Summary

Uganda isn't called the Pearl of Africa for nothing. In just one week, you'll track rhinos on foot, trek through thick jungle in search of wild chimpanzees and spend time with mountain gorillas in Bwindi. Add Big 5 game drives, Nile views and landscapes that shift from green hills to open savannah, and you've got one seriously stacked wildlife escape. Best part? You can camp under the stars without lifting a finger (thanks to your very own Camp Manager), or kick back in a chalet-style stay instead.

Included Experience

  • Bwindi Impenetrable National Park: Venture deep into Bwindi Impenetrable Forest in search of mountain gorillas. With expert guides leading the way, you#ll trek through thick jungle before spending one incredible hour observing a gorilla family up close.
  • Kalinzu Forest: Step into Kalinzu Forest with local trackers and listen out for the calls of wild chimpanzees. You#ll hike through dense jungle before watching these clever primates swing, climb and do their thing in the wild.
    Please Note: The Chimp Trek might take place in a different forest or different day depending on permit availability.
  • Queen Elizabeth National Park: Our drive from Kalinzu Forest to our accommodation for the night means we get to do a scenic drive through Queen Elizabeth National Park. It may be a simple ride through the reserve, but there#s still plenty of opportunity to spot wildlife along the way, with stops made for animal sightings and photos as we journey through Uganda#s famous savannah landscapes.
  • Queen Elizabeth National Park: Snap the classic Equator photo near Kikorongo and casually stand in two hemispheres at once.
  • Murchison Falls National Park: Enter Murchison Falls National Park with a scenic transit game drive to our home for the next two nights. Keep watch for giraffes, elephants, buffalo and antelope as we roll through Uganda#s largest national park.
  • Murchison Falls National Park: View the top of Murchison Falls - watch the Nile force its way through a narrow gorge before crashing below, with viewpoints that absolutely earn their place on the camera roll.
  • Ziwa Rhino Sanctuary: Follow expert rangers through Ziwa Rhino Sanctuary for a seriously special encounter with Uganda#s only wild rhinos. You#ll learn how these legends are being protected, then spot them in the bush from a safe distance.
