SAFARI LODGES
The safari will take you through three Ugandan national parks. It starts from Kibale Forest, which is a tropical rainforest with thirteen species of primate. This therefore gives you the chance to track the noisy chimpanzee families racing through this verdant forest, as well as other primates such as the black and white colobus monkeys, Red tailed monkeys, L’Hoest monkeys among others. From the Bigodi Wetland, a nature walk through the trail may reward you with seeing many forests and swamp birds such as the Blue Turaco, Black casques hornbills, Black and White Hornbills, Yellow Backed Weavers, Wagtails, Cuckoos, Woodland Kingfishers, Flycatchers, Manikins among others.
The safari will also take you to Queen Elizabeth National Park whish is located on the savannah plains below the Rwenzori, the park harbours great game which include elephants, lions, buffaloes, hippos and leopards. From Kyambura gorge track our closest primate cousins- the fast moving and elusive chimpanzees. A hunt for the tree-climbing lions lounging on old fig trees is another activity that can be carried out in the park.
From Bwindi Impenetrable national park you will track the endangered mountain gorillas from the tropical moist forest. In Bwindi there are four habituated families of the gorillas. Looking deep into the expressive brown eyes of these gentle giants is surely the most exciting and unforgettable experience you cannot afford to miss. Other activities to be carried out include nature walks to see birds, monkeys and orchids.
