Here, you’ll board a canoe to navigate through the papyrus channels in search of the elusive shoebill stork. Along the way, you may spot a variety of other bird species, such as African jacanas and malachite kingfishers. Afterward, return to Entebbe for an afternoon at leisure or explore the Botanical Gardens.

Day 3: Transfer to Murchison Falls National Park

After breakfast, embark on a scenic drive to Murchison Falls National Park, Uganda’s largest protected area. The journey reveals stunning landscapes, including rolling hills and traditional villages. Pause for lunch en route before arriving at the park. Once there, visit the top of Murchison Falls, where the Nile River crashes through a narrow gorge, creating a spectacular waterfall. End your day at a lodge overlooking the savannah.

Day 4: Game Drive and Nile River Cruise

Today begins with an early morning game drive across the northern savannah. Keep an eye out for lions, elephants, giraffes, and buffalo roaming freely. Later, enjoy a boat cruise along the Nile River, where you’ll witness hippos, crocodiles, and a myriad of waterbirds. The cruise culminates near the base of Murchison Falls, offering a dramatic view of this natural wonder.

Day 5: Transfer to Kibale Forest National Park

Leave Murchison Falls behind as you journey south to Kibale Forest National Park, a world-renowned destination for chimpanzee trekking. The drive passes through verdant tea plantations and scenic countryside. Upon arrival, settle into your lodge nestled within the lush forest. The evening is yours to relax or take a short nature walk.

Rise early for an exhilarating chimpanzee trekking experience. Guided by experts, venture into the dense forest to observe these intelligent primates in their natural habitat. Along the way, discover a variety of other primates, such as red-tailed monkeys and black-and-white colobus monkeys. After lunch, visit the Bigodi Wetland Sanctuary, a community conservation project teeming with birdlife.

This morning, drive to Queen Elizabeth National Park, Uganda’s most diverse wildlife reserve. En route, stop at the scenic Ndali-Kasenda Crater Lakes for a photo opportunity. Upon reaching the park, embark on an afternoon game drive in search of tree-climbing lions and other wildlife. The day concludes with a stay at a lodge overlooking the Kazinga Channel.

Day 8: Game Drive and Kazinga Channel Boat Safari

Begin your day with a game drive in the park’s Kasenyi Plains, where lions, leopards, and antelopes abound. After lunch, set off on a boat safari along the Kazinga Channel, a hotspot for wildlife viewing. Witness herds of elephants, buffalo, and hippos congregating along the water’s edge. The channel is also a paradise for bird lovers, with species like African fish eagles and pelicans in abundance.

Head to the Ishasha Sector, a unique part of Queen Elizabeth National Park renowned for its tree-climbing lions. With luck, you’ll spot these majestic predators lounging in fig trees. This area also hosts a variety of other animals, including topis and buffalo. Spend the night in a wilderness lodge, surrounded by the sounds of nature.

Day 10: Transfer to Bwindi Impenetrable National Park

Your Uganda safari continues with a transfer to Bwindi Impenetrable National Park, home to nearly half of the world’s mountain gorillas. The drive offers stunning views of rolling hills and terraced farms. Once at Bwindi, settle into your lodge and prepare for tomorrow’s gorilla trekking adventure.

Once you find them, spend a magical hour observing these gentle giants. The experience is both humbling and unforgettable. Return to your lodge to reflect on this extraordinary encounter.

Day 12: Transfer to Lake Bunyonyi

After the thrill of gorilla trekking, journey to the serene Lake Bunyonyi, known as the “Switzerland of Africa.” Surrounded by terraced hills, the lake’s islands and tranquil waters provide the perfect setting for relaxation. Spend your afternoon kayaking, swimming, or simply soaking in the views from your lodge.
