4 Days Gorilla Trekking Uganda & Queen Elizabeth National Park

4 Days Gorilla Encounter and Queen Elizabeth Wildlife Tour in Uganda (Starting from Kigali, Rwanda)

This 4-day gorilla and wildlife expedition offers a nature exploration in Queen Elizabeth National park and an extraordinary gorilla encounter in Bwindi Impenetrable National Park. The journey begins in Kigali, Rwanda, then proceeds to Queen Elizabeth national park for an evening boat excursion on Kazinga channel.

We continue to Ishasha to observe tree-climbing lions on our way to Bwindi, where we’ll have our mountain gorilla experience.

Queen Elizabeth National Park

Queen Elizabeth National park is a natural marvel. The park hosts diverse wildlife including four of Africa’s most iconic species (Lions, Leopard, Elephant and Buffalo), as well as Hyenas, Hippos, Crocodiles, Topi, Giant forest hogs, Warthogs, Uganda kob, and Waterbuck.

Beyond its fauna, the park attracts birdwatchers and features explosion crater lakes, plus freshwater bodies like Lake Edward and George.

Gorilla Experience

Bwindi Impenetrable forest is one of the few global locations where Mountain Gorillas reside, alongside Mgahinga Gorilla park, Volcanoes National park in Rwanda, and Virunga National park in DR Congo.

The gorilla experience is a captivating activity; you might traverse the forest for hours before locating these magnificent creatures.

Gorillas migrate daily based on food availability. They travel in groups, each led by a Silverback (a dominant male).
