Reisdetails van Uganda en Kenia

Reis:

Uganda en Kenia

Omschrijving:

In januari, ga ik alleen de trip Uganda en Kenia maken, naar de bergorilla's waar is al jaren naar uit kijk. eindelijk ga ik er heen. Ben erg benieuwd.
Zal veel avontuur zijn en veel te zien krijgen. Zie hier de beschrijving van de tour

Bucket List Inclusions
Lake Nakuru National Park
Queen Elizabeth National Park
The Great Rift Valley
Mountain gorilla trekking
Chimpanzee trekking

Day 1 (12-1) - Nairobi, Kenya to Lake Nakuru National Park
Combat your jet lag by arriving a day before our epic adventure, and then rise early to depart Nairobi for the 'Great Rift Valley', an enormous
cleft in the Earth's surface stretching from the Red Sea to Madagascar (but with particularly marked escarpments here in Kenya). Have your
camera at the ready - these views are something to write home about. Later, we stop at our camp near Lake Nakuru National Park, a
relatively small park (by African standards) but with an abundant of wildlife thanks to its location on the Great Rift Valley floor. This afternoon
will provide a delightful introduction to East Africa's wildlife diversity thanks to an afternoon game drive making use of local guides and
smaller safari vehicles for a more intimate experience.

Day 2 - Lake Nakuru National Park to Eldoret Park
From Nakuru we continue northwest and climb in altitude towards the town of Eldoret en route to the Ugandan frontier. Brush up on your
geology knowledge by learning about the significance of the Equator as we cross it today from the Southern Hemisphere to the Northern.
Read also: unique photo opportunities. Finally, we reach Eldoret; it's name based on the Maasai word Eldore meaning stony river, due to the
stony bed of the nearby Sosiani River. The town is the fifth largest in Kenya and is the fastest growing with a population of nearly 200,000.
Once we reach our fabulous campsite, sip on a sun downer around the warmth of an open log fire and marvel at the idyllic setting of
waterfalls, streams and wooden bridges.

Day 3 - Eldoret to Kampala, Uganda
Described by Winston Churchill as the 'Pearl of Africa', Uganda is a country with beautiful natural scenery and a rich mosaic of tribes and
cultures. Travelling through Uganda, you'll be captivated by its sheer beauty and the friendliness of the local people. Tonight we camp in the
capital, Kampala, which is an attractive hilly city bustling with roadside traders, markets and busy matatu (minibus taxi) stands.

Day 4 - Kampala to Queen Elizabeth National Park
From Kampala, we travel west towards Queen Elizabeth National Park, once more over the Equator and through fertile, green-terraced
hillsides, lush banana plantations and tangled forests. Keep your eyes peeled for the herds of Ankole cattle, with their incredible long, curved
horns, roaming the roads and paddocks. Setting up camp just a short distance from the Queen Elizabeth National Park, you'll have the
chance to kick back and unwind, take a walk in the surrounding areas and mingle with the community, local style.
Included today: -Queen Elizabeth National Park Chimpanzee trekking on either day 4 or day 5

Day 5 - Queen Elizabeth National Park
This morning we enter the Queen Elizabeth National Park and take in the magnificent views of the mountains that separate Uganda from
central Africa, as well as Lakes Edwards and George. Queen Elizabeth National park has over 500 species of bird and 100 species of
mammals, making it one of the most bio-diverse national parks in the world. Nearby, we visit the Kyambura Gorge for an exciting trek to see
the chimpanzees. On departing the National Park, we make our way to the stunning Lake Bunyonyi - the perfect place to unwind, relax and
explore (on the days that we don't trek to see the mountain gorillas, of course).

Day 6 - Queen Elizabeth National Park to Lake Bunyonyi Park
Over the next three days, you and your adventure buddies will be split into two groups. On the first day, one group will trek to witness the
amazing mountain gorillas up close, while the others have a free day of chilling out on the lake. Then the next day, the groups swap.
On the day of our trek, we gather in the early morning to meet our local guide and tracker. The area that we explore is home to the world's
remaining 700 mountain gorillas, many of which inhabit the Bwindi Impenetrable National Park (please note that occasionally we may need
to travel into neighbouring Rwanda to see the gorillas). The trek into the thick rainforest can be demanding at times, with uneven terrain and
hilly rainforest, but the privilege of spending time with a family of these gentle primates makes the effort more than well worthwhile.
Please note: Depending on the availability of the chimpanzee and gorilla permits, the tour itinerary may vary from the brochure itinerary.
From time to time, we may have to trek on different days. If at any time our gorilla trek should be in another neighbouring country, i.e
Rwanda (instead of Uganda) this may entail extra visa fees, although we shall endeavour to advise you before departure of any significant
changes to the tour itinerary. Please take the above itinerary as a guideline only.

Day 7 - Lake Bunyonyi
If you're not on today's trek, take advantage of your free time by the seven kilometer-wide lake with an abundance of boredom-killer
activities. Hire canoes and swing by some of the islands, wander the local tribes and villages, visit the local orphanage, and channel your
inner explorer with a nature walk. Alternatively, kick your feet up at camp and catch up on the diary or postcards back home.
Included today: -Gorilla trekking on either day 7 or day 8

Day 8 - Lake Bunyonyi
For those with a free day, spend your time swanning around the campsite, canoe the lake's peaceful waters or discover why the stunning
area is known as the 'place of many birds' with a spot of bird-watching. Today's on your watch, so spend it as you see fit.

