Set off on a thrilling 10 day Uganda trekking and wildlife safari and experience the very best of the “Pearl of Africa.”
Your safari begins in Murchison Falls National Park, where the mighty Nile River crashes through a narrow gorge, creating one of the most powerful waterfalls in the world. Cruise along the river to spot hippos, crocodiles and elephants cooling off by the banks. The excitement continues in Kibale Forest, famous for its playful chimpanzees. Trek through the lush jungle, listening to their calls echo through the trees.
Next, head to Queen Elizabeth National Park, Uganda’s most diverse reserve. Enjoy classic game drives to see lions, buffaloes, elephants and antelopes roaming freely. Additionally, enjoy a boat safari along the Kazinga Channel.
From there, travel south to Bwindi Impenetrable Forest, home to endangered mountain gorillas. Trek deep into the misty rainforest to encounter these gentle giants. Later, relax on the peaceful shores of Lake Bunyonyi, where terraced hills and tranquil waters create the perfect place to unwind.
Your journey ends in Mgahinga Gorilla National Park, where golden monkeys leap through bamboo forests and the Batwa people share stories of their ancestral connection to the land.
