Your adventure begins with a warm welcome at Entebbe International Airport, where a Safari Vacations & Travel Services driver will meet you and set off toward Jinja. Along the way you will pass through Mabira Forest, a lush tropical rainforest in central Uganda, along with tea and sugarcane plantations and lively roadside markets, arriving at Kalagala Falls in good time to settle in.
After breakfast, you will join fellow adventurers at the rafting company's offices for a safety briefing covering the dos and don'ts, along with an overview of the different rapid grades. Whether you prefer the milder Grade 3 rapids or the adrenaline rush of Grade 5, there is an option suited to your comfort level. You will then head to the launch point for a half day or full day white water rafting experience on the legendary River Nile before returning toward Kampala or Entebbe in the late afternoon.
Following an early breakfast, your guide will brief you on the day's long but scenic drive to Bwindi Impenetrable National Park in southwestern Uganda. You will stop at the equator for photos and a few fun science experiments before continuing to Mbarara Town for lunch. From there, the road winds through the rolling green hills of Kigezi, often called the Switzerland of Africa, before arriving in Bwindi by evening.
This is the day you have been waiting for. After breakfast, you will meet your guide and head to the park headquarters for a 7:30 am briefing on gorilla trekking etiquette. The trek itself can last anywhere from 30 minutes to several hours, depending on where the gorilla family is located that day, winding through dense forest along countless animal trails. Once you find them, you will spend a full hour observing these gentle giants up close, capturing photos and learning from your ranger guide about their behavior and conservation. Afterward, you will receive a certificate recognizing your contribution to mountain gorilla conservation.
After a final breakfast, you will be given a packed lunch for the road as your guide drives you back to Kampala or Entebbe International Airport in time for your evening departure flight.
