7-Day Uganda Gorilla, Chimps & Lake Bunyonyi Retreat

7-Day Uganda Gorilla, Chimps & Lake Bunyonyi Retreat | Akagera & Apes

7 Days / 6 Nights Max 8 Guests Entebbe · Kibale · Bwindi · Lake Bunyonyi 5.0

Tour Overview

The Perfect Blend of Primate Adventure & Lakeside Relaxation

The 7-Day Uganda Gorilla, Chimps & Lake Bunyonyi Retreat is designed for travellers who want the full primate experience without sacrificing time to breathe. Two of Africa's most sought-after wildlife encounters — gorilla trekking in Bwindi and chimpanzee trekking in Kibale — are balanced with a Batwa cultural immersion and two nights of pure relaxation on the shores of Lake Bunyonyi.

Lake Bunyonyi, Uganda's most scenic highland lake, is studded with 29 islands and framed by terraced hills. Its bilharzia-free waters make it one of the few lakes in Africa where you can safely swim. The sunrise canoe safari across its glassy surface is one of Uganda's most serene experiences — a perfect counterpoint to the intensity of the forest treks.
