4 nights, 2 stops — gorillas & chimps.
From Kibale to Bwindi, the route is built around the gorillas and chimpanzees of the forests.
Round trip · returns to Kibale
Arrive near Kibale and settle in at the forest edge for the chimp tracking.
Track a habituated chimpanzee community on foot and spend a permitted hour with them, with the Bigodi swamp walk nearby.
Transfer to Bwindi and settle in, with time to get your bearings.
Trek with rangers to a habituated mountain gorilla family and spend a permitted hour in their presence, deep in the forest.
A final morning in onward — a last outing or a slow start as time allows — before the transfer onward and the journey home.
Firmer forest trails and the best trekking, with strong savanna game — the prime, busiest window. Permits go early.
A second dry window, again excellent for trekking and game, warm and largely dry.
A handcrafted log lodge above a crater lake near Kibale — one of Uganda's most beautiful places to stay.
A landmark stone lodge high above Bwindi, with sweeping Virunga views and serious comfort after the trek.
A Volcanoes Safaris lodge right at the forest edge at Buhoma, its bandas facing Bwindi itself.
A polished safari lodge, close to the forest for the chimp tracking.
