Crafts and Community Safari

Arrival at Entebbe airport and transfer to your accommodation nearby.

After a relaxed breakfast, you can choose to visit Kampala or explore Entebbe. You will have time to change money and have a briefing for the trip.
While in Entebbe, you could go for a short walk to Lake Victoria and visit the Botanical Gardens.

We are heading north. Our first stop will be at Ziwa Rhino Sanctuary where you will have an extraordinary experience observing and learning about the conservation of the highly endangered white rhinos.
On the way you will be treated to one of the loudest sights in Uganda at the top of Murchison Falls, where the powerful river Nile forces its way through a gap only 7 metres wide.

Today we will have an early morning game drive and a relaxing afternoon boat ride along the Victoria Nile River where you will encounter animals gathering on the riverbanks, and an abundance of crocodiles and hippos.

You’ll get to see the thundering falls from the bottom as the boat turns for the return journey. Depending on the water levels, you can hike to the top of the falls for a beautiful view.

We start the day with another boat trip, this time heading the other way to explore the Nile delta. Keep your eyes peeled for the prehistoric-looking Shoebill stork. An afternoon game drive follows.

Make sure you have a good breakfast, then sit back and enjoy the beautiful Ugandan countryside on our 6 hour drive to Kibale National Park. En route, you can have a stopover and enjoy a tea

After breakfast, you go for chimpanzee tracking in the jungle, Primate and bird watching can be the highlights of the afternoon walk in the Bigodi Wetland Sanctuary or you can go and explore Fort Portal city.

After breakfast, transfer to Queen Elizabeth national park, via the crater lake area, reaching in time for a relaxed evening at your lodge.

We will start the day with an early morning game drive while many animals are still on the move during the cool part of the day.
Stay alert and you could see lions, buffalo, elephants, antelopes, the elusive bush pig and you might even be lucky to spot a leopard! Hippos, buffalo, crocodiles and many species of birds can be spotted during the afternoon boat trip on the Kazinga Channel.

A leisurely drive through Queen Elizabeth National Park brings us to Ishasha, one of the few regions in Africa where lions can be spotted climbing trees and lounging on branches. Therefore, make sure that during the game drive you are not only looking out over the savannah, but also have your eyes focused up in the trees!

The search for the tree climbing lions continues on the morning game drive, after which we head to Bwindi Impenetrable Forest. The drive can take from 2 to 5 hours, depending on the condition of the road. You can opt to head out for a village or chameleon walk.

Put your boots on and grab a sturdy walking stick, today is a once in a lifetime experience: Gorilla tracking! It is one of the best Ugandan travel experiences you can have. You will be hiking up in the mountains which can take between 2 to 6 hours depending on how far the Gorillas are. But don’t worry you will be divided into closer or more distant groups according to your needs.

After a relaxed breakfast, you will visit a local women craft project in Bugarama, to learn and participate in craft making and share memorable conversations with the women, return to your lodge for a relaxed evening.

Today you will visit Kiyebe, the complete wonder village, depending on the weather condition.
This is perhaps one of the most remote, and traditional villages in Uganda. It is the only village with no access through by road as its main rough mountainous road only stops at the small trading centre called mukyogo a name originating from the only community elephant pond in Uganda. You can plant your own tree, collect honey from the beehive and then if you want, enjoy local and national beers with the villagers.
You will also have great local food that is fresh and organic and the dancing and singing of this community is nothing you can even imagine. Transfer to Kabale for an overnight.

After breakfast, you will visit a local hospital, the local market and a tea factory, before transferring to Lake Bunyonyi, one of the most beautiful and safest lakes in the country, free from crocodiles, hippos or Bilharzia.

Enjoy a day in the “Switzerland of Africa”, take a village walk or boat tour and go swimming in the lake at your lodge. You will also have time to Relax.

After breakfast, head out for a local crafts workshop. You will participate in Braiding and dyeing with natural colors.

You can enjoy lunch at the workshop or visit a small island for a meal.

After breakfast we will drive to Lake Mburo National Park. The park has a variety of animals such as leopard, zebra, impala, buffalo and over 300 bird species, many of which you will see on the afternoon game drive. Relax at your lodge in the evening.

You will have game drive in the morning and come for a relaxed breakfast. You have option of just relaxing at this lodge and go back for the afternoon game drive to this small but incredible National Park with many chances to just be with animals.

After breakfast, you will leave the park and on your way to Entebbe, visit a primary school in Masaka.