Day 9 - Lake Bunyonyi to Kampala
Leaving Lake Bunyonyi, we make our way back across the Equator, through lush pasture lands and the northern reaches of Africa's largest
lake, Lake Victoria, to Kampala. A hotspot for great food and entertainment, Kampala is the perfect place for our overnight stay. Take the
night to enjoy the hospitality of the local Ugandans, before resting your head and getting in some much-needed zzz's.

Day 10 - Kampala to Jinja
After we farewell the capital, we venture a short distance to Jinja where our camp on the grassy banks of the River Nile awaits. It was in 1862
that the British explorer John Hanning Speke recognised Lake Victoria as the 'source of the Nile', settling a long running dispute about Africa's
(and the world's) longest river. From this modest monument, the Nile begins its 6,610km journey through Uganda, Sudan and eventually
Egypt to the Mediterranean Sea.

Day 11 - Jinja
Since our camp in Jinja overlooks a dramatic set of rapids (known as Bujagali Falls), it's no surprise the region is somewhat of an adrenaline
playground. Thrill seekers will revel in the chance to try optional white water rafting, but if you lack that daredevil streak, mountain biking,
quad biking and village walks are also on offer.

Day 12 - Jinja
When you've had your fill of heart-racing activities, roll up your sleeves and take the opportunity to make a difference for children at a local
school project. 'Softpower' is a locally-run volunteer programme aimed at building and improving schools in the Jinja area. Your contribution
of a few hours of painting or plastering is always most welcome (and serves as a great mood booster, too).

Day 13 - Jinja to Eldoret, Kenya
After our excitement-filled break in Jinja, we retrace our steps across the border of Kenya and on towards Eldoret, where we will set up camp
for the evening. Tonight, share a few laughs with your new travel pals and reminisce on your gorilla encounter stories around the campfire.

Day 14 (25-1) - Eldoret to Nairobi
This morning we cross the equator and make our way back to the Kenyan capital, Nairobi. Hold back the tears as you say farewell to the
week that was and share hugs with your newfound safari sidekicks. Keen for more adventures? Chat to your guide about arranging an
onwards journey.

Reisdetails van Uganda en Kenia

Reis:

Uganda en Kenia

Omschrijving:

In januari, ga ik alleen de trip Uganda en Kenia maken, naar de bergorilla's waar is al jaren naar uit kijk. eindelijk ga ik er heen. Ben erg benieuwd.
Zal veel avontuur zijn en veel te zien krijgen. Zie hier de beschrijving van de tour

Bucket List Inclusions
Lake Nakuru National Park
Queen Elizabeth National Park
The Great Rift Valley
Mountain gorilla trekking
Chimpanzee trekking

Day 1 (12-1) - Nairobi, Kenya to Lake Nakuru National Park
Combat your jet lag by arriving a day before our epic adventure, and then rise early to depart Nairobi for the 'Great Rift Valley', an enormous
cleft in the Earth's surface stretching from the Red Sea to Madagascar (but with particularly marked escarpments here in Kenya). Have your
camera at the ready - these views are something to write home about. Later, we stop at our camp near Lake Nakuru National Park, a
relatively small park (by African standards) but with an abundant of wildlife thanks to its location on the Great Rift Valley floor. This afternoon
will provide a delightful introduction to East Africa's wildlife diversity thanks to an afternoon game drive making use of local guides and
smaller safari vehicles for a more intimate experience.

Day 2 - Lake Nakuru National Park to Eldoret Park
From Nakuru we continue northwest and climb in altitude towards the town of Eldoret en route to the Ugandan frontier. Brush up on your
geology knowledge by learning about the significance of the Equator as we cross it today from the Southern Hemisphere to the Northern.
Read also: unique photo opportunities. Finally, we reach Eldoret; it's name based on the Maasai word Eldore meaning stony river, due to the
stony bed of the nearby Sosiani River. The town is the fifth largest in Kenya and is the fastest growing with a population of nearly 200,000.
Once we reach our fabulous campsite, sip on a sun downer around the warmth of an open log fire and marvel at the idyllic setting of
waterfalls, streams and wooden bridges.

Day 3 - Eldoret to Kampala, Uganda
Described by Winston Churchill as the 'Pearl of Africa', Uganda is a country with beautiful natural scenery and a rich mosaic of tribes and
cultures. Travelling through Uganda, you'll be captivated by its sheer beauty and the friendliness of the local people. Tonight we camp in the
capital, Kampala, which is an attractive hilly city bustling with roadside traders, markets and busy matatu (minibus taxi) stands.

Day 4 - Kampala to Queen Elizabeth National Park
From Kampala, we travel west towards Queen Elizabeth National Park, once more over the Equator and through fertile, green-terraced
hillsides, lush banana plantations and tangled forests. Keep your eyes peeled for the herds of Ankole cattle, with their incredible long, curved
horns, roaming the roads and paddocks. Setting up camp just a short distance from the Queen Elizabeth National Park, you'll have the
chance to kick back and unwind, take a walk in the surrounding areas and mingle with the community, local style.
Included today: -Queen Elizabeth National Park Chimpanzee trekking on either day 4 or day 5

Day 5 - Queen Elizabeth National Park
This morning we enter the Queen Elizabeth National Park and take in the magnificent views of the mountains that separate Uganda from
central Africa, as well as Lakes Edwards and George. Queen Elizabeth National park has over 500 species of bird and 100 species of
mammals, making it one of the most bio-diverse national parks in the world. Nearby, we visit the Kyambura Gorge for an exciting trek to see
the chimpanzees. On departing the National Park, we make our way to the stunning Lake Bunyonyi - the perfect place to unwind, relax and
explore (on the days that we don't trek to see the mountain gorillas, of course).

