Day 2: Scenic transfer to Bwindi – Equator stop + countryside views

After breakfast, begin your journey to Bwindi Impenetrable National Park, Uganda’s most iconic gorilla trekking destination. You will stop at the Equator for photos and a short break, then continue through beautiful landscapes of rolling hills, tea plantations, local markets, and changing vegetation as you approach the forest.

Drive time: approx. 8–10 hours (with stops; varies by sector and road conditions).
Arrive in Bwindi in the late afternoon for a calm evening together—perfect for a romantic dinner and early rest before your gorilla experience.

Overnight (Bwindi):

• Midrange: Ichumbi Gorilla Lodge

• Luxury: Four Gorillas Lodge

Day 3: Gorilla Trekking or Gorilla Habituation (4 hours) in Bwindi Forest

Today is the highlight of your 7 days Uganda honeymoon Safari, an unforgettable encounter with mountain gorillas in the wild.

After an early breakfast, you will transfer to the park briefing for trek allocation and safety instructions. Then, you will enter the forest with expert rangers and trackers. Once you find the gorillas, you will enjoy an extraordinary time observing their behavior, family interactions, feeding and playful moments in their natural habitat.

Choose one of the experiences:

• Gorilla Trekking: 1 hour with a habituated gorilla family (classic option)

• Gorilla Habituation Experience: up to 4 hours with a semi-habituated group (more immersive and ideal for wildlife lovers and photographers)

Return to the lodge for lunch and a relaxed afternoon. In the evening, enjoy a private honeymoon moment, fireside relaxation, wine, and a romantic dinner in the forest atmosphere.

Overnight (Bwindi):

• Midrange: Ichumbi Gorilla Lodge

• Luxury: Four Gorillas Lodge

Day 4: Bwindi to Queen Elizabeth – Drive via Ishasha (tree-climbing lions)

After breakfast, drive to Queen Elizabeth National Park via the famous Ishasha Sector in southern Queen Elizabeth best known for its tree-climbing lions (often seen resting in fig trees). Enjoy a game drive through Ishasha as you continue north into the park, arriving at your lodge with sweeping savannah views.

Drive time: approx. 4–6 hours (including wildlife viewing en route).

Overnight (Queen Elizabeth):

• Midrange: Enganzi Game Lodge

• Luxury: Mweya Safari Lodge or Elephant Plains Lodge

Day 5: Sunrise game drive + Kazinga Channel boat cruise

Wake up early for a classic sunrise game drive, the best time for wildlife activity and golden-light photography. Expect a chance to see Elephants, Cape buffalo, Uganda kob, waterbuck, warthogs, and sometimes lions and leopards (sightings depend on luck and season).
(Note: giraffes are not typical in Queen Elizabeth—Uganda’s best giraffe sightings are in Murchison Falls National Park and Kidepo Valley.)

In the afternoon, enjoy the signature Kazinga Channel boat safari, one of Uganda’s most rewarding wildlife cruises. You will see huge pods of hippos, Nile crocodiles, and a rich variety of birdlife, often including African fish eagles, pied kingfishers, African skimmers, cormorants, herons and more. Along the shores you may also spot elephants and buffalo coming to drink.

Overnight (Queen Elizabeth):

Day 6: Chimpanzee trekking in Kyambura Gorge + intimate honeymoon dinner

This morning, experience chimpanzee trekking in Kyambura Gorge, a dramatic “underground forest” carved into the savannah—home to primates, forest birds, and stunning scenery. Chimp sightings vary, but the trek is always a beautiful, adventurous contrast to the open plains of Queen Elizabeth.

Later, enjoy a relaxed afternoon at the lodge. In the evening, we arrange a special intimate dinner with views of the park—a perfect moment to celebrate a honeymoon milestone, toast your journey, and create a memory that feels truly personal and exclusive.

Overnight (Queen Elizabeth):
