About this tour

The 9 day honeymoon safari takes you to a luxurious riparian cottage on the banks of the thunderous Nile River in eastern Uganda for a couple of nights before whisking you off to the primate capital at the base of the mighty Rwenzoris for an exhilarating chimpanzee trekking excursion. You’ll spend two nights on the edge of the chimpanzee jungle & later connect to the impenetrable forest of Bwindi with a short domestic flight. In the extreme southwestern corner, you’ll spend 2 nights at the idyllic forest cottage with breathtaking landscape views straight out of the National Geography magazine. From there, you’ll meet the mythical silverback with his family in their natural cradle and spend unforgettable moments interacting and observing the great apes.

DAY 3: EXPLORE JINJA

Because it’s your romantic getaway, you get to choose what to do with your day on the mighty
River Nile. We have a couple of active and laid-back activities to build your romance.
One, you can take the whitewater rafting challenge in some of the most famous rapids on the
continent. Rafting will test your endurance and trust in each other in challenging situations. You will have an expert train you before the session and guide you during the activity down the Nile.
If you are not up to the rafting challenge, riding a horse into the sunrise on the shores of the
longest river should be fun. Also guided, the horse riding experience will get you in the mood for
adventure with your partner. Alternatively, if you’re an adrenaline seeker, you can get on a quad bike on the dusty country roads to stir up some things. How about bungee jumping off the edge of the Nile cliff? That should fire up some nerves.

On the tranquil side of things, you can brush off these active adventures and go for a simple drive around Jinja, a walk through the town and to the local markets or stay in your riverside cottage for private romance. The sounds and views are charming!

DAY 4: JINJA- ENTEBBE

You shouldn’t be in a hurry to leave the luxuries of Lemala, but you’ve got to watch the sunrise; the love its golden colors come with is to die for! Check out of your cottage and hit the highway to Entebbe, but we’ll stop by the ancient Mabira rainforest for a short walk. The 300 square kilometers (120 sqm) is one of Uganda’s most treasured forest reserves protecting many plant and animal species. It lies on gently undulating country, with many flat-topped hills separated by wide stream valleys and bordered by Lake Victoria on one side. You’ll spend another romantic night in Entebbe and catch an early drive to Kibale Forest in western Uganda, in the shadows of the Rwenzori Mountains.

Accommodation : Kampala Serena
Meal Plan : Full Board
Activity : Mabira Forest Walk and Ndere Cultural Night

Day 5: KAMPALA- KIBALE FOREST NATIONAL PARK

After breakfast, we’ll get you on the highway by 8:00 am, drive west to Kibale National Park via Fort Portal City, and check you into a rustic forest cottage with exceptional views. The road journey through western Uganda is exceptionally captivating for a couple watching through the large windows of a 4×4 safari truck. An endless stream of emerald green banana and tea plantations, cattle ranches, beautifully terraced garden slopes, and valleys and hills make up the visual diet on this road trip. It’s like driving through Bali, Switzerland, or Tuscany on a spring morning.

You will have a lunch stop in Fort Portal, one of Uganda’s oldest towns located on the base of the Rwenzori Mountains, with gorgeous views of the imposing snow-capped peaks. You’ll explore a bit of the town and drive a couple of miles to your forest lodge for a romantic dinner and dreamy night.

Accommodation: Kyaninga Lodge
Meal Plan: Full board
Activity: Relaxed day of travel and enjoying the lodge

Day 6: CHIMPANZEE TREKKING – KIBALE FOREST NATIONAL PARK

Be up early, have breakfast, and transfer to the briefing point to begin the chimpanzee trekking excursion. We cannot be exact about your time in the jungle, so you must take your lunch pack and a few liters of drinking water. Chimp trekking is an active experience because once you find the chimps, you may have to stay on your toes to keep up with their movements for close to an hour.

Uganda’s habituated chimps are loud, active, intimate with each other, shameless, and mindless of your presence. They’ll do things that will leave you awestruck! Most of the time, they’ll swing off tree branches, fight, fornicate, groom each other or engage in primeval social dynamics. Watching these basic great apes behave in their natural setting will surely build up tanks of appreciation for your romantic partner and the human race.You have a choice to make, though, take the one-hour trekking experience or the lengthy Chimpanzee Habituation Experience that can last for close to the entire day. Whichever you choose, very few experiences can top walking with wild chimpanzees in an African rainforest on a safari honeymoon vacation. On your morning chimp trek, it’s prevalent for other primates to cross your paths, like the rare L’Hoest’s monkey and red colobus monkey. Other primates you may encounter include the black & white colobus, red-tailed monkey, blue monkey, olive baboon, and grey-cheeked mangabey.

Accommodation: Buhoma Lodge
Meal Plan: Full Board

Day 8: ULTIMATE GORILLA TREKKING

After an early breakfast depart to the starting point for briefing about your gorilla trekking adventure, after which you will be led by experienced gorilla trackers on the slopes of the volcanoes.

You will start from the site where the gorillas were encountered the day before and from here, the gorilla tracking begins. Although the hike can be physically demanding, the anticipation of the exciting experience ahead is amazing, and the beauty of the gorilla forest and its inhabitants are fascinating. One of Africa’s major highlights is when you encounter these amazing apes. It is a humbling experience to stand just meters from man’s distant cousins as they eat rest, play and bond with their young ones. Follow the mountain gorillas as they range freely in the impenetrable forest, and discover their gorgeous natural habitual and the many species they share it with. You are allowed an hour with the gorillas before finally sloping down back to your lodge. If your trek was relatively short, you may have a guided nature walk around the lodge and the surrounding communities in the evening.
