• Day 1: Arrive in Kampala. You will be met by our representative and transferred to the hotel for overnight stay.
• Day 2: Travel to Kisoro by van, accompanied by an expert in Ugandan wildlife and culture. This will take a full day. Overnight in hotel in Kisoro
• Day 3: Drive to Lake Mutanda which offers spectacular scenery with the backdrop of the volcanoes. Local canoes will be hired for visits to islands in the lake. After lunch, travel to Mgahinga National Park with a naturalist guide. This is Uganda’s smallest and probably most scenic national park, with more than 115 bird species in the park, including the rare Albertine rift endemics. The group shall embark on a safari by exploring the beautiful Gorge trail, which loops half way up Mt. Sabinyo, traversing a variety of mountain habitats. On the drive, search for dusky turtle doves, cape robincharts, brown-crowned tchagras, bronze sunbirds, black headed waxbills and streaky seedeaters which favor the scrubby vegetation in this area. When entering the bamboo belt at about 2500 meters, you may encounter the handsome francolin, kivu ground thrush and cinnamon bracken wablers. Plus, a group of habituated mountain gorillas has returned from their long “exile” across the border in Rwanda. The main body of the habituated group is now back in Uganda with only some females reportedly still lingering on the Rwandan side of the park.
  Spend the night at the same lodge.
  
• Day 4: Birding/Wildlife Viewing. Drive to Bwindi Impenetrable National Park while bird watching along the way. The park lies in the rugged Kigezi Highlands of south western Uganda, protecting a continuum of forest that ranges from mountain to lowland areas. It is this altitudinal variation, combined with its location within the Albertine Rift that results in Bwindi Impenetrable being the richest forest in East Africa in terms of its trees, butterflies and birds. Bwindi is home to more than 360 Mountain Gorillas - half of the world’s population. The bird list for the park currently totals 347 species. The forest has 10 of the 26 globally threatened species in Uganda, five of which are vulnerable. It boasts of 24 of the 25 Albertine Rift endemic species in the country and some, such as African Green Broadbill, Chapin’s Flycatcher and Shelley’s Crimson-wing have limited distributions elsewhere in their range.
  This is one of the richest faunal communities in East Africa. There exists about one half of the world's population of the endangered Mountain Gorillas. Other animals include the Black and white colobus monkey, chimpanzee, elephant, bushbuck, duiker, buffalo, golden cat, civet, bush pig, giant forest hog, black-fronted duiker, clawless otter, genet and many species of bats and rodents. Accommodations are in a lodge in the park.
• 
  Day 5: Gorilla Tracking. After breakfast, a distinguished scholar shall brief the group before heading out for the most exhilarating wildlife experience on this planet, the Gorilla trek. One single Mountain Gorilla survives per every 10 million people, and to have the opportunity to meet these gentle giants and be part of their family group for an hour is a rare privilege indeed. Accommodations in the same lodge.
• Day 6: Buhoma Village Walk. A guided walk starting at the Buhoma Community Rest Camp. The trail takes in visits to a local beekeeping venture, a Batwa traditional dancing group, a primary school, see banana beer brewing, visit with a medicinal healer, see a Butterfly pool and ends at a handicraft market. Accomodations in the same lodge.
• Day 7: Birding to Ruhiija. After breakfast the group travels to Ruhiija, bird watching along the way.  Ruhiija forms the southern part of Bwindi National Park and is home to many Western Rift Valley endemics, including the must-see Green Broadbill. The forest trail to the swamp rates as one of the most spectacular day walks on the continent. The trail offers uninterrupted views of virgin rain forest as well as the opportunity to see such Key species as Fraser's Eagle-Owl, African Green Broadbill, Grauer's Rush Warbler, Purple-breasted Sunbird, Blue headed Sunbird, Regal Sunbird, and many others.
