You will be up early on the morning of your Gorilla Tracking for a good breakfast in preparation for the day’s physical activity. You will report for registration at the Uganda Wildlife Authority ranger station by 8 AM. After a briefing by the rangers, your gorilla trek will start. The trek usually takes between three and six hours so a reasonable degree of fitness is required, as well as a strong pair of walking boots or shoes. The rangers will guide you through the village gardens and into the jungle-like forest. They will escort you through the sometimes thick bush, occasionally hacking the dense undergrowth with a machete as you search to locate the gorillas. The mountain gorillas are under 24-hour monitoring for their own.

Wake up for breakfast, the journey from Bwindi to Murchison Falls would take the better part of two days by road, but that is reduced to less than two hours in your private plane. A light aircraft that drops you inside the national park, you will land on an airstrip that is often dappled with elephant dung. More than just a way to have expedited travel, your private plane will provide a compelling window into the heart of Africa. You will explore mystical landscapes from the air as you watch the colours merge and the stories of a continent come alive. Dusty red earth cascades beneath the wingtips, as the River Nile widens as it swerves north, and thick swathes of savannah are dotted with moving herds. Uganda really captures your imagination, evoking so many dreamy preconceptions of Africa. An aerial safari is an ideal way to take it all in.

Murchison Falls National Park has 76 mammal species and 451 bird species. the river Nile runs through the park and attracts Nile crocodile, hippo and the rare semi-aquatic Sitatunga antelope. Lion, leopard, elephant, buffalo, Rothschild’s giraffes, warthogs, giant forest hog, Uganda Kob, topi and waterbuck are just a few of the big-name mammals you may see.
On arrival at the pakuba Airstrip, you will be welcomed by our preventative/guide who will transfer you to your luxury hotel. Overnight at Baker’s Lodge.

Wake up at 6 am for your breakfast and then drive to the national park in due time for your ferry crossing and an early morning game drive. You may choose to take a packed breakfast to eat mid-morning or eat a full breakfast upon your return to the lodge. Admire the wildlife and birdlife of Murchison Falls National Park and ask your driver to guide lots of questions along the way. You will see some animals like elephants, Buffalos, Hyena, Lions, Giraffes, Warthog, Baboons, and lots of Birds by chance and much more.

After the game drive, you will return for lunch and an hour or use relaxation. One of the highlights of this Safari will be the boat ride on the Nile, in search for some aquatic animal, quenching their thirst by the river banks like Antelopes, Buffalos, Elephants and crocodiles. If time allows you will visit the top of the falls where you will have a magnificent view of the rapid falls gashing through to the Nile and also a moment to take pictures. Overnight at Baker’s Lodge.

Wake up for breakfast, after which your guide will transfer you to Pakuba Airstrip for flight.
