Detailed Itinerary
You will land at Entebbe International Airport, where our team will welcome you and drive you to Kampala Serena Hotel. Settle in, relax, and enjoy the rest of your evening at the hotel.

Accommodation: Kampala Serena Hotel
After breakfast, you will head north toward Murchison Falls National Park. Along the way, you will stop at Ziwa Rhino Sanctuary, the only place in Uganda where you can see wild white rhinos. Walk with a guide to track these rare animals and learn about the breeding programme that is helping save the species. After Ziwa, you continue through Masindi town and enter the park through the Kichumbanyobo gate. The scenery changes as you approach the mighty River Nile. Visit the top of Murchison Falls before heading to your lodge for the evening.
Meal Plan: Breakfast, Lunch & Dinner
Accommodation: Nile Safari Lodge
Start your morning with an early game drive across the park’s northern savannah. Look out for elephants, lions, leopards, buffaloes, Rothschild giraffes, hippos, and various antelopes. The park is also a fantastic birding destination with species like the African fish eagle, saddle-billed stork, and Abyssinian ground hornbill.
Return to the lodge for lunch. At 1:00 p.m., board a boat for a cruise along the Nile toward the base of the falls. Watch hippos bathing in the water and crocodiles resting on the riverbanks. You will get very close to the thundering falls — a truly spectacular sight.

Accommodation: Chimpundu Lodge
This morning, you head to the park headquarters for a briefing before entering the forest to track chimpanzees. Your guide will take you to where the chimps slept the night before and follow them through the forest. Kibale’s terrain is mostly flat, making the trek manageable for most people. Spend time watching the chimps play, feed, and interact with one another.
After the trek, enjoy lunch at the lodge. In the afternoon, take a nature walk through the Bigodi Wetland Sanctuary, home to beautiful birds like the great blue turaco and green-breasted pitta, as well as several primate species.

After breakfast, transfer to Kasese Airstrip for a short flight to Bwindi Impenetrable Forest. You will land at Kihihi Airstrip and be driven to your lodge. This afternoon, you have the option to visit the local Batwa community for a cultural experience, or simply rest and prepare for tomorrow’s gorilla trek.
Meal Plan: Breakfast, Lunch & Dinner
Accommodation: Gorilla Safari Lodge
Gorilla Trekking in Bwindi Impenetrable National Park
Wake up early and enjoy breakfast before heading to the park headquarters for a briefing. You will be placed in a group of eight people, each group assigned to a specific gorilla family. Then, with your ranger guide leading the way, you enter the dense forest in search of mountain gorillas.
The trek can last anywhere from one to several hours depending on where the gorillas are. When you find them, you get one full hour to watch them up close — feeding, playing, and caring for their young. It is an experience that very few places on earth can offer.
After the trek, return to the lodge for lunch and a rest. In the afternoon, visit a Batwa community to learn about their forest traditions, music and way of life.

Day 11 Game Drive in Masai Mara
Rise early for an optional hot-air balloon ride over the Mara plains, watching vast herds of animals from above.

Day 12 Great Wildebeest Migration
An early breakfast is followed by a full-day game drive focused on the Great Wildebeest Migration. Between July and September, over a million wildebeest, zebras, and gazelles cross between Tanzania and Kenya in search of fresh grass. Watch predators — lions, cheetahs, and crocodiles — follow close behind. Every moment on the Mara is different, and today could bring the most dramatic wildlife sighting of your trip.
