Pairing gorilla trekking with chimpanzee tracking means combining two of the world’s great ape encounters in one trip — gorillas in Bwindi, chimpanzees in Kibale Forest, roughly a day’s drive apart via Queen Elizabeth National Park.
Days 1-2: Bwindi
Transfer and gorilla trekking.
Days 3-4: Queen Elizabeth National Park
Ishasha, boat cruise, and Kyambura Gorge chimp tracking — a second chimp encounter distinct from Kibale.
Days 5-6: Kibale Forest
The main Kibale chimp permit and Bigodi Wetland Sanctuary.
Day 7: Free Day in Kibale
A second forest walk or rest.
Day 8: Return to Entebbe
The transfer back.
What to Budget
Gorilla permit, two chimp permits (Kyambura and Kibale), seven nights of lodging.
