The accommodation on this trip has been chosen to maximise your animal-watching opportunities and minimise travel time. Listed below are the properties we usually use. Entebbe: 2 Friends Beach Hotel, Papyrus Guest House or Boma Hotel (night 1) Our first night is spent at one of three hotels: 2 Friends Beach Hotel, Papyrus Guest House or Boma Hotel (above), depending on availability. All are within a 15 to 25-minute drive from the airport. The start hotel for your trip will be sent to you as part of our Final Joining Instructions or if you require them earlier please contact our office or your travel agent. Near Kibale Forest National Park: Turaco Treetops (nights 2-3) Within 12 acres (5ha) of rainforest bordering Kibale Forest National Park, this three-star hotel is the ideal base to explore the park and trek with chimpanzees. The lodge is powered by solar power, ensuring it operates in harmony with the surroundings. The hotel has a spacious pool, lounge and restaurant plus comfortable rooms with balconies. Near Queen Elizabeth National Park: Simba Safari Camp (nights 4-5) This two-star camp is on the edge of Queen Elizabeth National Park. The location is outstanding and there is a small pool that provides a perfect spot to chill in the afternoon heat. The rooms are simple but clean with private bathrooms and the hotel is renowned for having friendly staff. Buhoma: Haven Lodge Buhoma (nights 6-8) This community-owned lodge is perfectly located close to the meeting point for the gorilla treks. There are amazing rainforest views from the terraces, and the comfortable rooms are made with local materials to blend into the surroundings. Near Lake Mburo National Park: Rwakobo Rock (nights 9-10) This three-star lodge is just 0.6mi (1km) from the gate of Lake Mburo National Park and each cottage is set apart to offer privacy and uninterrupted views of the park. There is a water hole beneath the dining areas so you can watch the wildlife come to drink while you enjoy dinner.

All breakfasts, 10 lunches and nine dinners included. The service can be either ร la carte or buffet, depending on the lodge. For early game drives, and to maximise the time spent in the parks, a packed breakfast or lunch may be provided in some instances.

It is possible to cater for vegetarians or those with special requirements; however, please make sure you advise your sales representative at time of booking.
