Days
5 Days
Location
Uganda
Difficulty

Overview

Mountain gorillas now number over 1,000 globally and half live in Uganda, thanks to conservation funded by responsible tourism. In this five days, you will trek Bwindi’s rainforest to meet a mountain gorilla family, then cross to Queen Elizabeth National Park for classic savannah wildlife and a Kazinga Channel boat cruise. Drive times are thoughtfully planned to keep transfers short while maximizing time in nature, with the Ishasha route linking both parks and offering a chance to see tree climbing lions. Expect expert local guides, comfortable lodges, and a warm welcome that supports communities and conservation.

Difficulty Level

The tour is moderate. You will hike on steep, sometimes muddy slopes at altitude for 2 to 6 hours. Porters and trekking sticks will be available, and groups are assigned by fitness level. Dry-season departures are easiest.
