A Classic Uganda Wildlife Safari Experience
The second day of your 5 Days Luxury Uganda Tour is a showcase of Uganda’s wildlife brilliance. Begin your day with a sunrise game drive across the Kasenyi plains, a popular arena for predators and prey. This segment of the Uganda safari offers sights of Uganda Kobs, topis, waterbucks, buffaloes, and sometimes elusive predators like lions and leopards. It’s also a birding paradise, with species such as Cassin’s grey flycatcher, broad-billed rollers, and the elusive black bee-eater along Lake Edward’s shores.
After a refreshing lunch at your lodge, embark on a two-hour boat cruise along the Kazinga Channel, an unforgettable highlight of any Uganda tour. Here, you will glide past schools of hippos, stealthy Nile crocodiles, and an astonishing range of water birds. Ornithologists and birding enthusiasts will revel in viewing over 550 bird species including flamingos, malachite kingfishers, yellow-billed storks, and the elusive shoebill stork.
With your camera ready, these moments form the visual treasures of your wildlife safari.

Chimpanzee Tracking in Kyambura Gorge and Transfer to Semuliki National Park
Wake up early for another highlight of your 5 Days Luxury Uganda Tour—chimpanzee tracking in Kyambura Gorge, also known as the “Valley of Apes.” This forested gorge located within Queen Elizabeth National Park provides a unique environment for observing chimpanzees in their natural habitat. As you trek through this dramatic ravine, the sights and sounds of the jungle come alive. Encounter L’Hoest monkeys, black-and-white colobus monkeys, and a chorus of birdlife, making it an enriching Uganda safari experience.
Chimpanzee tracking offers intimate insights into our closest relatives, and the joy of spotting these agile primates is unmatched. This chimpanzee trekking experience is also an ideal prelude to a gorilla trekking safari, reinforcing the possibility of combining both for a complete primate adventure in Uganda.
Following lunch, transfer to the mystical Semuliki National Park, located near the border with the Democratic Republic of Congo. This park forms part of the eastern extension of the Ituri Rainforest, home to over 400 bird species and rare primates. It’s a birder’s paradise and a lesser-known jewel in Uganda’s safari crown.

As you walk the forest trail, your guide will point out unique plant species, colorful butterflies, and primates like the red-tailed monkey and grey-cheeked mangabey.
Birdwatchers will be thrilled by the array of endemic species, including the blue-breasted kingfisher and Fraser’s ant-thrush. The walk not only immerses you in Uganda’s natural beauty but also provides cultural anecdotes from local Bamba communities who revere these springs. This is a perfect example of how Uganda safaris intertwine ecotourism, wildlife, and local culture.
In the afternoon, enjoy a tranquil boat ride on Lake Albert, where aquatic biodiversity and scenic vistas offer excellent photographic opportunities.
