About this safari
This 10-day Uganda safari follows a wildlife-rich route from Entebbe through Murchison Falls National Park, Kibale Forest National Park, Queen Elizabeth National Park and Bwindi Impenetrable Forest. It is designed for travelers seeking Big Five viewing, chimpanzee tracking and a full hour with a mountain gorilla family. The itinerary is associated with destination reference e6806257-e4c9-4e32-840c-773f006ecdd1. Begin in Entebbe with airport transfer arrangements before traveling north to Murchison Falls National Park. Here, game drives explore the savannah while a boat safari on the Nile travels toward the base of Murchison Falls, where the river is forced through a gorge barely seven metres wide. The park offers a strong setting for Big Five wildlife viewing and river scenery. Continue to Kibale Forest National Park for chimpanzee tracking and a walk through Bigodi Wetland Sanctuary. This forest section adds close primate encounters and wetland exploration to the broader Uganda safari experience. Accommodation is provided as listed, with meals indicated in the itinerary and drinking water available in the vehicle. The route then reaches Queen Elizabeth National Park for game drives across the Kasenyi Plains and a boat safari along the Kazinga Channel. Expect opportunities to see the park’s wildlife and the tree-climbing lions of the Ishasha sector as the journey continues south toward Bwindi Impenetrable Forest. Bwindi is the distinctive final wildlife destination, with a gorilla trekking permit included and a full hour with a mountain gorilla family. The combination of savannah game drives, Nile and Kazinga Channel boat safaris, chimpanzee tracking and gorilla trekking makes this itinerary unique. Park entrance fees, game drives, a professional safari guide, airport transfers, accommodation as listed, indicated meals, drinking water, gorilla trekking and chimpanzee trekking permits, and both boat safaris are included.