Day 6 - Queen Elizabeth National Park to Lake Bunyonyi Park
Over the next three days, you and your adventure buddies will be split into two groups. On the first day, one group will trek to witness the
amazing mountain gorillas up close, while the others have a free day of chilling out on the lake. Then the next day, the groups swap.
On the day of our trek, we gather in the early morning to meet our local guide and tracker. The area that we explore is home to the world's
remaining 700 mountain gorillas, many of which inhabit the Bwindi Impenetrable National Park (please note that occasionally we may need
to travel into neighbouring Rwanda to see the gorillas). The trek into the thick rainforest can be demanding at times, with uneven terrain and
hilly rainforest, but the privilege of spending time with a family of these gentle primates makes the effort more than well worthwhile.
Please note: Depending on the availability of the chimpanzee and gorilla permits, the tour itinerary may vary from the brochure itinerary.
From time to time, we may have to trek on different days. If at any time our gorilla trek should be in another neighbouring country, i.e
Rwanda (instead of Uganda) this may entail extra visa fees, although we shall endeavour to advise you before departure of any significant
changes to the tour itinerary. Please take the above itinerary as a guideline only.

Day 7 - Lake Bunyonyi
If you're not on today's trek, take advantage of your free time by the seven kilometer-wide lake with an abundance of boredom-killer
activities. Hire canoes and swing by some of the islands, wander the local tribes and villages, visit the local orphanage, and channel your
inner explorer with a nature walk. Alternatively, kick your feet up at camp and catch up on the diary or postcards back home.
Included today: -Gorilla trekking on either day 7 or day 8

Day 8 - Lake Bunyonyi
For those with a free day, spend your time swanning around the campsite, canoe the lake's peaceful waters or discover why the stunning
area is known as the 'place of many birds' with a spot of bird-watching. Today's on your watch, so spend it as you see fit.

Day 9 - Lake Bunyonyi to Kampala
Leaving Lake Bunyonyi, we make our way back across the Equator, through lush pasture lands and the northern reaches of Africa's largest
lake, Lake Victoria, to Kampala. A hotspot for great food and entertainment, Kampala is the perfect place for our overnight stay. Take the
night to enjoy the hospitality of the local Ugandans, before resting your head and getting in some much-needed zzz's.

Day 10 - Kampala to Jinja
After we farewell the capital, we venture a short distance to Jinja where our camp on the grassy banks of the River Nile awaits. It was in 1862
that the British explorer John Hanning Speke recognised Lake Victoria as the 'source of the Nile', settling a long running dispute about Africa's
(and the world's) longest river. From this modest monument, the Nile begins its 6,610km journey through Uganda, Sudan and eventually
Egypt to the Mediterranean Sea.

Day 11 - Jinja
Since our camp in Jinja overlooks a dramatic set of rapids (known as Bujagali Falls), it's no surprise the region is somewhat of an adrenaline
playground. Thrill seekers will revel in the chance to try optional white water rafting, but if you lack that daredevil streak, mountain biking,
quad biking and village walks are also on offer.

Day 12 - Jinja
When you've had your fill of heart-racing activities, roll up your sleeves and take the opportunity to make a difference for children at a local
school project. 'Softpower' is a locally-run volunteer programme aimed at building and improving schools in the Jinja area. Your contribution
of a few hours of painting or plastering is always most welcome (and serves as a great mood booster, too).

Day 13 - Jinja to Eldoret, Kenya
After our excitement-filled break in Jinja, we retrace our steps across the border of Kenya and on towards Eldoret, where we will set up camp
for the evening. Tonight, share a few laughs with your new travel pals and reminisce on your gorilla encounter stories around the campfire.

Day 14 (25-1) - Eldoret to Nairobi
This morning we cross the equator and make our way back to the Kenyan capital, Nairobi. Hold back the tears as you say farewell to the
week that was and share hugs with your newfound safari sidekicks. Keen for more adventures? Chat to your guide about arranging an
onwards journey.

Reisdetails van Uganda en Kenia

Reis:

Uganda en Kenia

Omschrijving:

In januari, ga ik alleen de trip Uganda en Kenia maken, naar de bergorilla's waar is al jaren naar uit kijk. eindelijk ga ik er heen. Ben erg benieuwd.
Zal veel avontuur zijn en veel te zien krijgen. Zie hier de beschrijving van de tour

Bucket List Inclusions
Lake Nakuru National Park
Queen Elizabeth National Park
The Great Rift Valley
Mountain gorilla trekking
Chimpanzee trekking

Day 1 (12-1) - Nairobi, Kenya to Lake Nakuru National Park
Combat your jet lag by arriving a day before our epic adventure, and then rise early to depart Nairobi for the 'Great Rift Valley', an enormous
cleft in the Earth's surface stretching from the Red Sea to Madagascar (but with particularly marked escarpments here in Kenya). Have your
camera at the ready - these views are something to write home about. Later, we stop at our camp near Lake Nakuru National Park, a
relatively small park (by African standards) but with an abundant of wildlife thanks to its location on the Great Rift Valley floor. This afternoon
will provide a delightful introduction to East Africa's wildlife diversity thanks to an afternoon game drive making use of local guides and
smaller safari vehicles for a more intimate experience.

Day 2 - Lake Nakuru National Park to Eldoret Park
From Nakuru we continue northwest and climb in altitude towards the town of Eldoret en route to the Ugandan frontier. Brush up on your
geology knowledge by learning about the significance of the Equator as we cross it today from the Southern Hemisphere to the Northern.
Read also: unique photo opportunities. Finally, we reach Eldoret; it's name based on the Maasai word Eldore meaning stony river, due to the
stony bed of the nearby Sosiani River. The town is the fifth largest in Kenya and is the fastest growing with a population of nearly 200,000.
Once we reach our fabulous campsite, sip on a sun downer around the warmth of an open log fire and marvel at the idyllic setting of
waterfalls, streams and wooden bridges.

