Itinerary
Day 1: Welcome to Uganda! by our company representative Airport
transfer to your Hotel in Jinja /Kampala / Entebbe
Day 2 & 3: Flight to Murchison Falls National Park. Early in
the morning drop off at Entebbe International Airport for a
domestic flight towards one of the most beautiful protected area
in Uganda: Murchison Falls National Park at Pakuba Airstrip. From
here you will be transferred through the park to your
accommodation for check in at your accommodation. Enjoy lunch from
the terrace with magnificent views of the river Nile and relax
before going on a game drive for a first introduction with
Uganda’s flora and fauna, After an early breakfast we start the
day with a game drive on the northern bank of the Nile, with
chances of seeing giraffes, elephants, lions, hartebeest and
different species of birds. In the afternoon the safari will be
continued with a boat cruise on the river Nile for game viewing at
close quarters.
Day 4 & 5: Flight via Entebbe to Queen Elizabeth National
Park. The day begins early when we start with a morning game drive
and head to the mating ground of the Uganda Kobs. We search for
lions, elephants, buffaloes and other wild animals in their
natural habitat before returning for lunch. In the afternoon we
take on a boat cruise along the Kazinga Channel, a natural channel
between Lake Edward and Lake George. Thanks to the abundant
birdlife that is sighted, and the elephants, buffaloes and
hundreds of hippos that are cooling off at the shores, this cruise
will definitely be one of the highlights of your safari. Dinner
and overnight.
Day 6 & 7: Flight to Bwindi Impenetrable Forest you will be
tranferred from Kisoro Airstrip to Bwindi and check into your
accomodation after early morning breakfast Gorilla tracking, the
highlight of your Safari and meeting with the giants gorillas of
Bwindi! Expect to walk a long distance in steep and muddy
conditions, sometimes with rain overhead, before you encounter any
gorillas. But it will definitely be worthwhile as you observe them
closely while they eat, play and rest
Day 8 & 9: Kibale Forest National ,After early morning
Breakfast transfer to Kisoro Airstrip for a flight to Kibale
Forest National Park which is located just east of the Ruwenzori
Mountains, near the town of Fort Portal. Chimpanzee tracking is
excellent thanks to several walking trails and a large number of
resident Chimp families in the forest. There is also a wonderfully
diverse concentration of other primates (of any forest in East
Africa in fact), including: Red Colobus, Red-tailed Guenon,
White-nosed Monkey, Gray-cheeked Mangabey, Blue Monkey, L'Hoest's
Monkey, and the Black and White Colobus Monkey. In addition, you
may see Olive Baboons, Bush Babies and Nocturnal Pottos, as these
animals have been the subject of long-term research projects, and
so they are used to human presence.
Day 9: To Kibale Forest National Park.
Day 10: Return to Entebbe international
