We rise for the day’s great adventure. With expert trackers from Tugende Afric and Kibale National Park, we venture into the dense forest for chimpanzee tracking. Walk amidst a symphony of birdcalls and rustling leaves for a chance to observe these intelligent, playful beings in their natural habitat—an unforgettable encounter in the Primate Capital.

After breakfast, we journey south into the rolling hills of the Ankole region. This scenic transfer offers a glimpse of rural Ugandan life. We arrive at the Nshenyi Cultural Village in the afternoon, where you will settle in and feel the slower, pastoral pace of life that defines this community.
