Later, you take your dinner and have an overnight rest at your lodge.
After breakfast, the guide will pick you up at 7.30 and transfer you to the park headquarters and brief you before. You will be set into the forest to trek the chimpanzees and take pictures and videos as you observe how they live and interact. Later, you will be driven to Queen Elizabeth national park. At noon, take your lunch and embark on the evening game drive and continue trekking the chimpanzees on the evening game drive.
