Day to Day Itinerary
Day 1
Land at Entebbe International Airport, meet a local representative and drive to the plush and inviting Hotel No 5, calmly located in the shady streets of Entebbe. Enter the gracious, elegant boutique hotel, and find your luxurious room opening into the garden and swimming pool area – find some peace and coolness before you set off gorilla trekking soon! Choose a spa therapy or an intense gym workout before a delicious dinner in the restaurant with superb wines and service. You will love the Entebbe setting on a peninsula of the pretty northern shores of Lake Victoria, Africa’s largest lake.
Days 2 – 4
3 NIGHTS, FULL BOARD BASIS
Enjoy breakfast at your hotel then fly from Entebbe Airport to Bwindi Impenetrable National Park. Settle into your suite at Clouds Mountain Gorilla Lodge and get ready for this unique connection with our ancestors in their home kingdom. Africa’s Mountain gorillas are the most uncommon primates in the world but fewer than 800 are left in just a few north African forests. Bwindi Impenetrable National Park is extremely steep, about 60% of it rising to more than 6,600ft so gorilla trekking can take 2 to 6 hours in total, to find the gorilla family.
Day 5
After a scrumptious breakfast, you will be transferred to the airstrip for your scheduled light aircraft flight to Entebbe. Arrive at Entebbe Airport and transfer to your international flight. See you again soon!
