  • Chimpanzee Tracking & Transfer to Semuliki National Park

    Tracking chimpanzees is a safari experience unique to Uganda. There is nothing more exotic than starring in a real African jungle adventure. You will get the real Ugandan atmosphere as you move through the bushes and watch the chimps swing through the steady branches.

    If you can’t get enough, you may opt to do the habituation experience, which means you can spend the whole day with these amazing creatures. In the afternoon, guests doing the Chimpanzee Tracking will continue to Semuliki National Park.

    Today’s activity begins with a game drive where you will not only see a number of wildlife but also witness various species of birds native to Central Congo. Semuliki National Park is home to a number of exotic Central African wildlife and Batwa pygmy community.

    This provides a taste of Central Africa without having to leave Uganda. After which, we go on a short walk and arrive to see the Sulphur hot springs in a hot mineral encrusted swamp. The Mumbuga erupting spring resembles afountain with its 0.5m high perpetual sprout, receiving its heat from the deep faults of East African Rift System.

  • Queen Elizabeth National park, Game Drive & Boat Safari

    We will set out for a real Ugandan African adventure traversing through the bushes of Queen Elizabeth National Park. This park has been previously known in 1952 as Kazinga National Park but was later on renamed to commemorate a visit by Queen Elizabeth II.

    Here you can see hippos, leopards, elephants, lions, and chimpanzees among 95 more species of mammals and over 500 species of birds. In the afternoon, we will proceed to Mweya peninsula for a boat safari where you will get to see crocodiles. Once again, feast your eyes on the wonderful wildlife before you while enjoying a relaxing cruise along the Kazinga channel.

    We will depart for Bunyaruguru to enjoy wonderful views of lush tea and fruit plantations and the Rwenzori Mountains. We will then continue to pass through Ugandan soil along Kagamba, Ntungamo, and Kabale, which is heralded as the Switzerland of Africa with its hilly scenery and breezes.
