Highlights of the Tour

Entebbe

The former center of Uganda’s government, Entebbe, is just a short drive from the current capital and offers plenty to keep visitors amused. Tourists can while away days on the beaches along the banks of Lake Victoria, stroll around the fields and forests of the Botanical Gardens, or pay a visit to Ngamba Island Chimpanzee Sanctuary, a haven for country’s remaining chimps.

Bwindi Impenetrable National Park

The Bwindi Impenetrable Forest is where you have the best chance of spotting a family of mountain gorillas going about their daily business. Once you have your permit you are led across the rugged terrain and though the awe-inspiring jungle, to the spot where the gorillas were seen the day prior. Tracking begins as you search and follow their movements. Aside from the amazing gorilla interactions there are numerous forest walks and 346 species of birds to spot, many of which show a kaleidoscope of colors.
