What's waiting for you?
Lake Bignoni Amid the Green Hills
One of Africa’s most picturesque lakes, surrounded by steep, terraced hills and a scattering of green islands. The calm, smooth surface of the water, the mist over the hills, and the lush greenery create a landscape in Uganda that is completely different from the savannas and tropical forests.
PROGRAM
After breakfast, you’ll meet your driver and guide and depart from Entebbe for Lake Mburo National Park. The route takes you through the picturesque regions of central Uganda. Along the way, there will be a stop at the equator, where you can take photos and rest for a while.
After arriving and having lunch, an evening safari through the national park will begin. You’ll set out in search of zebras, giraffes, impalas, knyas, buffalo, and warthogs, and you’ll also have the chance to see many species of birds that inhabit the area.

In the morning, you’ll set out on a unique walking safari through Lake Mburo National Park, accompanied by an armed ranger. Instead of observing wildlife from a vehicle, you’ll explore the park on foot, learning more about its animals, plants, and the surrounding natural environment.
After breakfast, the journey will continue to Bwindi National Park. The route will take you through the picturesque regions of southwestern Uganda, with its green hills, terraced fields, and traditional villages.

After an early breakfast, you’ll head to the national park’s visitor center, where you’ll receive a briefing before beginning your trek. Then, accompanied by experienced guides and trackers, you’ll venture deep into the Bwindi Rainforest in search of a family of mountain gorillas that have grown accustomed to human presence.
Once the gorillas are located, you’ll have a full hour to observe them in their natural habitat. This is your chance to see up close how some of the world’s rarest primates live and interact.
In the afternoon, you’ll meet the Batwa indigenous people. During a walk, you’ll learn about their history, traditions, and way of life, which has been intertwined with the region’s forests for generations.
