Departing from Entebbe, you begin your journey to the country’s oldest national park, Murchison Falls. Along the way, you will stop at Ziwa Rhino Sanctuary for an exciting rhino trekking experience. After arriving in Murchison, you can look forward to an unforgettable jeep safari through this remarkable landscape.

Experience Murchison Falls National Park from every angle by jeep, by boat, and on foot. This full-day adventure immerses you in the very best the park has to offer, from remarkable wildlife encounters to sweeping Ugandan landscapes and the thundering power of the falls themselves. Your day includes a scenic boat safari to the base of the falls, a rewarding hike to the Top of the Falls, and an exhilarating jeep safari through the heart of the park.

Your journey continues with a scenic drive from Murchison Falls to Kibale National Park. The route takes around six hours and winds past lively villages, dense rainforests, rolling tea plantations, and clusters of crater lakes as you approach Fort Portal, a warm and welcoming town known as the gateway to Uganda’s natural wonders. On clear days, the snow-dusted peaks of the Rwenzori Mountains appear in the distance. From here, prepare to enter Kibale Forest, famous worldwide as the primate capital, home to an impressive variety of monkey species.

Today brings you deep into the rainforest in search of chimpanzees. Watching these playful, intelligent relatives interact in their natural habitat is an unforgettable experience. After spending time with the chimps, you explore even more of Kibale’s hidden beauty on a guided swamp walk in the Bigodi Wetland Sanctuary, where the forest reveals yet more wildlife and plant treasures.

You leave Kibale behind and head toward Queen Elizabeth National Park, with the drive offering a preview of the wildlife and landscapes awaiting you. Later in the day, you embark on your first game drive in this iconic park. Keep your camera ready—its famous residents are always eager to make an appearance.

After exploring the park’s sweeping plains on a jeep safari, you board a boat for a different perspective. A cruise along the Kazinga Channel brings you up close to hippos, crocodiles, and a vibrant array of waterbirds. It’s a perfect combination of land and water exploration in one of Uganda’s most diverse ecosystems. Activities: • Jeep safari in Queen Elizabeth National Park • Boat safari along the Kazinga Channel

Today’s journey takes you from the savannahs of Queen Elizabeth National Park to the dense, emerald world of Bwindi Impenetrable Forest. Over the course of five to six hours, the scenery shifts dramatically from open plains to steep, forested slopes, offering beautiful views throughout the drive.

Your adventure reaches its highlight with a trek into the Rushaga sector of Bwindi, home to several gorilla families. Depending on the group you are assigned, you may spend one unforgettable hour with these gentle giants—or, for an additional fee, take part in an extended habituation experience lasting up to four hours. Watching gorillas interact, forage, and care for their young is deeply moving and often emotional. Trekking is done in small groups of up to eight, requires sturdy hiking shoes, and typically takes between two and four hours. Because permits are limited and in high demand, they must be arranged well in advance.

Fresh from your gorilla encounter, you set off for Lake Mburo National Park. During the seven-hour drive, the dense forest slowly gives way to gentle hills and open savannah. Lake Mburo is a haven for wildlife, so keep your eyes open for zebras, giraffes, antelopes, and a remarkable number of bird species as you approach the park.

Lake Mburo National Park invites you to explore it on foot and by vehicle. A guided walking safari lets you approach wildlife at remarkably close range, making for an exhilarating experience. Later, a jeep safari brings you deeper into the park’s landscapes, offering more opportunities to encounter its varied inhabitants.
