Uganda is well known for its wonderful tourist attractions. These ecotours allow you a chance to enjoy these sites. Some five parks, in the Western section of the country, are selected for a comprehensive exploration.

Kibale Forest has the highest number of primates in Africa - thirteen species in all, including red, black and white colobus, blue monkeys, baboons and a large number of chimpanzees. A forest walk and Habituation Experience provides a high possibility of seeing and hearing the vast number of chimps and other primates playing and jumping around through the forest. With over 300 bird species recorded in the forest, Kibale boasts of many rewarding experiences not thought of in some other forests of the world. An excursion to Bigodi and Magombe wetlands gives the opportunity of seeing the unusual birds, chimps, baboons, monkeys and other primates which live around the swamp.

See abundant game in Queen Elizabeth park including buffalo, tree-climbing lion, leopard, warthog and the ever present hippo. Birds are everywhere – on the kazinga water channel, in Kyambura and Maramagambo forests, on game tracks! The beautiful steeply forested Kyambura Gorge is home not only to chimpanzees but also the red-tailed monkey, black and white colobus and many bird species.

All about Gorillas

Gorillas are the largest of the great apes and share 97% of their biology with human beings. A gorilla’s DNA is 97% - 98% identical to that of humans, so it is not surprising that their name actually derives from the Greek word ‘Gorillai’ which literally means a ‘tribe of hairy women’. In fact the Gorilla is the next closest living relative to humans after the two chimpanzee species.

Gorillas are almost entirely herbivorous. They eat berries, roots, shoots, fruit, leaves, bark, bamboo and wild celery, and occasionally ants. An adult male can consume up to 30 kilos of food each day. As well as having fingerprints, gorillas also have unique 'noseprints'.
The Mountain Gorilla (Gorilla beringei beringei) is recognized as a sub-species of the Eastern Gorilla. Longer and darker hair distinguishes the mountain gorilla from other gorilla species; these physical characteristics enable it to live at high altitudes were other gorilla species would be immobilised by the cool temperatures.

Uganda Gorillas

Gorilla tracking is a very captivating activity; it involves walking in the wilderness in search of these great apes. Mountain gorillas are extremely social, and live in relatively steady, unified groups of about 12 animals, consisting of one or more dominant silverback males, some younger blackback males and females and their infants. Mountain gorillas held together by long-term bonds between adult males and females. Relationships among females are relatively weak. These groups are non-territorial; the silverback generally defends his group rather than his territory. In the Virunga Mountain Gorillas, the average length of tenure for a dominant silverback is 4.7 years. Come share Gorilla moments With Eco-Royal Voyages Travel Services

