murchison Falls National Park

• We set off for The Murchison Falls National Park in the direction of the Moraine River along with your team this morning.
• Murchison Falls, also known as the Kabaraga Falls, is a waterfall on the great Nile River within Murchison National Park.
• It is one of the finest National Parks in Uganda.
• Your guide will explain the activities for the next day once you've settled in at your Masindi accommodation.
• Meals: Lunch, Dinner
• Accommodation: Kabalega Wilderness Lodge

Day 2: Budongo Central Forest Reserve

• Budongo Forest is Uganda's biggest Mahogany forest, and it is home to the greatest number of chimps in the country.
• It is anticipated that there are between 600 and 700 chimps in Budongo Park, and we will be meeting with our chimp guide this morning to go on an adventure through the jungle in search of the chimpanzees.
• We'll go on a boat trip to the park as well. Note: Because the Chimp trekking is limited to 12 people, it will be divided between morning and afternoon if there are more than 12 passengers on a trip.
• As a result, you may find that you will do the game drive activity first, followed by the Chimp trekking or vice versa.
• Please allow for flexibility.
• Meals: Breakfast, Lunch, Dinner
• Accommodation: Kabalega Wilderness Lodge

Day 3: Lake Kikorongo

• This morning, we leave Masindi and travel south into the Queen Elizabeth National Park's fringes.
• Our accommodation for the night is located on a hill above Lake Kikorongo.
• Meals: Breakfast, Lunch, Dinner
• Accommodation: Simba Safari Camp

Day 4: Gorillas (Lake Bunyonyi)

• We return to the Equator for one last time, this time via stunning Lake Bunyonyi.
• We eagerly anticipate the next Gorilla trekking trip, and tonight we will receive a briefing on what to expect.
• Meals: Breakfast, Lunch, Dinner
• Accommodation: Lake Bunyonyi Overland Resort

Day 5: Gorillas (Lake Bunyonyi)

• The mountain gorilla is a critically endangered species, although the exact number of individuals is unknown. It has been estimated that there are fewer than 650 remaining.
• Visiting the gorillas is a wonderful way to assist their future on Earth since the money spent on permits goes towards their protection.
• Communities develop a love of nature, which will be essential for the future conservation of gorillas. As local communities change their attitudes towards animals and start to protect rather than poach, the mountain gorilla and its forests will be safe.
• Gorilla tracking is a complicated and challenging procedure. Because permits to visit the gorillas are highly restricted, we need flexibility in both the tour itinerary and the gorilla-spotting location.
• The home of the mountain gorillas is in sharp contrast to man-made boundaries, and their range includes Uganda, Rwanda, and the DRC.
• We prefer to visit the National Park in Uganda whenever possible, but this is dependent on permits.
• If we don't obtain permits to visit the mountain gorillas in Uganda, we'll let passengers know ahead of time that the trip will take them to Rwanda or the DRC.
• On your free day in Bunyonyi, you'll have the option to participate in a variety of optional activities.
• You can also go hiking or explore the area on a mountain bike.
• Meals: Breakfast, Lunch, Dinner
• Accommodation: Lake Bunyonyi Overland Resort

Day 6: Gorillas (Lake Bunyonyi)

• Although there are two days set aside for Gorilla Trekking, you will only spend one day on the trek.
• The other days are there to provide enough time to get permits and for the whole group to trek if more than six of you are on the trip.
• Meals: Breakfast, Lunch, Dinner
• Accommodation: Lake Bunyonyi Overland Resort

Day 7: Budget Gorilla Safari ends

• This morning we set off on our return journey to Kampala, where your tour comes to an end upon arrival in the city.
• Meals: Breakfast, Lunch
