Description

Get close to grey giants, our furry relatives and beautiful landscapes of all kind, during this 10-day safari in Uganda.

You’ll kick your once-in-a-lifetime adventure off with a bang: meet the rhinos of Ziwa Rhino Sanctuary and get closer to them than you’ve ever imagined. In Murchison Falls National Park you can get carried away but the rapid streams of River Nile (not literally!). Marvel at thrilling wildlife like hippos, giraffes, elephants and countless colourful birds during a relaxed boat and unique jeep safari. Passing crater lakes, tea fields and villages, you’ll reach Kibale National Park. Immerse yourself deep in this lush emerald forest and see our closest relatives, the chimpanzees, living their daily life.

Your next stop will take you to the royal Queen Elizabeth National Park. Hop into your safari jeep and go searching for the (in)famous Big Five and rare animals like the Shoebill. Your adventure ends just the way it started: with a unique experience. In Lake Mburo National Park you’ll embark on a night game drive: exciting, a wee bit spooky, and an absolute must-do!

Itinerary

You arrive at Entebbe International Airport, your gateway to the diverse beauty of Uganda! This is the country of adventurous mountain gorilla and chimp trekking, stunning wildlife safaris, amazing road trips and wilderness adventures by boat, bike, horse or foot. Experience the warm hospitality of the Ugandan people and be amazed by the cultural encounters with the different indigenous tribes. With us, you’ll experience it all! Our driver awaits you in the airport, carrying a sign with your name on it. Welcome to Uganda!

From Entebbe you make your way to the country’s oldest national park: Murchison Falls. On the way you take a break visiting the rhinos of the Ziwa Rhino Sanctuary and once arrived in Murchison, you can start looking forward to a jeep safari of the unique kind.

In a jeep, with a boat and on foot – this is how you discover the best Murchison Falls National Park has to offer. Get ready to be wowed by African animals, Ugandan landscapes and captivating waterfalls.

Today you drive from Murchison Falls to Kibale National Park. This 6-hour drive leads you past welcoming villages, rainforests, charming tea plantations and mesmerizing crater lakes towards Fort Portal - a friendly and hospitable gateway city to Uganda's adventures. If the weather is clear, you can see the Rwenzori Mountains with their snow-capped peaks. And then, get ready for Kibale Forest, the primate capital of the world with no less than 13 different species of monkeys!

In the depths of the rainforest you get to observe our closest relatives play, eat and groom each other – an experience which will make everyone’s eyes sparkle! And since the jungle holds many more treasures, you go on the hunt for them afterwards during a swamp walk (not literally!).

The drive to Queen Elizabeth National Park is like a trailer for the big movie – your safari, which happens on the very same day! The superstars of the most royal of all parks cannot wait to pose for your pictures.

After discovering countless gems of Queen Elizabeth National Park on land, it's time to hop into a comfy boat and do the same on the Kazinga channel – the home of hippos, crocodiles and colourful birds.

From the most royal park, you make your way to the smallest park in Uganda. That, however, does not mean that Lake Mburo has nothing in store for you. Quite the contrary: look forward to rare beauties like the shoebill stork and animals which turn night into day.

Marvel at African wildlife from up close (like really close!) during a walking safari in Lake Mburo National Park and step into your private jeep to dive even deeper into the unique landscape around the glistening Lake Mburo.

After some exhilarating days, the end of your adventure is near. Enjoy the ride back to where it all started, take in the stunning views once more, and take off with new memories that last forever. Or simply stay a little longer.

Faq

Uganda is a safe country to visit (yay!). Especially if you want to join organised game drives with private guides, as you will do with us. There are, of course, some places to avoid in big cities like Kampala or Entebbe. But – as with everywhere else in the world – you’ll be fine by taking some precautions. Just some examples to be on the safe side (pun intended): don’t explore the city at night without a driver or guide, keep your valuables close to you, avoid wearing big and visible jewellery and leave some things like passports in the hotel safe.

This is an exclusive, private safari that allows you to travel at your own pace. This trip is made just for you, exactly as you want it! Our experienced travel consultants will make sure that your wishes come true. There are numerous advantages to such a trip. First, you can cruise around in a private safari vehicle and have a personal guide. It’s completely up to you what time you leave in the morning and when you come back (taking into account your guide’s advice, of course). Secondly, once you’re in a national park, you can observe specific animals or herds for as long as you like. No one will push you to move along. And lastly, knowing your wishes, your personal guide will give you the right tips, turning your trip into an unforgettable experience.

At Scenery Adventures, we’re all about co-creating your perfect journey. When you plan your African adventures with us, you’re not just booking a trip; you’re embarking on a personalised experience. We start by understanding your wishes and preferences, and we won’t stop until every aspect of your journey aligns perfectly with your vision. Our team works closely with you to ensure that your entire trip is tailor-made to your satisfaction. And for added convenience, we offer a selection of our most popular African tours and safaris as a starting point for your consideration.

Yes, yes, yes! And not only the Big Five pose for your pictures, but also hyenas, hippos, zebras or the unique Ugandan kob, and more than 1,000 bird species of all kinds and colours. And if you love primates, Uganda clearly is your place to be: the diverse jungles are home to as many as 24 species of monkeys, from the nocturnal galagos to the beautifully colored blue monkeys and the breathtaking mountain gorillas.