Day 3 - Eldoret to Kampala, Uganda
Described by Winston Churchill as the 'Pearl of Africa', Uganda is a country with beautiful natural scenery and a rich mosaic of tribes and
cultures. Travelling through Uganda, you'll be captivated by its sheer beauty and the friendliness of the local people. Tonight we camp in the
capital, Kampala, which is an attractive hilly city bustling with roadside traders, markets and busy matatu (minibus taxi) stands.

Day 4 - Kampala to Queen Elizabeth National Park
From Kampala, we travel west towards Queen Elizabeth National Park, once more over the Equator and through fertile, green-terraced
hillsides, lush banana plantations and tangled forests. Keep your eyes peeled for the herds of Ankole cattle, with their incredible long, curved
horns, roaming the roads and paddocks. Setting up camp just a short distance from the Queen Elizabeth National Park, you'll have the
chance to kick back and unwind, take a walk in the surrounding areas and mingle with the community, local style.
Included today: -Queen Elizabeth National Park Chimpanzee trekking on either day 4 or day 5

Day 5 - Queen Elizabeth National Park
This morning we enter the Queen Elizabeth National Park and take in the magnificent views of the mountains that separate Uganda from
central Africa, as well as Lakes Edwards and George. Queen Elizabeth National park has over 500 species of bird and 100 species of
mammals, making it one of the most bio-diverse national parks in the world. Nearby, we visit the Kyambura Gorge for an exciting trek to see
the chimpanzees. On departing the National Park, we make our way to the stunning Lake Bunyonyi - the perfect place to unwind, relax and
explore (on the days that we don't trek to see the mountain gorillas, of course).

Day 6 - Queen Elizabeth National Park to Lake Bunyonyi Park
Over the next three days, you and your adventure buddies will be split into two groups. On the first day, one group will trek to witness the
amazing mountain gorillas up close, while the others have a free day of chilling out on the lake. Then the next day, the groups swap.
On the day of our trek, we gather in the early morning to meet our local guide and tracker. The area that we explore is home to the world's
remaining 700 mountain gorillas, many of which inhabit the Bwindi Impenetrable National Park (please note that occasionally we may need
to travel into neighbouring Rwanda to see the gorillas). The trek into the thick rainforest can be demanding at times, with uneven terrain and
hilly rainforest, but the privilege of spending time with a family of these gentle primates makes the effort more than well worthwhile.
Please note: Depending on the availability of the chimpanzee and gorilla permits, the tour itinerary may vary from the brochure itinerary.
From time to time, we may have to trek on different days. If at any time our gorilla trek should be in another neighbouring country, i.e
Rwanda (instead of Uganda) this may entail extra visa fees, although we shall endeavour to advise you before departure of any significant
changes to the tour itinerary. Please take the above itinerary as a guideline only.

Day 7 - Lake Bunyonyi
If you're not on today's trek, take advantage of your free time by the seven kilometer-wide lake with an abundance of boredom-killer
activities. Hire canoes and swing by some of the islands, wander the local tribes and villages, visit the local orphanage, and channel your
inner explorer with a nature walk. Alternatively, kick your feet up at camp and catch up on the diary or postcards back home.
Included today: -Gorilla trekking on either day 7 or day 8

Day 8 - Lake Bunyonyi
For those with a free day, spend your time swanning around the campsite, canoe the lake's peaceful waters or discover why the stunning
area is known as the 'place of many birds' with a spot of bird-watching. Today's on your watch, so spend it as you see fit.

Day 9 - Lake Bunyonyi to Kampala
Leaving Lake Bunyonyi, we make our way back across the Equator, through lush pasture lands and the northern reaches of Africa's largest
lake, Lake Victoria, to Kampala. A hotspot for great food and entertainment, Kampala is the perfect place for our overnight stay. Take the
night to enjoy the hospitality of the local Ugandans, before resting your head and getting in some much-needed zzz's.

Day 10 - Kampala to Jinja
After we farewell the capital, we venture a short distance to Jinja where our camp on the grassy banks of the River Nile awaits. It was in 1862
that the British explorer John Hanning Speke recognised Lake Victoria as the 'source of the Nile', settling a long running dispute about Africa's
(and the world's) longest river. From this modest monument, the Nile begins its 6,610km journey through Uganda, Sudan and eventually
Egypt to the Mediterranean Sea.

Day 11 - Jinja
Since our camp in Jinja overlooks a dramatic set of rapids (known as Bujagali Falls), it's no surprise the region is somewhat of an adrenaline
playground. Thrill seekers will revel in the chance to try optional white water rafting, but if you lack that daredevil streak, mountain biking,
quad biking and village walks are also on offer.

Day 12 - Jinja
When you've had your fill of heart-racing activities, roll up your sleeves and take the opportunity to make a difference for children at a local
school project. 'Softpower' is a locally-run volunteer programme aimed at building and improving schools in the Jinja area. Your contribution
of a few hours of painting or plastering is always most welcome (and serves as a great mood booster, too).

Day 13 - Jinja to Eldoret, Kenya
After our excitement-filled break in Jinja, we retrace our steps across the border of Kenya and on towards Eldoret, where we will set up camp
for the evening. Tonight, share a few laughs with your new travel pals and reminisce on your gorilla encounter stories around the campfire.

