About this safari
This carefully designed 7-day Rwanda and Uganda safari offers an unforgettable journey through two of East Africa's most spectacular wildlife destinations. The itinerary combines breathtaking landscapes, rare primate encounters, and classic African game viewing, making it an ideal choice for travelers seeking an immersive yet compact safari experience.
Your adventure begins in Rwanda, famously known as the "Land of a Thousand Hills," where you will experience the unique opportunity to track the endangered Golden Monkeys in Volcanoes National Park. From there, you will cross into Uganda, home to some of Africa's richest biodiversity and extraordinary wildlife experiences.
The highlight of the safari is an unforgettable Mountain Gorilla Trekking adventure in the ancient Bwindi Impenetrable National Park, where you will spend a magical hour observing one of the world's last remaining mountain gorilla families in their natural habitat. The journey continues to Queen Elizabeth National Park, Uganda's most popular savannah reserve, where exciting game drives offer opportunities to spot elephants, lions, buffaloes, leopards, antelopes, and many other wildlife species. A scenic boat cruise along the Kazinga Channel further enhances the experience with close-up sightings of hippos, crocodiles, and an incredible variety of birdlife.
The safari concludes with an exhilarating Chimpanzee Trekking experience in one of Uganda's lush tropical forests, where you'll observe our closest relatives in their natural environment while learning about their fascinating behavior.
Perfect for couples, families, photographers, wildlife enthusiasts, and first-time visitors to East Africa, this week-long safari seamlessly blends adventure, conservation, culture, and breathtaking scenery into one remarkable journey. Optional airport transfers, additional accommodation, and customized extensions can be arranged upon request to provide a smooth, personalized, and hassle-free travel experience from start to finish.
