DAY 01Kampala – Kisoro via Masaka Highway
Your adventure begins early in the morning with a scenic drive from Kampala along the Masaka highway. The first stop is at the Uganda Equator, where you can take photos and enjoy a cup of coffee before continuing the journey. By midday, you’ll arrive in Mbarara town for lunch before proceeding through rolling hills, lush farmlands, and the breathtaking Kigezi Highlands.
The drive offers stunning panoramas of southwestern Uganda, often referred to as the “Switzerland of Africa.” In the evening, you’ll arrive in Kisoro, with the dramatic Virunga volcanoes forming a majestic backdrop. Dinner and overnight will be at your lodge in Kisoro.
DAY 02Gorilla Trekking & Lake Mutanda Boat Cruise
After an early breakfast, head to Mgahinga Gorilla National Park for the highlight of your safari, gorilla trekking. Accompanied by experienced rangers, you will venture into the bamboo forests and volcanic slopes in search of a gorilla family. Along the way, keep an eye out for other primates, including golden monkeys, as well as bird species and unique vegetation.
The moment you encounter the gorillas, led by a powerful silverback, is nothing short of magical. You’ll spend up to an hour observing them in their natural habitat before making your way back.
After lunch and a short rest at your lodge, the afternoon takes you to Lake Mutanda for a peaceful boat cruise. Surrounded by misty hills, dotted islands, and views of the Virunga ranges, this experience adds a serene and scenic touch to your primate adventure. Return to Kisoro in the evening for dinner and overnight.
DAY 03Kisoro – Kampala
Wake up to the cool Kisoro air and enjoy a relaxed breakfast at your lodge. With memories of both silverbacks and golden monkeys still fresh in your mind, you’ll begin the journey back to Kampala, with lunch and a visit at Igongo Cultural Centre. The drive retraces the beautiful countryside, giving you one last chance to soak in Uganda’s lush scenery before arriving in the capital in the evening. This marks the end of your safari.