Day 14 (25-1) - Eldoret to Nairobi
This morning we cross the equator and make our way back to the Kenyan capital, Nairobi. Hold back the tears as you say farewell to the
week that was and share hugs with your newfound safari sidekicks. Keen for more adventures? Chat to your guide about arranging an
onwards journey.

chance to kick back and unwind, take a walk in the surrounding areas and mingle with the community, local style.
Included today: -Queen Elizabeth National Park Chimpanzee trekking on either day 4 or day 5

Day 5 - Queen Elizabeth National Park
This morning we enter the Queen Elizabeth National Park and take in the magnificent views of the mountains that separate Uganda from
central Africa, as well as Lakes Edwards and George. Queen Elizabeth National park has over 500 species of bird and 100 species of
mammals, making it one of the most bio-diverse national parks in the world. Nearby, we visit the Kyambura Gorge for an exciting trek to see
the chimpanzees. On departing the National Park, we make our way to the stunning Lake Bunyonyi - the perfect place to unwind, relax and
explore (on the days that we don't trek to see the mountain gorillas, of course).

Day 6 - Queen Elizabeth National Park to Lake Bunyonyi Park
Over the next three days, you and your adventure buddies will be split into two groups. On the first day, one group will trek to witness the
amazing mountain gorillas up close, while the others have a free day of chilling out on the lake. Then the next day, the groups swap.
On the day of our trek, we gather in the early morning to meet our local guide and tracker. The area that we explore is home to the world's
remaining 700 mountain gorillas, many of which inhabit the Bwindi Impenetrable National Park (please note that occasionally we may need
to travel into neighbouring Rwanda to see the gorillas). The trek into the thick rainforest can be demanding at times, with uneven terrain and
hilly rainforest, but the privilege of spending time with a family of these gentle primates makes the effort more than well worthwhile.
Please note: Depending on the availability of the chimpanzee and gorilla permits, the tour itinerary may vary from the brochure itinerary.
From time to time, we may have to trek on different days. If at any time our gorilla trek should be in another neighbouring country, i.e
Rwanda (instead of Uganda) this may entail extra visa fees, although we shall endeavour to advise you before departure of any significant
changes to the tour itinerary. Please take the above itinerary as a guideline only.

Day 7 - Lake Bunyonyi
If you're not on today's trek, take advantage of your free time by the seven kilometer-wide lake with an abundance of boredom-killer
activities. Hire canoes and swing by some of the islands, wander the local tribes and villages, visit the local orphanage, and channel your
inner explorer with a nature walk. Alternatively, kick your feet up at camp and catch up on the diary or postcards back home.
Included today: -Gorilla trekking on either day 7 or day 8

Day 8 - Lake Bunyonyi
For those with a free day, spend your time swanning around the campsite, canoe the lake's peaceful waters or discover why the stunning
area is known as the 'place of many birds' with a spot of bird-watching. Today's on your watch, so spend it as you see fit.

Day 9 - Lake Bunyonyi to Kampala
Leaving Lake Bunyonyi, we make our way back across the Equator, through lush pasture lands and the northern reaches of Africa's largest
lake, Lake Victoria, to Kampala. A hotspot for great food and entertainment, Kampala is the perfect place for our overnight stay. Take the
night to enjoy the hospitality of the local Ugandans, before resting your head and getting in some much-needed zzz's.

Day 10 - Kampala to Jinja
After we farewell the capital, we venture a short distance to Jinja where our camp on the grassy banks of the River Nile awaits. It was in 1862
that the British explorer John Hanning Speke recognised Lake Victoria as the 'source of the Nile', settling a long running dispute about Africa's
(and the world's) longest river. From this modest monument, the Nile begins its 6,610km journey through Uganda, Sudan and eventually
Egypt to the Mediterranean Sea.

Day 11 - Jinja
Since our camp in Jinja overlooks a dramatic set of rapids (known as Bujagali Falls), it's no surprise the region is somewhat of an adrenaline
playground. Thrill seekers will revel in the chance to try optional white water rafting, but if you lack that daredevil streak, mountain biking,
quad biking and village walks are also on offer.

Day 12 - Jinja
When you've had your fill of heart-racing activities, roll up your sleeves and take the opportunity to make a difference for children at a local
school project. 'Softpower' is a locally-run volunteer programme aimed at building and improving schools in the Jinja area. Your contribution
of a few hours of painting or plastering is always most welcome (and serves as a great mood booster, too).

Day 13 - Jinja to Eldoret, Kenya
After our excitement-filled break in Jinja, we retrace our steps across the border of Kenya and on towards Eldoret, where we will set up camp
for the evening. Tonight, share a few laughs with your new travel pals and reminisce on your gorilla encounter stories around the campfire.

Day 14 (25-1) - Eldoret to Nairobi
This morning we cross the equator and make our way back to the Kenyan capital, Nairobi. Hold back the tears as you say farewell to the
week that was and share hugs with your newfound safari sidekicks. Keen for more adventures? Chat to your guide about arranging an
onwards journey.

Reisdetails van Uganda en Kenia

Reis:

Uganda en Kenia

Omschrijving:

In januari, ga ik alleen de trip Uganda en Kenia maken, naar de bergorilla's waar is al jaren naar uit kijk. eindelijk ga ik er heen. Ben erg benieuwd.
Zal veel avontuur zijn en veel te zien krijgen. Zie hier de beschrijving van de tour

Bucket List Inclusions
Lake Nakuru National Park
Queen Elizabeth National Park
The Great Rift Valley
Mountain gorilla trekking
Chimpanzee trekking

Day 1 (12-1) - Nairobi, Kenya to Lake Nakuru National Park
Combat your jet lag by arriving a day before our epic adventure, and then rise early to depart Nairobi for the 'Great Rift Valley', an enormous
cleft in the Earth's surface stretching from the Red Sea to Madagascar (but with particularly marked escarpments here in Kenya). Have your
camera at the ready - these views are something to write home about. Later, we stop at our camp near Lake Nakuru National Park, a
relatively small park (by African standards) but with an abundant of wildlife thanks to its location on the Great Rift Valley floor. This afternoon
will provide a delightful introduction to East Africa's wildlife diversity thanks to an afternoon game drive making use of local guides and
smaller safari vehicles for a more intimate experience.

