Day 1. Nairobi to Lake Nakuru National Park Highlights. Great Rift Valley. Lake Nakuru, Kenya.

Today we cross into Uganda, often referred to the Pearl of Africa owing to the country's immense beauty. After completing the entry formalities our journey takes us around the northern shores of Lake Victoria and on into the hustle and bustle of Uganda's capital city, Kampala.Day 4. Kampala to Queen Elizabeth National Park
Leaving Kampala at first light we journey further west, crossing the equator again back into the southern hemisphere. Encountering some of the iconic Ugandan Ankole (longhorn cattle) along the way, we meander through the lush rolling hills to our camp near Queen Elizabeth National Park.Day 5. Queen Elizabeth National Park, Chimpanzee Trek Highlights. Chimpanzee Trek, Kyambura Gorge, Uganda. Queen Elizabeth National Park, Uganda.

Today we get back into our Acacia vehicle and travel through the mountainous south western corner of Uganda to the lush and stunning Lake Bunyonyi, aptly called 'Place of Many Little Birds'. The lake is a beautifully tranquil spot where you can enjoy many activities in and around our camp.Day 7-8. Lake Bunyonyi, Gorilla Trek Highlights. Bwindi Impenetrable National Park, Uganda. Mountain gorillas.
We have two days at Lake Bunyonyi in order to enable us an opportunity to trek to the mountain gorillas.
