Itinerary Summary </strong> <br>
Guide to African travel guide. Well come to Uganda vacation guide. Find listed travel deals in Uganda, objective information on Uganda adventure travel, mountain gorillas tour, trips, budget trips and hotel accommodation operated by Uganda safari operator.<br>
</p>
<p><strong>Day 1: Parc National des Volcans<br>
</strong>You are met on arrival at airport and transferred to Kigali. After lunch, depart for PNV at 2pm. The journey north goes through the beautiful terraced hillsides that characterise much of Rwanda's landscape, gradually climbing to the base of the awesome Virunga volcanoes, sometimes with as many as five peaks visible.<br>
<br>
<strong>Meals : FB<br>
Accommodation : Volcanoes PNV Virunga Lodge<br>
</strong><br>
<strong>Day 2: Parc National des Volcans<br>
</strong>Go gorilla tracking in Parc National des Volcans (on payment of supplement at time of booking). Tracking the gorillas through the lush forested slopes of the Virungas is a magical experience. If you are lucky you can get to the gorillas, spend an hour with them, and be back at the base in time for a late lunch. Some gorilla families, however, are more elusive, and tracking can take a full day, especially when it is wet and muddy.<br>
<br>
<strong>Meals : FB<br>
Accommodation : Gorilla Nest Hotel<br>
<br>
</strong><strong>Day 3: Parc National des Volcans – Gorilla Tracking<br>
</strong>Either go gorilla tracking again in Parc National des Volcans (on payment of supplement at time of booking), visit the golden monkeys, climb the Visoke volcano, trek to the remains of Old Karisoke, visit local communities or simply relax.<br>
<br>
<strong>Meals : FB<br>
Accommodation : Volcanoes PNV Virunga Lodge<br>
<br>
Day 4: Mgahinga National Park<br>
</strong>In the morning either relax or walk near the Lodge, visit the golden monkeys or trek to the remains of Old Karisoke. After lunch transfer to Uganda (clocks go forward 1 hour) where you can either continue directly to Mgahinga, or make a detour to Lake Mutanda. Here you can take a gentle stroll on the lake shores whilst watching local life, or weather permitting, take a canoe to Toyo Island, before continuing to Mount Gahinga<br>
<br>
<strong>Meals : FB<br>
Accommodation : Volcanoes Mount Gahinga Lodge<br>
<br>
</strong><strong>Day 5: Mgahinga National Park<br>
</strong>Either go gorilla tracking again, this time in Mgahinga on the northern side of the Virunga mountains, (on payment of supplement at time of booking), climb the Muhavura or Gahinga volcano, go for a nature walk, or visit Lake Mutanda<br>
<br>
<strong>Meals : FB<br>
Accommodation : Volcanoes Mount Gahinga Lodge<br>
<br>
Day 6: Bwindi National Park<br>
</strong>Drive to Bwindi through the Switzerland of Africa, with the road winding through many hills and valleys, with distant views of the volcanoes and lakes. Time permitting, go for a guided nature walk in the thick forest rich in birds, butterflies and monkeys. Alternatively, look for monkeys and birds near the river below the Lodge.<br>
<br>
<strong>Meals : FB<br>
Accommodation : Volcanoes Bwindi Lodge<br>
<br>
Day 7: Bwindi National Park – Gorilla Tracking<br>
</strong>Either go gorilla tracking, walking up steep densely forested hills (on payment of supplement at time of booking). In this thick and humid forest you almost have to cut your way through the undergrowth, a challenge that is richly rewarded upon your first sight of the shy and graceful gorillas camouflaged in the vegetation.<br>
<br>
Tracking in Bwindi requires stamina and can often take most of the day. Alternatively go for a leisurely walk on one of the different trails that meanders through the Impenetrable Forest.<br>
<br>
<strong>Meals : FB<br>
Accommodation : Volcanoes Bwindi Lodge<br>
<br>
</strong><strong>Day 8: Kigali<br>
</strong>Leave for Kigali in Rwanda via Kabale and Katuna, (Clocks go back one hour). Time permitting, go for a tour of the city including a visit to the market, a pottery project, a widow's project selling quilts, handicraft shops, the Franco-Rwandan cultural centre and a genocide memorial. Transfer to the airport.<br>

Meals : HB</p>