Day 2 - Lake Nakuru National Park to Eldoret Park
From Nakuru we continue northwest and climb in altitude towards the town of Eldoret en route to the Ugandan frontier. Brush up on your
geology knowledge by learning about the significance of the Equator as we cross it today from the Southern Hemisphere to the Northern.
Read also: unique photo opportunities. Finally, we reach Eldoret; it's name based on the Maasai word Eldore meaning stony river, due to the
stony bed of the nearby Sosiani River. The town is the fifth largest in Kenya and is the fastest growing with a population of nearly 200,000.
Once we reach our fabulous campsite, sip on a sun downer around the warmth of an open log fire and marvel at the idyllic setting of
waterfalls, streams and wooden bridges.

Day 3 - Eldoret to Kampala, Uganda
Described by Winston Churchill as the 'Pearl of Africa', Uganda is a country with beautiful natural scenery and a rich mosaic of tribes and
cultures. Travelling through Uganda, you'll be captivated by its sheer beauty and the friendliness of the local people. Tonight we camp in the
capital, Kampala, which is an attractive hilly city bustling with roadside traders, markets and busy matatu (minibus taxi) stands.

Day 4 - Kampala to Queen Elizabeth National Park
From Kampala, we travel west towards Queen Elizabeth National Park, once more over the Equator and through fertile, green-terraced
hillsides, lush banana plantations and tangled forests. Keep your eyes peeled for the herds of Ankole cattle, with their incredible long, curved
horns, roaming the roads and paddocks. Setting up camp just a short distance from the Queen Elizabeth National Park, you'll have the
chance to kick back and unwind, take a walk in the surrounding areas and mingle with the community, local style.
Included today: -Queen Elizabeth National Park Chimpanzee trekking on either day 4 or day 5

