Gorillas & Big Five Safari Adventure

Begin your adventure in Uganda’s gateway city. After your international arrival, a Williamson Adventures representative will meet you and transfer you to Hotel No. 5.

Set within a peaceful suburb of Entebbe, this boutique retreat offers tranquil gardens, a swimming pool, and attentive service — the perfect introduction before heading into Uganda’s wild interior.

Fly into Bwindi Impenetrable Forest, home to nearly half of the world’s remaining mountain gorillas. Your base for the next three nights is Clouds Mountain Gorilla Lodge, perched high on a ridge with sweeping views across the forest canopy and the distant Virunga Volcanoes.

From here, set out on guided rainforest treks for a once-in-a-lifetime encounter with a gorilla family — an experience that is deeply humbling, profoundly moving, and truly unforgettable.

Continue into the Great Rift Valley, where Queen Elizabeth National Park reveals one of Uganda’s most diverse ecosystems. Your base is Kyambura Gorge Lodge, overlooking vast savannah plains, volcanic crater lakes, and the legendary “Valley of the Apes.”

From here, set out on chimpanzee trekking in Kyambura Gorge, enjoy wildlife-rich game drives, and take scenic boat safaris along the Kazinga Channel, home to hippos, elephants, and prolific birdlife.

Return to Entebbe for a restful overnight before crossing
into Kenya.

Fly into Kenya’s legendary Masai Mara, where vast, open savannahs set the stage for the drama of the Great Migration. Your base, Cottar’s 1920s Camp, blends vintage safari elegance with a deep, long-standing commitment to conservation.

During your stay, enjoy expertly guided game drives, immersive walking safaris, and meaningful Maasai cultural experiences, all offering a deeper connection to one of East Africa’s most iconic wildlife landscapes.

Conclude your journey in the renowned Lewa Wildlife Conservancy, a UNESCO World Heritage Site and globally recognised model for conservation success.

Your stay at Lewa Wilderness, one of Kenya’s oldest family-owned safari lodges, offers an authentic yet comfortable safari experience. Set against a backdrop of rolling hills and acacia-dotted plains, the lodge provides exceptional access to diverse wildlife, including black and white rhino, alongside a variety of unique safari activities such as game drives, guided walks, and conservation-focused experiences.

After a final sunrise game drive across Lewa’s wildlife-rich plains, you’ll journey onward to Nairobi to begin your return home — taking with you lasting memories of mist-covered gorilla forests, chimpanzees in deep gorges, and the enduring rhythm of the East African wilderness.
