In fact, you are unlikely to meet more than a couple different cars on any given day of game driving. You will continue to Murchison Falls National Park, game drive and launch trips to the bottom of the falls, to then proceed to Kibale Forest National Park for the Chimpanzee tracking and crown it with the visit to the Mountain Gorillas in Bwindi Impenetrable Forest.
