Overview
Bwindi and Queen Elizabeth, at your pace
Six days pairs one gorilla trek in Bwindi with two days in Queen Elizabeth National Park, the savannah stretch between two lakes where Ishasha's lions climb trees.
The drive between the two parks takes most of a day; we treat it as a game drive in its own right rather than a transfer to endure.

Best months
The Ishasha lions are resident but not guaranteed on any single drive; two nights in the sector gives a realistic chance.
