Inspiration for your own tailor-made trip
Kibale National Park & Semliki Wildlife Reserve - Bwindi Impenetrable Forest
100% customisable for you
The holiday properly starts this morning as you land in Nairobi and transfer across to catch the hour long, direct flight from Nairobi to Entebbe. Touch down on Ugandan soil before breakfast time. Once landed you'll be greeted by one of our team and then board a light aircraft headed for Kasese airstrip, just outside of Kibale National Park. From here the final leg of the journey is a two-hour drive to your lodge.
Having finally arrived and checked in, the rest of the afternoon is yours to settle in and enjoy the lush forest views and your new African surroundings.
Early this morning venture into the heart of Kibale National Park for a chimpanzee habituation experience. You'll be transferred by car from your lodge, which should take around 45 minutes. On your arrival, you will meet your guide and from there set off to where the resident chimpanzees built their nests the night before. As dawn breaks the habituated (meaning they are used to humans) chimpanzees will be waking up, and you can then spend the day following them as they build their new nest for the night. As well as getting a real insight into the behaviour and lifestyle of the chimps, over the course of the day you'll also learn how to identify them by their markings.
A picnic lunch will be served as you trek and you'll be back at your lodge in time to share stories of your day over dinner.
Today you head to the next stop on your Ugandan adventure, Bwindi Impenetrable Forest. Begin the journey with a two-hour drive back to Kasese where you'll take a light aircraft flight to Kihihi airstrip, which is just north of Bwindi Impenetrable Forest. From here it's a two-hour drive to the edge of the forest and your lodge.
Once you arrive, settle in with a stroll around the grounds and then tuck into dinner with a view across 127 square miles of 25,000 years old montane rainforest.
As the saying goes, all good things must come to an end, and sadly your Ugandan adventure comes to an end as you head back to the UK today. Start with the transfer to Kidepo airstrip, then catch a direct flight to Entebbe. Here you'll be met by one of our team and directed to check-in for your overnight international flight, connecting in Nairobi.
