Highlights

Transfer to Bwindi Impenetrable Forest national park and Batwa Community Trail

Entebbe - On your arrival at Entebbe international airport (EBB), you will be met by a Dav safaris staff that will brief you. This is a long day drive of approximately 7 hours with lunch stop over en route. Though long, the drive takes you through different features to include tropical rain forests, savannah fields and the terraced hills of Kigezi famously known as the Switzerland of East Africa. Upon arrival in Bwindi we shall check in at the lodge and proceed to the Batwa community for the cultural adventure about these forest pygmies. You will spend the rest of day at leisure as you wait for the next day’s adventure. Meal Plan: Lunch and Dinner

Gorilla Trekking And transfer to Lake Bunyonyi for Canoe Ride

Kibale National Park - After an early morning breakfast, and with your picnic lunch we then take a short drive to the park offices for briefing where we meet the excellent local guides and trackers who give a talk on the etiquette of gorilla trekking. We then hike into the forest to a spot where gorillas were seen the previous night and track from there. Trekking may take anything between 1 to 6 hours depending on the location of the family and altitudes which is in excess of 7500 feet.

Transfer to Kampala via Equator line

Entebbe - After breakfast, start on the long drive back to Entebbe / Kampala with the memory of the great rare mountain Apes. Lunch en route and a stopover at the equator line for experimentation, arriving late in the evening to be dropped at Entebbe international airport at approximately 6 pm hence you have to book an evening flight!

Solo female traveler - I did a 5 days safari in Uganda including the gorilla trekking. Dave safari was simply fantastic! Travelling as a solo female I have to say I was a bit nervous since it was my first time in Africa. They are specialist in making tours as much personalised as possible. I was travelling in a comfortable van just for myself, which also had a small fridge with lots of water and power switches to charge electronic devices. The guide tour, Adison, was attentive and kind. He was also careful while driving and patient with stops anytime I required. Even though the tour was only 5 days and we had many things to see, I feel it was very well planned to allow exploring without feeling exhausting. Accommodation and food were really good. Especially, at Eshama Game Lodge where the staff was incredibly kind and allowed to live the real African experience with animals passing by. I’d highly recommend Dav Safaries to anyone thinking of doing a Safari in Africa. They will be my first option when I come back. A big thank you to the company and especially to Adison, the guide and driver, who made everything possible to make my first trip to África unforgettable.
