Depart Entebbe early and drive north to Murchison Falls NP, Uganda's largest national park. Stop at Ziwa Rhino Sanctuary for a rhino tracking experience — the only place in Uganda to see wild rhinos. Continue to the park and settle into your lodge.
Morning game drive on the northern bank of the Nile, spotting giraffes, elephants, lions, and hartebeest. Afternoon boat cruise upstream to the base of the magnificent Murchison Falls — watch hippos, crocodiles, and countless waterbirds along the way.
Drive south through the Albertine Rift to Fort Portal, the tourism capital of western Uganda. Check into your lodge near Kibale Forest. Afternoon visit to the Bigodi Wetland Sanctuary for bird watching and primate spotting.
Early morning chimpanzee tracking in Kibale, home to the highest density of primates in Africa. Trek through the tropical rainforest to observe chimps feeding, playing, and socialising. Afternoon drive to Queen Elizabeth NP.
Morning game drive on the Kasenyi plains searching for lions, elephants, and buffalo. Afternoon boat cruise on the Kazinga Channel — one of Africa's greatest boat safari experiences with abundant hippos and birdlife.
Drive through the stunning Ishasha sector (look for tree-climbing lions) to Bwindi Impenetrable National Park. Enjoy the scenic route through tea plantations and terraced hillsides. Evening briefing at the park HQ.
The highlight of the trip: trek into Bwindi's ancient forest to spend one magical hour with a mountain gorilla family. After the trek, celebrate with lunch and begin the return journey to Entebbe (or take an optional flight from Kihihi Airstrip).
We have used this company three times now and they never disappoint. Professional, reliable, and they truly know the parks inside out. Highly recommended!
They arranged everything perfectly for our honeymoon — private vehicle, champagne breakfast in the bush, and a surprise sundowner. Beyond our expectations!
