17 Days Uganda Safari, wildlife & Gorilla Trekking
Day 1: Kampala / Lake Mburo National park
Have breakfast to drive off along Masaka road to Lake Mburo National park. Lake Mburo is one of the smallest Savannah parks with plenty of antelopes, hyenas, Giraffes, zebras, and many bird species along the shores of Lake Mburo. You will reach in the afternoon to have lunch and then proceed for a boat ride on Lake Mburo. This ride will reward you with view of animals like Hippos and crocodiles, as well as birds at the shores. Dinner and overnight at Arcadia Cottages / Rwonyo camp.
Day 2: Lake Mburo / Bwindi Impenetrable Forest
After a cup of tea or coffee, go for an early game drive (3-4 hours) to have a closer look at animals such as hyenas, Giraffes, zebras and antelopes. Return to your lodge for full breakfast and then later you will proceed to Bwindi Impenetrable national Park. It is most famous for mountain gorillas although the park is also a habitat for other animals and plenty of birds. You will reach Bwindi in the evening.

Day 3: Gorilla tracking in Bwindi forest
