8 Days Ultimate Uganda Safari Experience

The Complete Uganda Wildlife Experience

This 8-day safari is the ultimate introduction to Uganda's extraordinary Wildlife biodiversity, seamlessly combining the country's four most iconic national parks into one comprehensive adventure. From tracking nearly half of the world's remaining mountain gorillas (459 individuals) in Bwindi's UNESCO-listed rainforest to witnessing the rare spectacle of tree-climbing lions in Ishasha's ancient fig trees, this journey showcases wildlife encounters found nowhere else on Earth.

Your expedition begins in Murchison Falls National Park—Uganda's largest protected area—home to over 900 elephants, 10,000+ buffaloes, and 35,000 Uganda kobs. Witness the Nile River's explosive force as it thunders through a 7-meter gorge, then cruise past one of the world's highest concentrations of hippos on the Kazinga Channel (40km waterway). Track over 1,500 chimpanzees in Kibale Forest (the "Primate Capital of the World" with 13 primate species), encounter white rhinos on foot at Ziwa Rhino Sanctuary (population: 48), and spend an unforgettable hour with one of Bwindi's 22 habituated mountain gorilla families. This itinerary flows naturally north to south, maximizing wildlife diversity while minimizing drive time.