Uganda en Kenia [description] => In januari, ga ik alleen de trip Uganda en Kenia maken, naar de bergorilla's waar is al jaren naar uit kijk. eindelijk ga ik er heen. Ben erg benieuwd. Zal veel avontuur zijn en veel te zien krijgen. Zie hier de beschrijving van de tour Bucket List Inclusions Lake Nakuru National Park Queen Elizabeth National Park The Great Rift Valley Mountain gorilla trekking Chimpanzee trekking Day 1 (12-1) - Nairobi, Kenya to Lake Nakuru National Park Combat your jet lag by arriving a day before our epic adventure, and then rise early to depart Nairobi for the 'Great Rift Valley', an enormous cleft in the Earth's surface stretching from the Red Sea to Madagascar (but with particularly marked escarpments here in Kenya). Have your camera at the ready - these views are something to write home about. Later, we stop at our camp near Lake Nakuru National Park, a relatively small park (by African standards) but with an abundant of wildlife thanks to its location on the Great Rift Valley floor. This afternoon will provide a delightful introduction to East Africa's wildlife diversity thanks to an afternoon game drive making use of local guides and smaller safari vehicles for a more intimate experience. Day 2 - Lake Nakuru National Park to Eldoret Park From Nakuru we continue northwest and climb in altitude towards the town of Eldoret en route to the Ugandan frontier. Brush up on your geology knowledge by learning about the significance of the Equator as we cross it today from the Southern Hemisphere to the Northern. Read also: unique photo opportunities. Finally, we reach Eldoret; it's name based on the Maasai word Eldore meaning stony river, due to the stony bed of the nearby Sosiani River. The town is the fifth largest in Kenya and is the fastest growing with a population of nearly 200,000. Once we reach our fabulous campsite, sip on a sun downer around the warmth of an open log fire and marvel at the idyllic setting of waterfalls, streams and wooden bridges. Day 3 - Eldoret to Kampala, Uganda Described by Winston Churchill as the 'Pearl of Africa', Uganda is a country with beautiful natural scenery and a rich mosaic of tribes and cultures. Travelling through Uganda, you'll be captivated by its sheer beauty and the friendliness of the local people. Tonight we camp in the capital, Kampala, which is an attractive hilly city bustling with roadside traders, markets and busy matatu (minibus taxi) stands. Day 4 - Kampala to Queen Elizabeth National Park From Kampala, we travel west towards Queen Elizabeth National Park, once more over the Equator and through fertile, green-terraced hillsides, lush banana plantations and tangled forests. Keep your eyes peeled for the herds of Ankole cattle, with their incredible long, curved horns, roaming the roads and paddocks. Setting up camp just a short distance from the Queen Elizabeth National Park, you'll have the chance to kick back and unwind, take a walk in the surrounding areas and mingle with the community, local style. Included today: -Queen Elizabeth National Park Chimpanzee trekking on either day 4 or day 5 Day 5 - Queen Elizabeth National Park This morning we enter the Queen Elizabeth National Park and take in the magnificent views of the mountains that separate Uganda from central Africa, as well as Lakes Edwards and George. Queen Elizabeth National park has over 500 species of bird and 100 species of mammals, making it one of the most bio-diverse national parks in the world. Nearby, we visit the Kyambura Gorge for an exciting trek to see the chimpanzees. On departing the National Park, we make our way to the stunning Lake Bunyonyi - the perfect place to unwind, relax and explore (on the days that we don't trek to see the mountain gorillas, of course). Day 6 - Queen Elizabeth National Park to Lake Bunyonyi Park Over the next three days, you and your adventure buddies will be split into two groups. On the first day, one group will trek to witness the amazing mountain gorillas up close, while the others have a free day of chilling out on the lake. Then the next day, the groups swap. On the day of our trek, we gather in the early morning to meet our local guide and tracker. The area that we explore is home to the world's remaining 700 mountain gorillas, many of which inhabit the Bwindi Impenetrable National Park (please note that occasionally we may need to travel into neighbouring Rwanda to see the gorillas). The trek into the thick rainforest can be demanding at times, with uneven terrain and hilly rainforest, but the privilege of spending time with a family of these gentle primates makes the effort more than well worthwhile. Please note: Depending on the availability of the chimpanzee and gorilla permits, the tour itinerary may vary from the brochure itinerary. From time to time, we may have to trek on different days. If at any time our gorilla trek should be in another neighbouring country, i.e Rwanda (instead of Uganda) this may entail extra visa fees, although we shall endeavour to advise you before departure of any significant changes to the tour itinerary. Please take the above itinerary as a guideline only. Day 7 - Lake Bunyonyi If you're not on today's trek, take advantage of your free time by the seven kilometer-wide lake with an abundance of boredom-killer activities. Hire canoes and swing by some of the islands, wander the local tribes and villages, visit the local orphanage, and channel your inner explorer with a nature walk. Alternatively, kick your feet up at camp and catch up on the diary or postcards back home. Included today: -Gorilla trekking on either day 7 or day 8 Day 8 - Lake Bunyonyi For those with a free day, spend your time swanning around the campsite, canoe the lake's peaceful waters or discover why the stunning area is known as the 'place of many birds' with a spot of bird-watching. Today's on your watch, so spend it as you see fit. Day 9 - Lake Bunyonyi to Kampala Leaving Lake Bunyonyi, we make our way back across the Equator, through lush pasture lands and the northern reaches of Africa's largest lake, Lake Victoria, to Kampala. A hotspot for great food and entertainment, Kampala is the perfect place for our overnight stay. Take the night to enjoy the hospitality of the local Ugandans, before resting your head and getting in some much-needed zzz's. Day 10 - Kampala to Jinja After we farewell the capital, we venture a short distance to Jinja where our camp on the grassy banks of the River Nile awaits. It was in 1862 that the British explorer John Hanning Speke recognised Lake Victoria as the 'source of the Nile', settling a long running dispute about Africa's (and the world's) longest river. From this modest monument, the Nile begins its 6,610km journey through Uganda, Sudan and eventually Egypt to the Mediterranean Sea. Day 11 - Jinja Since our camp in Jinja overlooks a dramatic set of rapids (known as Bujagali Falls), it's no surprise the region is somewhat of an adrenaline playground. Thrill seekers will revel in the chance to try optional white water rafting, but if you lack that daredevil streak, mountain biking, quad biking and village walks are also on offer. Day 12 - Jinja When you've had your fill of heart-racing activities, roll up your sleeves and take the opportunity to make a difference for children at a local school project. 'Softpower' is a locally-run volunteer programme aimed at building and improving schools in the Jinja area. Your contribution of a few hours of painting or plastering is always most welcome (and serves as a great mood booster, too). Day 13 - Jinja to Eldoret, Kenya After our excitement-filled break in Jinja, we retrace our steps across the border of Kenya and on towards Eldoret, where we will set up camp for the evening. Tonight, share a few laughs with your new travel pals and reminisce on your gorilla encounter stories around the campfire.

    Blijf op de hoogte en volg Monique

    Uganda en Kenia

    In januari, ga ik alleen de trip Uganda en Kenia maken, naar de bergorilla's waar is al jaren naar uit kijk. eindelijk ga ik er heen. Ben erg benieuwd.
    Zal veel avontuur zijn en veel te zien krijgen. Zie hier de beschrijving van de tour

    Bucket List Inclusions
    Lake Nakuru National Park
    Queen Elizabeth National Park
    The Great Rift Valley
    Mountain gorilla trekking
    Chimpanzee trekking

    Day 1 (12-1) - Nairobi, Kenya to Lake Nakuru National Park
    Combat your jet lag by arriving a day before our epic adventure, and then rise early to depart Nairobi for the 'Great Rift Valley', an enormous
    cleft in the Earth's surface stretching from the Red Sea to Madagascar (but with particularly marked escarpments here in Kenya). Have your
    camera at the ready - these views are something to write home about. Later, we stop at our camp near Lake Nakuru National Park, a
    relatively small park (by African standards) but with an abundant of wildlife thanks to its location on the Great Rift Valley floor. This afternoon
    will provide a delightful introduction to East Africa's wildlife diversity thanks to an afternoon game drive making use of local guides and
    smaller safari vehicles for a more intimate experience.

    Day 2 - Lake Nakuru National Park to Eldoret Park
    From Nakuru we continue northwest and climb in altitude towards the town of Eldoret en route to the Ugandan frontier. Brush up on your
    geology knowledge by learning about the significance of the Equator as we cross it today from the Southern Hemisphere to the Northern.
    Read also: unique photo opportunities. Finally, we reach Eldoret; it's name based on the Maasai word Eldore meaning stony river, due to the
    stony bed of the nearby Sosiani River. The town is the fifth largest in Kenya and is the fastest growing with a population of nearly 200,000.
    Once we reach our fabulous campsite, sip on a sun downer around the warmth of an open log fire and marvel at the idyllic setting of
    waterfalls, streams and wooden bridges.

