Gorillas and The Nile
Your journey begins in Entebbe, Uganda, where you relax and recover from jet lag. You then fly to Bwindi Impenetrable Forest for the main highlight — gorilla trekking — where you search for gorilla species like the Eastern and Western gorillas and observe them feeding and resting.
After your gorilla experience, you fly back to Entebbe and continue to Lemala Wildwaters Lodge , set on its own private island in the middle of the Nile River. Here, you can enjoy optional activities such as jet boating and world-class white-water rafting, while also spotting wildlife including otters, lizards, and diverse birdlife like cormorants and kingfishers from the lodge.
