Dinner and Overnight at Buhoma Homestead/Gorilla Resort/Volcanoes Camp/Buhoma Community Bandas.
Day 4: After a heavy breakfast, report to the staging area where you will be briefed by your ranger guide. Tracking the Gorillas through the thick forest is a thrilling experience. If you are lucky you can get to see the gorillas, spend 1 hour with them, and be back at the lodge in time for dinner. Remember to carry with you packed lunch, enough water as this activity is so exhausting, it’s also important to bring good hiking boots and long trousers for protection against stinging nettles.

Day 5: After breakfast, we will depart to Lake Mburo National Park. We will stop in Mbarara for lunch. Mburo harbors several species not easily observed elsewhere in Uganda. It is the only reserve in the country to support a population of Impala, the handsome antelope for which Kampala is named, and one of only three protected areas countrywide where Burchells Zebra occurs, the other two are being the far less accessible Kidepo and Pian-Upe. Other Antelope species likely to be seen by casual visitors are topi, bushbuck, common duiker, oribi, Defassa waterbuck and Bohor reedbuck, while the lake and lush fringing vegetation support healthy populations of buffalo, warthog, bush pig and hippopotamus.
Roan antelope, one common are now locally extinct, but large herds of the majestic eland still move seasonally in the park. In the late afternoon, you will go for a boat ride on Lake Mburo its self. Here you will be able to see wildlife clearly while on boat, these include, hippopotami and birds like black crake, pelicans, heron, cormorant and fish eagle but you may also see the rare shoebill stork, all of which will furnish your visits with pride.
