Primates & Forests Your first introduction to Uganda’s wealth of wildlife finds you on foot in Kibale Forest searching for chimpanzee and other primates. In Queen Elizabeth NP, which straddles the equator, game drives are followed by a boat trip on the Kazinga Channel to observe wallowing hippos. Then the tension builds as in Bwindi Impenetrable Forest, trackers guide you to find the mountain gorillas. Encountering a family and sitting metres away from a great silverback is awesome! Lake Bunyonyi & Lake Mburo Time to relax and unwind at peaceful Lake Bunyonyi, meaning “place of birds”. You can walk the shores or try canoeing around the many small islands. More game viewing at Lake Mburo NP home to Burchell’s zebra, buffalo, bushpig and hippo. Then return to Kampala with time for optional rafting on the Nile or for a visit to chimp island. Ugandan Wildlife Uganda is renowned for its rich variety of game. Hippo and crocodile inhabit the water, while in the open savannah, elephant, lion, leopard, warthog and buffalo roam. The variety of birdlife is simply amazing with a staggering 550 species found in QEII NP alone – the dawn chorus will never be quite the same again! Responsible Travel The Adventure Company support the orphanage school in Bwindi, which was founded six years ago and operates solely on donations. You will have the opportunity to visit the school and see how they are progressing. If you would like to offer your support by taking a gift they would be delighted to receive any books or learning equipment, they have very little resources here at all but you will see a strong determination and great joy for life! The younger children are particularly short of early learning books and would be delighted for anything to help them as they begin to learn to read. Previous visitors have provided roofing tin for a new brick building. Their latest project is for a dining room, so children can have breakfast at school before starting their classes. Funds raised by gorilla permits aid conservation of the mountain gorilla and contribute to maintenance of the National Parks. A percentage of Park entrance fees is donated to local communities.
