11-Day Uganda: Gorilla Trekking and Safari Adventure

Arrive in Entebbe, a land of lush greenery, shimmering lakes, and remarkable biodiversity. Upon arrival, transfer to your hotel and settle in, with the evening at leisure to relax and unwind.

Depart Entebbe and fly to Murchison Falls National Park, one of the Nile’s most scenic regions and the setting of The African Queen. After settling into your lodge along the Victoria Nile, enjoy an evening game drive before returning for a welcome dinner.

Set out on a game drive along the northern bank of the Nile in Murchison Falls National Park, where you may encounter giraffes, elephants, buffalo, lions, leopards, and antelope. Later, cruise to the base of the falls, where mist rises through a narrow gorge, offering superb sightings of hippos, crocodiles, and abundant birdlife.

Ascend to the top of Murchison Falls with your guide and take in sweeping views over the Nile. This afternoon, fly to Kibale National Park and settle into your lodge.

Kibale National Park is home to 11 primate species, including chimpanzees and mangabeys, as well as over 300 bird species. Rise early for your chimpanzee trek, moving quietly through the forest. After a picnic lunch, explore the Bigodi Wetlands with a guided walk and community visit. Return to your lodge for a relaxed afternoon, with an optional canoe experience before dinner.

Drive to Queen Elizabeth National Park, home to elephants, lions, hippos, and baboons, often seen on afternoon game drives. With diverse habitats—lakes, savannah, forests, and wetlands—the park supports one of the richest concentrations of wildlife in Uganda.

Continue your exploration in search of the famed tree-climbing lions, then pause to toast the day with a refreshing cocktail in the heart of the bush.

Set out on a morning game drive in Queen Elizabeth National Park. Afterwards, journey out of the Rift Valley to the misty highlands of Bwindi Impenetrable National Park, a UNESCO World Heritage Site. After lunch at your lodge, settle in and enjoy a relaxed evening at leisure.

Misty and richly forested, Bwindi Impenetrable National Park provides sanctuary to one of the world’s rarest creatures. Today, track endangered mountain gorillas, spending up to an hour in their presence. Observe mothers with infants and playful young under watchful eyes—an intimate, unforgettable encounter. Return to your lodge for a chef-led dining experience beneath the African night sky.

Today, once again experience the profound connection between primate and human as you embark on your final gorilla trek in Bwindi Impenetrable National Park. Return to your lodge for a farewell dinner with fellow guests, sharing the highlights of your unforgettable journey.

Fly to Entebbe and transfer to your hotel for a dayroom use, where you can relax before your international departure.
