Masai Mara & Gorilla Trekking Safari

Upon your arrival at Entebbe International Airport, you will be greeted and taken to your hotel in Kampala. You will have the remainder of the day to relax and prepare for your upcoming Masai Mara and Gorilla trekking safari scheduled for the next day.

You will depart in the morning at 7:00 AM, where our experienced driver-guide will collect you from a location of your choice in Kampala. Following a briefing regarding the itinerary for your three-day safari adventure, you will begin your journey to Bwindi Impenetrable National Park, located in the southwestern region of Uganda.

You will arrive at the lodge in the evening, allowing time for relaxation, dinner, and an overnight stay.

Experience a two-day adventure in Bwindi, featuring gorilla trekking and engaging with the local community. Following an early breakfast, you will walk to the park headquarters for a briefing before embarking on the gorilla trail. The tracking experience can last anywhere from 2 to 8 hours, or even longer, as you search for the gorillas. Once located, you will have the privilege of spending at least one hour in the company of these magnificent creatures. It is recommended to bring a packed lunch, as the duration of the trek can be unpredictable.

On the third days in Bwindi, you have the option to participate in a community walk after your gorilla tracking or simply relax at your accommodation, taking in the beautiful surroundings. After your community walk, return to your lodging to enjoy your evening, dinner, and a restful overnight stay.

In the early morning following your breakfast, you will embark on your journey back to Kampala. During the return trip, you will pause for lunch in Mbarara town, and after traversing through Masaka town, there will be a chance to stop at the Equator for photographs. You are expected to arrive in Kampala in the evening at your reserved accommodation, where you will enjoy dinner and spend the night.

Today, you will be transfered to Entebbe International Airport for your flight to Nairobi. Upon your arrival in Nairobi, our safari guide will meet you and facilitate your transfer to the Masai Mara National Reserve.

During this journey, you will traverse the Great Rift Valley, enjoying the picturesque views along the way, before reaching your reserved accommodation in the Masai Mara National Reserve, where you can unwind with dinner and spend the night.

After enjoying breakfast, you will embark on a full day of wildlife observation within the reserve. The area features picturesque savannah grasslands set against gently rolling hills. This reserve is renowned as the premier destination for game viewing in Kenya, boasting a comprehensive network of roads and tracks that facilitate close encounters and excellent photography opportunities.

You will pause for a picnic lunch at the hippo pool, where you can observe hippos and crocodiles. Following this, you will return to the lodge or camp for dinner and an overnight stay.

Additionally, there are optional activities available in the Mara, including a hot air balloon ride over the Mara Plain for an additional fee of $600 per person, as well as a visit to a Masai Village for cultural engagement at a cost of $20 per person.

Embark on an early morning game drive, as both nocturnal and diurnal animals are typically most active before the sun prompts them to seek shelter in the shade. This drive will take you through the Masai Mara plains until 8:00 AM.

Following this, you will return to the lodge for breakfast before departing for Nairobi, with lunch provided along the way. You are expected to arrive in Nairobi in the evening, where you will either be dropped off at your pre-arranged accommodation or transferred to Jomo Kenyatta International Airport for your subsequent journey.
