Welcome to Uganda! Your TugendeAfric journey begins as our guide warmly meets you at Entebbe International Airport. We will transfer you to your boutique hotel in Kampala/Entebbe. After settling in, your guide will provide a detailed briefing on the incredible days ahead and share your final itinerary. The remainder of the day is yours to rest and acclimate, preparing for an early departure into the wild. 

Accommodation: Emin Pasha Hotel / Serena Hotel. Meals: Dinner.

After a nourishing breakfast, TugendeAfrica escorts you on a scenic journey southwest towards the legendary Bwindi Impenetrable National Park, a UNESCO World Heritage Site. The drive itself is an immersion into Uganda’s rolling landscapes and vibrant rural life. We will take you to your carefully selected lodge near your designated gorilla trekking sector (Buhoma, Ruhija, Rushaga, or Nkuringo). The evening is for relaxing on your private balcony, listening to the ancient forest whisper, and anticipating tomorrow's trek. 

Accommodation: Gorilla Safari Lodge / Crater Safari Lodge. Meals: Breakfast, Lunch, Dinner.

This is the day of a lifetime. After a very early breakfast, TugendeAfric ensures you arrive at the park headquarters by 7:30 AM for your essential briefing by Uganda Wildlife Authority rangers. With permits secured, you begin your trek into the dense, mystical forest. The hike can be challenging but is immensely rewarding. The moment you lock eyes with a mountain gorilla family in their natural habitat is profoundly moving and humbling. You will spend one magical hour observing them. After receiving your graduation certificate, you return to the lodge. If energy permits, TugendeAfric can arrange an optional, powerful cultural visit to the Batwa community. 

Accommodation: Gorilla Safari Lodge / Crater Safari Lodge. Meals: Breakfast, Packed Lunch, Dinner.

Following the intense emotions of the gorilla trek, TugendeAfric has curated a dedicated day for integration and restoration. After a leisurely breakfast, the day is yours to unwind. We offer guided meditation sessions to process your experience, optional spa treatments to soothe your muscles, and tranquil spaces for journaling and reflection. Simply relax at the lodge, surrounded by the serene sounds of the rainforest, allowing the profound encounter to settle into your being.

After breakfast, we depart Bwindi for the vibrant Kibale National Park, the primate capital of the world. Upon arrival and check-in at your lodge, you will have lunch before heading to the park headquarters for a 2:00 PM briefing. Your afternoon chimpanzee tracking adventure begins! Trek through the lush forest to find these charismatic and intelligent beings, observing their complex social interactions. The forest is also alive with other monkeys and bird species. In the evening, enjoy a hearty dinner and perhaps share stories around a fireplace. 

Accommodation: Crater Safari Lodge / Malakai Eco Lodge. Meals: Breakfast, Lunch, Dinner.

Your final full day with TugendeAfric is another opportunity for mindful rest and connection. After breakfast, we facilitate a gentle group sharing circle, offering space to reflect on the journey's purpose and the connections made with nature, wildlife, and fellow travelers. Spend the rest of the day meditating, enjoying the lodge's peaceful amenities, or taking a gentle nature walk. This day is designed to help you absorb the journey's lessons before returning home.

Enjoy one final Ugandan breakfast amidst the forest sounds. TugendeAfric then provides a comfortable transfer back to Kampala or Entebbe International Airport for your onward flight (e.g., to Arusha, Tanzania, or your home country). We hope you depart with a full heart, a renewed spirit, and unforgettable memories of Uganda's wild soul.
