Uganda Overlanding Tour(13 Days) offers adventure tourist a unique diversity of wildlife, natural beauty, and friendly inhabitants that all combine to make the country one of Africa's hidden gems. This Uganda group Tour includes the obvious attractions of trekking in indigenous forests to see wild Gorillas and Chimpanzees, as well as exploring vast water-ways, mystical villages hidden in mist, and the lesser known sights of Tree Climbing Lions, huge pods of Hippopotamus, and of course the endless variety of plains animals.

DAY 1: Jinja - Lake Mburo National Park
Departing Jinja at 08h00, we make our way through the vibrant capital city Kampala before starting our journey west. On our route today we will visit the drum market, a fruit market, and we will stop at the Equator. D

This afternoon we enter the Lake Mburo National Park, known for its plains game and large Hippo population we camp the night on the Lake shore.

DAY 2: Bwindi Impenetrable Forest
The driverguide start the day with a game drive / walk and then exit the park to travel through a landscape of rolling hills littered with banana plantations and herds of impressive long-horned Ankole cattle. This afternoon we travel on rough mountain roads, passing remote villages often shrouded in mist, toward the Bwindi Impenetrable Forest. Our camp for the night is at the edge of the forest. BLD

DAY 3 + 4: Bwindi Gorilla Trek
On one of these days we will partake in what is undoubtedly the highlight of the tour Gorillas Trekking! We split up into small groups and with local guides, trek up into the forest to locate and spend time with a family of these few remaining wild Mountain Gorillas.

As the Gorilla permits are limited we will allow two days for all of the group to partake, should all permits be available on day 4 we would visit Lake Bunyoni on Day 3. Whilst not Gorilla trekking we will enjoy village walks and will spend time searching for the magnificent birds inhabiting the fringe of the forest. BLD

DAY 5 +6: Queen Elizabeth National Park - Ishasha
Leaving the mountains and forests behind us, we drop down to the grasslands of the Queen Elisabeth National Park, here we will spend two nights camping at a remote camp. Besides abundant mammal, reptile, and bird species, Ishasha is renowned for its huge tree climbing Lions. The group will game drive extensively searching the tall fig tress for Lion, and the savannah for other game. BLD

DAY 7: Queen Elizabeth - Chimpanzee`s
Packing up early, we travel across the Park and through the Maramagambo Forest where we hope to encounter wild Chimpanzee and an amazing variety of birdlife. Arriving at Kyambura Gorge this afternoon, we hike down into the Gorge with a local guide and hope to spend some time with a habituated family of wild Chimpanzees. (Because visitors are limited some of our group may do this activity the following morning.) Tonight we camp in the Park. BLD

DAY 8: Rwenzori Mountains
This morning we will explore the Park further before continuing north to the Rwenzori - Mountains of the Moon. After setting up camp at a local community center, we will enjoy a lengthy walk through numerous rural villages and up into the forest to the Rwenzori lookout point. Rising some 5000 meters above sea level, the slopes of these mountains are covered in tropical forest and yet the peaks are often snow-capped, a bewildering sight considering their proximity to the Equator. BLD

DAY 9: Murchison Falls National Park
An early start, we leave the Mountains behind us and descend into the luminous green tea plantations surrounding Fort Portal. We cover vast distance today and mostly on rough roads. Our destination tonight is the Kaniyo-Pabidi camp in Murchison Falls National Park, this camp is managed by the Jane Goodall Institute and clients may opt for a second trek with the Chimpanzees here. (Own expense). BLD

DAY 10: Murchison Falls / Victoria Nile
The groups first stop today is above the Murchison Falls, a narrow gap though which the Nile River falls 40m into the Rift Valley. We will spend some time here exploring the Falls. Next we travel downstream where we board a boat that carries our group and equipment on a game cruise down the Nile to our campsite near the junction of the Victoria and Albert Nile. We will wild camp tonight in a big game area. (At times it may not be possible to travel by boat we will then drive by road.) BLD

DAY 13: Jinja