Day 10
At around 08:30 we leave Arusha town and drive for two hours to Lake Manyara National Park.
During our full day game drive lunch will be taken en route. We will aim to find some of the tree climbing lions that are unique to the lakeside as well as enjoying the abundant wildlife that flourishes from the underground waterways that originate a short distance uphill in the Ngorongoro Highlands.
In the late afternoon we'll drive out of the park for dinner and overnight at Lake Manyara Hotel.
Day 11
After breakfast and collecting our packed lunches we will drive to the shores of Lake Eyasi where you will be introduced to the extraordinary people who belong to an indigenous tribe known as the 'Hadzabe'.
The wa'Hadzabe are one of the last remaining hunter-gatherer tribes in East Africa and live fascinating and impressive lives in the bush, not requiring any huts or physical infrastructure, living a subsistence lifestyle that relies on their skills in hunting and foraging.
Our Hadzabe friends will be very pleased to teach you to shoot their traditional weapons which they make from materials which occur naturally in their immediate environment.
In the evening you will share dinner with the tribesmen and as the day draws to a close will have the rare privilege of sharing in their threatened social world, while they sing traditional songs and perform tribal dances around an bonfire.
The evening is a magical one and full of atmosphere. Tonight you will stay in tents in order to be close to the bushmen for a very early rise tomorrow morning.
Day 12
We will be woken early in the morning to go hunting with the bushmen. This is no mere performance. The bushmen rely on these techniques to survive and you'll need to be very attentive and at times quiet while they demonstrate their use of locally made poisons in incapacitating the poor creatures that keep our friends alive.
At around 09:30 after the hunt we'll return to our camping site to take breakfast. From here we'll proceed with lunch boxes to Lake Eyasi where we aim to see the unrivalled spectacle of countless colourful flamingo on the lake's shores.
In the afternoon we'll transfer to the Ngorongoro Conservation Area and will take dinner and spend overnight at the Ngorongoro Wildlife Lodge.
Day 13
After breakfast at the lodge we will drive through the northern Ngorongoro Conservation Area, pausing at times to view game as we move towards the endless plains of Serenget i National Park.
En route to the Serengeti we'll stop at Olduvai Gorge, where Richard and Mary Leakey discovered palaeontological fragments which some evolutionists still believe represent the remains of 'Early Man', 'Zijatropus'. After a game drive in the Southern Serengeti we'll retire for dinner and overnight at the Serengeti Sopa Lodge.
Day 14
For the best sunrise game viewing opportunities we need to be woken very early this morning. We'll do a morning game drive until around 09:30 on which we hope to be able to disturb some lions as they sunbathe on the kopjes or take their morning draughts along the waterways we'll follow. Then it will be time to head south again to our lodge where we'll have breakfast. Further game driving will return us to the Ngorongoro Crater lip where we'll have dinner and overnight at the Sopa Lodge.
Day 15
This morning, after breakfast, for the very best encounters we should aim to be amongst the first parties to descend into the Ngorongoro Crater after the gate opens at 06:30, so we should do our best to rise early. Home to one of the densest concentrations of wildlife on the planet the Ngorongoro Crater is known widely as the eighth wonder of the world and hosts the endangered black rhino species which we may chance to see. We'll view game here until late afternoon before ascending to the lip again from where we'll transfer for dinner and overnight at Tarangire Sopa Lodge.
Day 16
After breakfast at the lodge we'll collect our lunch boxes and enjoy a game drive in Tarangire National Park on which we can typically expect to see many roaming elephant, rare Baobab Trees and possibly even the tree-climbing python. Early in the evening we'll drive to L'Oasis Lodge in Arusha for dinner and overnight.
Day 17
By this morning we'll need to have a made a decision:
Option A: MAASAI VILLAGE
After breakfast at the lodge we'll drive to Lengijave to visit some Maasai families. Visitors always relish this experience hugely. You'll be invited into the hut of the senior wife who is present and have the opportunity to discuss many aspects of her life in the Maasai tribe: what it is like being one of several wives; how the men train to become warriors; some fascinating rules about hospitality and travelling, and many more things about why the world respects and values this unique tribe. We'll have a traditional lunch with the family and afterwards enjoy a walk in their environs on which we'll have the chance to discuss many issues that affect the tribe, projects that are underway to improve their standard of living without threatening their way of life and anything else that will interest you about traditional village life. In the evening we'll return to L'Oasis Lodge for dinner and overnight.
or
Option B: COFFEE TOUR & LAKE DULUTI
After breakfast at the lodge we'll drive to Tengeru Village located on the slopes of Mt Meru. From here we'll enjoy a coffee plantation tour. We'll visit the locally owned and run farm and later participate in processing the coffee from the roasting of the beans to the testing of the very cup of coffee that you yourself have made. For lunch we'll join some Meru tribes people for traditional food and afterwards take a walk to the legendary caldera lake, Duluti. This is a volcanic water feature of unknown depth where it is possible to hire canoes and paddle freely across its width or along its shores. There are also excellent opportunities for bird viewing, and tree identification. Later we'll drive back to L'Oasis Lodge for dinner and overnight.
Departure dates
The departure dates for all our safaris, tours and treks are totally flexible according to your own personal needs (subject to availability). Please contact us for further and more detailed info, as well as information on photographic travel packages, safaris, tours and treks into Tanzania.
