Home » Tours & Safaris » Uganda Grand Tour

The Uganda Grand Tour Safari Adventure will take you through all of Uganda’s major national parks for unforgettable experiences, gorilla trekking, and communing with nature in soulful and heart-pounding activities.

Start your adventure in Kibale National Park. Three days of your journey have been set aside here, including an exciting primate walk in the park, which is teeming with wildlife and allows you to see and hear the 13 different species of primates.

After that, you’ll head to Queen Elizabeth National Park and the riverside Ishasha Wilderness Camp. Wildlife tours, chimp tracking, and birding safaris are popular in Queen Elizabeth. While you’re here, take advantage of the opportunity to see lions, elephants, bushbucks, and the Ugandan kob in a game vehicle. Your luxury African adventure safari drive will also include breathtaking scenery as you travel to volcanic craters at the foothills of the misty Mountains of the Moon. The view is absolutely stunning.

Following Queen Elizabeth, the journey continues to Bwindi Impenetrable Forest. The next three days will be spent exploring the dense forest and its habituated gorilla families from this secluded location on the Munyanga River. After an early breakfast, you will set out with guides and rangers to track these gorillas for several hours. Game drives and cultural explorations in the surrounding area can also be added to your enriching visit to this beautiful protected area.

Accommodation:
- Protea Entebbe (1 night)
Days 2-4: Kibale:

This morning, you will take a private transfer to Kibale, passing through interesting towns and villages. In Kibale, you will have the opportunity to trek through the forest in search of the forest’s most famous inhabitant, the chimp. Explore the paths of the forest with your expert guide, keeping an eye out for chimps, bush pigs, and forest elephants. Explore Bigodi Swamp in search of a variety of monkeys and the great blue turaco, as well as many other bird species.

Days 4-6: Queen Elizabeth:

Drive up to Queen Elizabeth National Park from Kibale and make your way to the Ishasha region, which is located in the park’s remote southern sector. This woodland area, which is drier than the park’s north, is home to the magnificent tree-climbing lion. Here, you can go on a safari in the comfort of your own vehicle, looking for elephants, buffalo, and, of course, the park’s lion. Other activities include a cruise on the Kazinga channel, which is home to an abundance of hippos, elephants, crocodiles, and birds, as well as intimate bush breakfasts and dinners.

Accommodation:

Days 6-9: Bwindi:

After a final game drive, travel to Uganda’s south-western corner and the Bwindi Impenetrable Forest, which is home to the infamous mountain gorilla. Bwindi is one of the few places in the world where you can trek to see the elusive mountain gorilla in its natural habitat, as it is home to roughly half of the world’s population of this endangered species. A once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to observe families interacting and infants playing in their forest home. When you’re not trekking gorillas, learn about the vibrant local community that borders this National Park on an educational village visit or go for nature walks in the dense, lush forest.

Accommodation:
- Buhoma Lodge (3 nights)
Days 9: Departure:

Transfer from your lodge to Bwindi airstrip and board your light aircraft flight to Entebbe Airport for your flight home.
