Following the briefing, you will be assigned a guide who will lead you into the forest to begin your chimpanzee trekking experience. Kibale is renowned for its population of chimpanzees, and this trek offers a unique opportunity to observe these fascinating primates in their natural habitat.

After a day of trekking, you will transfer to Queen Elizabeth National Park. You'll check in at your accommodation and have lunch. Afterwards, you will head to the Kazinga Channel for an afternoon boat safari. The Kazinga Channel is a natural waterway that connects Lake Edward and Lake George, which are both renowned for their rich diversity.

The chance of spotting these lions stands at about 60-70%, but sometimes they are hard to spot (most especially when they are down in the grassland looking for prey). Should you get to spot them up in the tree, the sight is picturesque and memorable. From Ishasha, you'll proceed to Bwindi Impenetrable National Park. This journey is so interesting as you get to enjoy the scenic view of the highlands of the great Kigezi region.

The time taken and the terrain vary with the movements of these great primates. Once you have located a gorilla group, you will be allowed an hour in their presence.
