Uganda Gorilla Trekking & Masai Mara Safari

Spend your day in Entebbe exploring the unique attractions of this stunning lakefront city. Visit the spectacular Entebbe Botanical Gardens, a designated rainforest zone that homes over 300 exotic plant species. During your exploration of the gardens, keep a lookout for the diversity of bird species that inhabit the park, as well as the black and white colobuses and vervet monkeys that can be seen swinging in the trees.

Take the time to explore the Mbama Swamp on a boat ride, an area characterised by floating meadows and swamp forests. This wetland habitat is one of the few places in the world where travellers can see the endangered Shoebill stork, a bird species native to East Africa that is famed for its prehistoric appearance. 

Situated on the eastern edge of the Albertine Rift Valley, the Bwindi Impenetrable Forest is a pristine, primaeval forest believed to be 25,000 years old. Renowned for its rich biodiversity, the forest is home to 160 tree species, 350 bird species and a variety of primates, including more than half of the world's population of mountain gorillas. During your time at the lodge, you'll embark on an expert-led gorilla trek through the luscious forest and locate these creatures in their own natural habitat. A once-in-a-lifetime experience, this remarkable excursion will allow you to observe the gorillas without barriers at a comfortable distance. 

With its expansive golden plains, rolling hills and groves of acacia woodland that host an abundance of game, the Masai Mara is one of Africa's most sought-after safari destinations. An expert-led game drive through the reserve will showcase the vast diversity of wildlife that inhabit the park, including lions, leopards, cheetahs, gazelles, elephants and zebras, all roaming the same plains - a rare and spectacular sight.

If your journey coincides with the Great Migration, an annual event in which millions of wildebeests cross the plains, be sure to embark on a hot-air balloon ride to enjoy bird-eye views of this annual natural event.
