Filled with unforgettable memories — from the soulful gaze of a mountain gorilla to the excited chatter of chimpanzees in the treetops — we begin our journey back to Kampala or Entebbe.
On the way, stop at the Equator for photos and a fun water experiment demonstrating the Coriolis effect — showing how water drains in opposite directions in the Northern and Southern Hemispheres due to Earth's rotation.
From there, your guide will either take you to the airport for your departure or to your hotel in Kampala or Entebbe for check-in and a relaxed conclusion to your trip. If you're staying longer, we’ll gladly arrange your airport transfer on your departure day.
Alternatively, you may choose to fly back to Entebbe from Kihihi Airstrip — a scenic flight of about one hour. The drive from the lodge to the airstrip takes approximately one hour.
