About This Tour

This comprehensive 7-day safari brings together Uganda's greatest wildlife experiences into a single unforgettable journey. You'll traverse the country from the mighty Murchison Falls in the north to the misty gorilla forests of Bwindi in the south-west.

Begin with a boat ride to the base of the thundering Murchison Falls, where the entire Nile squeezes through a 7-metre gap. Enjoy game drives alongside giraffes, elephants, and lions. Then head south to Kibale National Park, home to 13 primate species including habituated chimpanzees.

The grand finale awaits in Bwindi Impenetrable National Park where you'll trek to meet mountain gorillas face-to-face. Combined with scenic crater lakes, rolling tea plantations, and warm Ugandan hospitality, this is the definitive East Africa safari.
