A fly-in Uganda safari for families (ideally teens) visiting 3 of Uganda's most famous attractions; Kibale Forest National Park, Queen Elizabeth National Park and Bwindi National Park. First stop is Ndali Lodge which is near to Kibale Forest for your chimpanzee tracking. The guide will provide detailed explanations on not only primates, but also on all the forest's fauna and flora. At Kyambura Gorge Lodge, in Queen Elizabeth National Park you will primarily enjoy game drives keeping a watch out for lion, elephant, cape buffalo, leopard, hyena, Ugandan Kob, and many more. There's the opportunity to view hippos, crocs and birdlife on a unique boat cruise on the Kazinga Channel.
At Volcanoes Bwindi Lodge, your next stop, you are brilliantly located to allow easy access into Bwindi Forest for your gorilla tracking (minimum age 15 years). On the day of tracking, experienced wildlife guides, along with trackers and porters, will accompany you through the evergreen forest. After finding the gorillas, you will have an opportunity to be within meters of these magnificent apes, sharing in their daily lives and experiencing their day-to-day activities.
