Day 2: Chimpanzee trekking and Bigodi swamp walk.
On the second day of your 5-day Uganda gorilla and chimpanzee safari from Kigali, you will meet your driver guide and head to the Kanyachu Visitors Centre for a briefing on chimpanzee trekking after an early breakfast. You will be assigned a chimpanzee family to trek with and a park guide who is familiar with the forest’s routes after the briefing. Because they tend to roam from one spot to another in quest of food, chimpanzee trekking in Kibale Forest National Park might take anything from 30 minutes to 4 hours. Other primates, like the grey-cheeked mangabey, black-and-white colobus monkeys, red-tailed monkeys, and L’Hoest’s monkeys, as well as many bird species and vegetation, can be seen while hiking. Once the chimpanzees have been located, you will be given an hour to spend with them in their natural environment. During this time, you may observe them feeding, nursing, fighting, hunting, and enjoying the young ones playing in the trees while also learning more about their behaviors and taking pictures and video to remember the experience. After your up-close encounter with the chimpanzees, you will make the short trip back to the park’s administrative centre, where you will meet your driver guide and proceed back to the lodge for lunch.
After lunch, you’ll go on a fascinating swamp tour at Bigodi Swamp, where you may see a variety of birds, animals like sitatungas, and plants and trees, among other things. You will drive back to the lodge for dinner and the night after the swamp tour.
Day 3: Transfer to Bwindi impenetrable national parkÂ

Day 4: Gorilla trekking in Bwindi impenetrable national park.
On the fourth day of the five-day Uganda gorilla and chimpanzee safari that departs from Kigali, you will wake up early in the morning and enjoy a delicious breakfast together with packed lunch, and your driver guide will pick you up from the lodge to take you to the park’s headquarters for a briefing on the guidelines and requirements for gorilla trekking. After the briefing, a gorilla family to hike with and a park guide who is familiar with the gorillas and the jungle’s routes will be assigned to you. Depending on where the gorillas are, gorilla trekking in Bwindi Impenetrable National Park might take anything from 30 minutes to 7 hours.

After your hour-long encounter with the gentle giants, you’ll make the journey back to the park’s main office, where you’ll receive a certificate for taking part in gorilla trekking.
