Itinerary

The 6-day gorillas, golden monkeys, wildlife, and chimpanzee trekking at Kibale National Park safari offered by Bamboo Ecotours takes you to the most stunning tourist attractions in southwestern Uganda. The major highlights are game drives in Queen Elizabeth National Park, chimpanzee trekking at Kibale National Park, gorilla trekking at Bwindi National Park, and golden monkey trekking in Mgahinga Gorilla National Park. The tour starts in Entebbe/Kampala and ends in Kigali, Rwanda.

Tour program

Day 1

Transfer from Entebbe to Kibale National Park

Our representative will pick you up in Entebbe town or downtown Kampala and drive to Kibale National Park for about 6hrs. The drive to Kibale National Park will go through the amazing landscapes of western Uganda. You will arrive at Kibale National Park in the afternoon, ready to start dinner and a relaxed night. An optional community tour at the Bigodi Sanctuary can be organized.

Start point

Entebbe, Wakiso, Uganda

Day 2

Chimp Trekking at Kibale & Drive to Queen Elizabeth National Park

You will head to the Kibale forest immediately after breakfast to trek the chimpanzees in their forest home. If you are lucky on the trek, you might encounter other species of monkeys in the Kibale forest. These include the colobus monkey, olive baboon, and red-tailed monkey. 

Transfer from Kibale Forest National Park after chimp trekking to Queen Elizabeth National Park. The drive from Kibale to Queen Elizabeth National Park will go through the spectacular Fort Portal crater lakes. If time allows, there is an option to do the Kazinga channel boat trip to spot hippos, a range of birds, and other wildlife.

Day 3

Kasenyi Plains Game Drives and Transfer to Bwindi National Park

Kasenyi Plains game drive

You will start the day with an early morning breakfast at the lodge. Afterward, we proceed to the famed Kasenyi Queen Elizabeth National Park plains to spot wild animals. Kasenyi plains dwell in the vast savannahs of the Albertine Rift in Queen Elizabeth National Park. It will be a morning full of adventure! Expect to encounter lions, herds of buffalos, elephants, Uganda kobs, topi, and bushbucks. While spotting the "Big Five" in the park is not guaranteed, on a lucky day, you may site leopards to make it to the "Big Four." 

Transfer to Bwindi National Park. We will drive to Bwindi National Park after the game drives at the Kasenyi plains. The drive will go through the Mbarara-Kabale highway.

Day 4

Gorilla Trekking Adventure at Bwindi National Park

You will head to the Bwindi National Park gate immediately after breakfast to get a briefing about the gorilla trek. The national park guide will conduct a presentation covering what to expect during the gorilla trek. The national guide will assign the gorilla trekking group during the pre-trekking briefing. Other visitors will likely join you. The gorilla trek can take a few hours, depending on how far the gorillas are inside the forest. In the afternoon, there is an option to do a community tour (Batwa Village Tour, Coffee Making Experience and Village Walk).

Day 5

Golden monkey trek at Mgahinga Gorilla National Park & Transfer to Lake Bunyonyi

You will transfer from Bwindi National Park to Mgahinga Gorilla National Park to trek golden monkeys. The golden monkey trek will be done in 5 hours. Compliment the golden monkey trekking tour with a visit to Lake Bunyonyi. While at Lake Bunyonyi, there is an option to do an evening canoeing on the lake.

Day 6

Canoeing at Lake Bunyonyi & Transfer to Kigali, Rwanda

Start the morning with breakfast, followed by a canoeing experience at Lake Bunyonyi. Other activities at Lake Bunyonyi include bird watching, community walks, and cultural tours. We will then drive to Kigali in the afternoon. The drive from Lake Bunyonyi to Kigali is estimated to be between 4-5hrs.

End point

Kigali City, Rwanda

Please make sure to read the following terms and conditions set by Bamboo Ecotours regarding our safari services. It is entirely upon the client to read and understand these terms and conditions before finalizing a safari with Bamboo Ecotours. We welcome questions in case there is anything that needs further clarification.

1) Proposed Itinerary: Upon receiving an inquiry, Bamboo Ecotours will propose activities and lodging options for the safari. All proposed activities and places for accommodation are not considered final until the trip is paid for and confirmed by both the client and Bamboo Ecotours in writing.

2) Tour Inclusion: All tours specify what is included in the itinerary at the point the tour is confirmed between Bamboo Ecotours and the client. Bamboo Ecotours will work with the client to arrange activities, transport, park entrance fees, guides, lodging, and meals as requested by the client. Bamboo Ecotours is in no way obliged to cover any expenses not included in the agreed itinerary with the client.

3) Tour Exclusion: Bamboo Ecotours trips do not cover international flights, travel medical expenses, visa fees, drinks of any kind, gifts, tips, and other costs not included in the trip itinerary.

4) Pricing Policy: The quotation and terms there in agreed by Bamboo Ecotours and the client are final. However, when booking is in advance for gorilla permits and suddenly there comes a statutory raise in gorilla permit trekking fees, Bamboo Ecotours deserves the right to revise, change or alter the agreed tour quotation and itinerary to cover for the changes in trekking rates.

5) Gorilla tracking permits: Gorilla trekking permits are a property of the national park management and are subject to availability. Bamboo Ecotours can only guarantee availability of trekking permits after a trip inquiry is submitted. We encourage all prospective clients to make reservation for trekking permits way in advance of trekking. A 100% full payment for gorilla permits is mandatory when booking at least three months to tracking date. Gorilla trekking permit fees are 100% non-refundable but may be transferrable in very rare circumstances.

6) Cancellation Policy: Requests for cancellation (excluding gorilla permits) must be raised in writing. Bamboo Ecotours reserves the right not to honor any cancellation request not issued in writing. When cancellation is effected 25-35 days prior to the trip, a 50% charge will apply, 75% will be charged on cancellations effected within 2-25 days, and no refund will be issued with cancellation of 48 hours or less. Bamboo Ecotours reserves the right to deduct all processing fees and bank dues before a cancellation is finalized. For cancellation of gorilla permits, refer to policy #4 above.

7) Invoices and payments: Once the client has determined to purchase a tour and agreed with Bamboo Ecotours on the final rates, an invoice will be issued to the client and a payment should be scheduled in accordance with the terms stipulated in the invoice. Once the payment is received by Bamboo Ecotours, a confirmation of receipt shall be shared with the client.

8) Accommodation: Bamboo Ecotours will reserve accommodation as agreed upon with the client. However, accommodation is subject to availability especially around national parks. Bamboo Ecotours reserves the right to book accommodation within any distance to the tour activity point as long as the distance does not impede the client to enjoy the benefits of the tour. Bamboo Ecotours normally serves clients interested in budget and mid-range accommodation options. Clients interested in luxury accommodation should expect higher rates for tours.
