| Start: Nairobi
Scheduled flights: Nairobi Airport | Day 1 - 2 Lake Nakuru
You depart the colourful metropolis of Nairobi and head for Lake Nakuru. Numerous animals are found here, but the shallow soda lake is particularly known for its bird life. Westward from the Rift Valley, you pass through verdant tea plantations, as you head towards the town of Eldoret on the banks of the Naiberi River. [Camp LD] | Day 3 - 4 Kampala
Today you enter Uganda, the 'Pearl of Africa', and head towards Jinja. You visit the source of the Nile before you setting up camp on the banks of the White Nile. You spend the next night in the bustling capital of Uganda. [Camp BLD] | Day 5 Lake Bunyoni
You set off en route to the gorillas. This region is home to roughly half of the remaining 600 Gorillas remaining in the world. You spend the night in anticipation and finalising the preparations for the next few days of trekking. [Camp BLD] | Day 6 - 8 Bwindi National Park
An early start sees you enter the dense Bwindi forest. The trek through the forest is an unforgettable experience. At times the trekking can be demanding and the day long as you search for the elusive gorillas.
Experienced local guides lead us through thick jungle, tracking where the gorillas will have nested overnight. Gorillas are extremely sociable and interactive primates, groups normally numbering between 12 and 20 individuals. Most people's impression upon their first sighting of a 300kg silverback is a mixture of incredulity and awe. At close quarters the gorilla seems almost human in it's mannerisms.
This is quite possibly one of the most thrilling and evocative experiences that Africa has to offer, and certainly one that will remain an enduring memory from your travels. [Camp BLD]
(Your gorilla trekking permit is included in the local payment.) | Day 9 Lake Bunyoni
You return to Lake Bunyoni today for some R and R after the excitement of the last few days. [Camp BLD] | Day 10 - 11 Jinja
A long day's drive brings us back to Jinja where you can enjoy all the optional activities on offer. One of the best activities is the rafting on the Nile, the longest river in the Africa. [Camp BLD]
Optional Activities: Rafting and Riverboarding | Day 12 - 13 Lake Naivasha

Optional Activities: Masai Mara, Hells Gate NP, Elsamere | Day 14
