Transfer to Entebbe on day five. After breakfast, you will transfer to the airstrip for your flight to Entebbe via Kisumu for immigration. This flight is in a smaller aircraft and helps us avoid the travel via Nairobi.

Transfer to Bwindi Impenetrable National Park on day six. Your day will start with an early breakfast and you will embark on your gorilla safari southwards to Bwindi Impenetrable Forest National Park.
The journey will offer you highway sights of rural and semi-urban Uganda with several fruit and vegetable markets along the roads, craft and drum makers and a stop at Uganda’s Equator monument where you will cross to the southern hemispheres.
After the experience at the Equator, the drive will continue with a stopover in Mbarara for lunch before proceeding to Bwindi with short bathroom stopovers and picture sessions of landscape and other attractions.
Go Gorilla trekking on day seven. Very early in the morning, your driver guide will pick you up from the lodge and transfer you to the briefing point at 7am before you start your gorilla trek at 8 am. On arrival at the briefing place, you will be welcomed and given seats until time of briefing as your driver guide registers you with the ranger on duty to be allocated a gorilla family. You will eventually meet your ranger guide and start your gorilla trek in the jungles of Bwindi.
Head to the forest accompanied by guides and rangers as you begin you search for gorillas. In the forest, you may see monkey species, butterfly species, mammals and so much more. Sometimes the forest is challenging and a good level of fitness will be required. At the end of the day, expect to be muddy and sweaty.
Once you see the gorillas, it’s okay to take photos with your camera or iPhone but avoid flash or else the gorillas might charge. You will spend between 40 minutes and 1 hour in company of these gentle giants. It will be such a life changing experience. Back to your lodge for your rest and overnight.
Transfer back to Entebbe on day eight after an early breakfast. This makes it the end of your trip. Take a rest and lunch at the equator. Take more photos if interested then head to Entebbe for your flight.
