About This Trip
This 14-day safari across Uganda offers an unforgettable journey through some of the country’s most spectacular national parks, combining thrilling wildlife encounters, primate tracking, and breathtaking scenery. Designed for travelers seeking a deeper exploration of Uganda’s natural wonders, the adventure takes you through diverse landscapes ranging from savannah plains and tropical rainforests to crater lakes and tranquil wetlands. Along the way, you will experience the incredible biodiversity that has earned Uganda the reputation as one of Africa’s most rewarding safari destinations.
The journey begins with a visit to Ziwa Rhino Sanctuary, where you will track Uganda’s only wild rhinos on foot with experienced rangers. From there, continue to Murchison Falls National Park, the country’s largest national park, famous for its dramatic waterfall where the Victoria Nile forces through a narrow gorge. Game drives across the park reveal elephants, lions, giraffes, and antelopes, while a boat safari along the Nile brings you close to hippos, crocodiles, and abundant birdlife at the base of the powerful Murchison Falls.
The safari continues south to Kibale Forest National Park, known as the primate capital of East Africa. Here you will enjoy scenic drives through tea plantations and crater lakes near Fort Portal, as well as engaging community and cultural experiences that showcase local traditions. From Kibale, the journey leads to Queen Elizabeth National Park, where classic African game drives reveal lions, elephants, buffaloes, and other wildlife. A relaxing boat cruise along the wildlife-rich Kazinga Channel provides excellent opportunities to observe large concentrations of hippos, crocodiles, and birds.
A highlight of the adventure is chimpanzee tracking in Kalinzu Forest Reserve, followed by a journey to the stunning highland landscapes near Lake Mutanda. Nearby lies the legendary Bwindi Impenetrable National Park, home to the endangered mountain gorillas. Trekking through the dense forest to encounter a gorilla family in their natural habitat is a once-in-a-lifetime wildlife experience and one of the most remarkable highlights of any African safari.
