In the morning, travelers will head into Kibale Forest, known as the "Primate Capital of the World", for a chimpanzee tracking experience. Accompanied by an expert ranger, you'll hike through tropical rainforest and observe chimps up close in their natural habitat — watching them feed, groom, play, or swing through the trees. In the afternoon, you'll explore the Bigodi Wetland Sanctuary, a community-managed eco-tourism project rich in birdlife (like the Great Blue Turaco), monkeys, butterflies, and unique swamp vegetation. It's also a cultural window into rural Ugandan life.

This day is all about unique natural and cultural experiences. After breakfast, you'll drive to Semuliki National Park, one of Uganda’s most biologically diverse areas. You’ll visit the Sempaya Hot Springs, where water erupts from the earth at near-boiling temperatures — hot enough to cook an egg on the spot! A guided forest walk follows, where you’ll spot monkeys, tropical birds, and rare flora. You’ll also have the option to engage with the Batwa (pygmy) community, one of the oldest indigenous tribes in the region, and learn about their forest-based lifestyle.