    Day 3 - Eldoret to Kampala, Uganda
    Described by Winston Churchill as the 'Pearl of Africa', Uganda is a country with beautiful natural scenery and a rich mosaic of tribes and
    cultures. Travelling through Uganda, you'll be captivated by its sheer beauty and the friendliness of the local people. Tonight we camp in the
    capital, Kampala, which is an attractive hilly city bustling with roadside traders, markets and busy matatu (minibus taxi) stands.

    Day 4 - Kampala to Queen Elizabeth National Park
    From Kampala, we travel west towards Queen Elizabeth National Park, once more over the Equator and through fertile, green-terraced
    hillsides, lush banana plantations and tangled forests. Keep your eyes peeled for the herds of Ankole cattle, with their incredible long, curved
    horns, roaming the roads and paddocks. Setting up camp just a short distance from the Queen Elizabeth National Park, you'll have the
    chance to kick back and unwind, take a walk in the surrounding areas and mingle with the community, local style.
    Included today: -Queen Elizabeth National Park Chimpanzee trekking on either day 4 or day 5

    Day 5 - Queen Elizabeth National Park
    This morning we enter the Queen Elizabeth National Park and take in the magnificent views of the mountains that separate Uganda from
    central Africa, as well as Lakes Edwards and George. Queen Elizabeth National park has over 500 species of bird and 100 species of
    mammals, making it one of the most bio-diverse national parks in the world. Nearby, we visit the Kyambura Gorge for an exciting trek to see
    the chimpanzees. On departing the National Park, we make our way to the stunning Lake Bunyonyi - the perfect place to unwind, relax and
    explore (on the days that we don't trek to see the mountain gorillas, of course).

    Day 6 - Queen Elizabeth National Park to Lake Bunyonyi Park
    Over the next three days, you and your adventure buddies will be split into two groups. On the first day, one group will trek to witness the
    amazing mountain gorillas up close, while the others have a free day of chilling out on the lake. Then the next day, the groups swap.
    On the day of our trek, we gather in the early morning to meet our local guide and tracker. The area that we explore is home to the world's
    remaining 700 mountain gorillas, many of which inhabit the Bwindi Impenetrable National Park (please note that occasionally we may need
    to travel into neighbouring Rwanda to see the gorillas). The trek into the thick rainforest can be demanding at times, with uneven terrain and
    hilly rainforest, but the privilege of spending time with a family of these gentle primates makes the effort more than well worthwhile.
    Please note: Depending on the availability of the chimpanzee and gorilla permits, the tour itinerary may vary from the brochure itinerary.
    From time to time, we may have to trek on different days. If at any time our gorilla trek should be in another neighbouring country, i.e
    Rwanda (instead of Uganda) this may entail extra visa fees, although we shall endeavour to advise you before departure of any significant
    changes to the tour itinerary. Please take the above itinerary as a guideline only.

    Day 7 - Lake Bunyonyi
    If you're not on today's trek, take advantage of your free time by the seven kilometer-wide lake with an abundance of boredom-killer
    activities. Hire canoes and swing by some of the islands, wander the local tribes and villages, visit the local orphanage, and channel your
    inner explorer with a nature walk. Alternatively, kick your feet up at camp and catch up on the diary or postcards back home.
    Included today: -Gorilla trekking on either day 7 or day 8

    Day 8 - Lake Bunyonyi
    For those with a free day, spend your time swanning around the campsite, canoe the lake's peaceful waters or discover why the stunning
    area is known as the 'place of many birds' with a spot of bird-watching. Today's on your watch, so spend it as you see fit.

    Day 9 - Lake Bunyonyi to Kampala
    Leaving Lake Bunyonyi, we make our way back across the Equator, through lush pasture lands and the northern reaches of Africa's largest
    lake, Lake Victoria, to Kampala. A hotspot for great food and entertainment, Kampala is the perfect place for our overnight stay. Take the
    night to enjoy the hospitality of the local Ugandans, before resting your head and getting in some much-needed zzz's.

    Day 10 - Kampala to Jinja
    After we farewell the capital, we venture a short distance to Jinja where our camp on the grassy banks of the River Nile awaits. It was in 1862
    that the British explorer John Hanning Speke recognised Lake Victoria as the 'source of the Nile', settling a long running dispute about Africa's
    (and the world's) longest river. From this modest monument, the Nile begins its 6,610km journey through Uganda, Sudan and eventually
    Egypt to the Mediterranean Sea.

    Day 11 - Jinja
    Since our camp in Jinja overlooks a dramatic set of rapids (known as Bujagali Falls), it's no surprise the region is somewhat of an adrenaline
    playground. Thrill seekers will revel in the chance to try optional white water rafting, but if you lack that daredevil streak, mountain biking,
    quad biking and village walks are also on offer.

    Day 12 - Jinja
    When you've had your fill of heart-racing activities, roll up your sleeves and take the opportunity to make a difference for children at a local
    school project. 'Softpower' is a locally-run volunteer programme aimed at building and improving schools in the Jinja area. Your contribution
    of a few hours of painting or plastering is always most welcome (and serves as a great mood booster, too).

    Day 13 - Jinja to Eldoret, Kenya
    After our excitement-filled break in Jinja, we retrace our steps across the border of Kenya and on towards Eldoret, where we will set up camp
    for the evening. Tonight, share a few laughs with your new travel pals and reminisce on your gorilla encounter stories around the campfire.

    Day 14 (25-1) - Eldoret to Nairobi
    This morning we cross the equator and make our way back to the Kenyan capital, Nairobi. Hold back the tears as you say farewell to the
    week that was and share hugs with your newfound safari sidekicks. Keen for more adventures? Chat to your guide about arranging an
    onwards journey.
