Lake Manyara National Park is tucked beneath the majesty of the Rift Valley wall, consisting of a thin green band of forests, flanked by the sheer 600 m high red and brown cliffs of the escarpment on one side and by the white-hot shores of ancient soda lake on the other. Acacia woodland harbors the park's acclaimed tree-climbing lions, which languidly lie among the branches in the heat of the day. Manyara safaris provide many special vantage points, including elephant, giraffe, buffalo, and wildebeest that graze in unexpected clearings or head to the waters to drink or wash, and with possible animal spotting thanks to the rivers and riverbeds. Warthogs seem to thrive here, growing noticeably fat and tusked, and are a natural playground for baboons and monkeys. That will be later in the afternoon until you will be transferred to which stands on the edge of the escarpment, overlooking the lake. Overnight: Bougainvillea Safari Lodge.

The forest covers an area of 331 km2 in the southwestern corner of the western Rift Valley. The most revered species found in Bwindi are about 350 wild Mountain Gorillas, who make up just over half of the population of these gentle apes in the world.
Birdwatching here is one of the 5 recommended sites in Uganda by ABIRD. Upon arrival at Bwindi, check into your lodge and engage in the Batwa cultural visit, optional activities that will bring you face to face with one of the tribes that were the original inhabitants of the forest.

Meal plan: Breakfast, Lunch, Dinner
Getting out of bed in the early hours of the morning for breakfast before setting out to do some good physical activity after registration at the 8:00 am UWA Uganda Wildlife Authority ranger station for the beach. After getting briefed by the rangers about the trek, it normally takes anywhere between three hours and six hours walking, so an appreciable fitness level is an asset. Wearing a good pair of hiking shoes is also essential.
The next thing will be the ranger guiding you out of the way around the very village gardens and into a more jungle-like forest. Sometimes through really thick bush, the ranger will guide you with a machete as you seek to penetrate the hordes of great bush. The mountain gorillas are under 24-hour surveillance for their own safety, so you're almost guaranteed to see them. Each gorilla family is monitored by the rangers through close radio contact.
Gorilla tourism is slowly increasing the number of gorillas, and they are still critically endangered. Because they share so much of the same genetic material with the human being, their health is compromised if there are so many human diseases by contact (for example, contaminated food). To prevent the spread of disease from humans to gorillas, you will be advised to keep a distance of 7 meters between you and the gorillas as well.
When you finally find that family of gorillas, the last command will be to drop off all your belongings to a corner; just take your camera and go in close to the gentle giants. The guides interpret the behavior of the animals and tell you what it is that you are looking at. You might catch them feeding, playing, interacting with one another, or just sleeping! You will never forget this close encounter with the gorillas. They will be really curious about seeing you! You have exactly one hour to spend with the gorillas before heading back to base. After the trek, if time allows, you will visit the Batwa. The Batwa "pygmy" tribe are the original inhabitants of the forest. Spend the night at Mahogany Springs Lodge.
