Day 1: Arrival in Entebbe and Welcome by Wagatil Safaris

Your safari begins the moment you arrive at Entebbe International Airport. A friendly Wagatil Safaris guide welcomes you and transfers you to your hotel. You will receive a short briefing about the 7-Day Uganda Primates Trekking and Murchison Falls Safari. After that, you can relax, enjoy dinner, and prepare for the exciting adventure ahead.

Day 2: Transfer to Murchison Falls National Park

On this day, you travel to the famous Murchison Falls National Park. The journey is beautiful, with views of small towns, green farms, and forests. Wagatil Safaris ensures you travel in a comfortable safari vehicle.
Before reaching the park, you stop at the Ziwa Rhino Sanctuary to track white rhinos. This is your first wildlife activity of the safari. After rhino tracking, you continue to the park and enjoy your first sight of the magnificent Murchison Falls. You then head to your lodge for dinner and an overnight stay.

Day 3: Game Drive and Boat Cruise on the Nile

Your third day is full of adventure. Early in the morning, your guide takes you for a game drive on the northern sector of Murchison Falls National Park. This area is rich with wildlife. You will look for lions, elephants, giraffes, buffaloes, hyenas, antelopes, and many birds.
In the afternoon, you enjoy a boat cruise along the Nile River. This is one of the most famous activities in the park. You will see hippos, crocodiles, and animals drinking water along the riverbanks. The boat takes you close to the bottom of the powerful Murchison Falls. From here, you can feel the strength of the water as it squeezes through a narrow 7-meter gap to form the world’s strongest waterfall.

Day 4: Transfer to Kibale Forest National Park

After breakfast, you leave Murchison Falls National Park and drive to Kibale Forest National Park. This park is known as the “Primate Capital of Africa” because it has many species of monkeys and the largest population of chimpanzees in Uganda. Wagatil Safaris makes sure the journey is smooth and enjoyable with several short stops along the way. When you reach Kibale, you check into your lodge and relax as you prepare for chimpanzee trekking the next day.

Day 5: Chimpanzee Trekking and Bigodi Swamp Walk

This is the day you meet the amazing chimpanzees. After a briefing from the park rangers, you enter the forest with your guide. Chimpanzee trekking in Kibale Forest is an exciting activity because you walk through thick jungle while listening to the loud calls of the chimps.
When you find the chimpanzees, you spend one hour watching them play, feed, and interact. This experience is memorable and emotional for many visitors.
In the afternoon, you explore the Bigodi Swamp, a community-run project known for birds, monkeys, and beautiful nature. Wagatil Safaris supports community projects, so this visit helps local people.

Day 6: Transfer to Bwindi Impenetrable National Park

After your chimpanzee encounter, you travel to Bwindi Impenetrable National Park, home of Uganda’s mountain gorillas. The drive offers amazing views of hills, crater lakes, and villages. Bwindi is a UNESCO World Heritage Site and has one of the richest forests in East Africa.
When you arrive, you settle in your lodge near the gorilla trekking sector. This is one of the most important days of your 7-Day Uganda Primates Trekking and Murchison Falls Safari, so you get time to rest and prepare yourself.

Day 7: Gorilla Trekking in Bwindi and Departure

This is the most special day of your safari. Early in the morning, park rangers brief you about gorilla trekking. After the briefing, you begin your walk through the thick forest. Gorilla trekking can take 2–6 hours depending on where the gorillas are.
When you finally meet the mountain gorillas, you spend one full hour observing them. This is a once-in-a-lifetime experience that many travellers treasure forever. Gorillas are calm, gentle, and intelligent animals, and watching them in their natural home is unforgettable.
After the trek, Wagatil Safaris helps you begin your journey back to Kampala or Entebbe for your flight. This marks the end of your wonderful 7-Day Uganda Primates Trekking and Murchison Falls Safari.
