After an early breakfast at Enganzi Game Lodge, you will head out for a morning game drive in Queen Elizabeth National Park. The game drive gives you a chance to explore the open savannah areas of the park in search of elephants, buffaloes, antelopes, warthogs, lions and many other wildlife species. The morning hours are usually rewarding because wildlife is more active before the day becomes hot.
Your driver-guide will take you through selected game tracks while sharing information about the park, animal behavior and the surrounding landscapes. Queen Elizabeth National Park is also known for its beautiful scenery, with views of the Rwenzori Mountains, crater lakes, savannah plains and wetlands that make the safari experience more interesting.
In the afternoon, you will enjoy the Kazinga Channel boat cruise, one of the most popular safari activities in Queen Elizabeth National Park. The boat cruise offers excellent chances to see hippos, crocodiles, water birds and animals coming to the water’s edge. After the boat cruise, you will return to Enganzi Game Lodge for dinner and overnight.

After breakfast at Enganzi Game Lodge, you will leave Queen Elizabeth National Park and begin the journey to Bwindi Impenetrable National Park. The drive takes you through beautiful southwestern landscapes, with views of hills, villages, farmlands and forested areas as you continue towards Uganda’s famous gorilla trekking destination.
Depending on road conditions and the planned route, the transfer may pass through scenic areas around the Ishasha region before continuing towards Bwindi. This day connects Uganda’s savannah wildlife experience with the mountain gorilla trekking adventure, giving you a clear change from open plains to forested highlands.
On arrival near Bwindi Impenetrable National Park, you will check in at Rushaga Gorilla Havens Lodge. The rest of the evening is for relaxation as you prepare for the gorilla trekking experience the following day. Your guide will brief you about the trekking time, what to carry and how the gorilla trekking day will be organized.

After an early breakfast at Rushaga Gorilla Havens Lodge, your guide will transfer you to the Bwindi park headquarters for gorilla trekking registration and briefing. The ranger guides will explain the trekking rules, safety guidelines and how visitors should behave when they meet the mountain gorillas in their natural forest habitat.
After the briefing, you will begin the trek into Bwindi Impenetrable Forest with ranger guides. The trek can take a few hours depending on the movement of the gorillas, the forest terrain and the location of the assigned gorilla family. As you walk through the forest, you may see different plants, birds and forest scenery before finally reaching the gorillas.
Once the gorillas are found, you will spend one unforgettable hour watching them feed, rest, move and interact in the forest. This is the main highlight of the safari and one of Uganda’s most memorable wildlife experiences. After the trek, you will return to the starting point and later transfer back to Rushaga Gorilla Havens Lodge for relaxation, dinner and overnight.

After breakfast at Rushaga Gorilla Havens Lodge, you will begin the return journey to Kampala or Entebbe. The drive takes you through the scenic highlands of southwestern Uganda, with beautiful countryside views, terraced hills, roadside markets and local communities along the way.
You will have lunch en route and continue through Mbarara, Masaka and other towns as you travel back towards central Uganda. Short refreshment stops can be made along the way depending on timing and your travel needs.
You will arrive in Kampala or Entebbe in the evening, depending on traffic and your final drop-off point. Your guide will drop you at your hotel, residence or Entebbe International Airport, marking the end of your 5 Days Uganda Midrange Gorilla and Wildlife Safari.
