About the trip
Our trip to Uganda takes us to various parts of this fascinating country and gives us the chance to encounter an incredible variety of animal species.
From lions and elephants to bee-eaters, chimpanzees, and mighty gorillas... this tour has it all for animal lovers!
We’ll spend the first two days in Murchison Falls National Park, where, in addition to many animals, we’ll also experience the Nile from a new perspective.
In Kibale National Park, we’ll have the rare opportunity to observe chimpanzees in their natural habitat. We’ll also have the chance to see various monkey and bird species and take a river tour here as well.
After two days in Queen Elizabeth Park with elephants, lions, buffalo, and antelopes, the highlight of this trip awaits in the Bwindi Impenetrable National Park (
): an encounter with the mountain gorillas. Meeting these giants is an exciting and fascinating experience you will never forget.
We spend the remaining 4 days in the Lake Mburo region. In addition to elephants and lions, we also have the chance here to spot the largest antelope species, the giant eland, as well as zebras, which in Uganda can only be found here and in Kidepo National Park. Back in Entebbe, we reflect on the week before heading to the airport.
Of course, we’ll be staying at various locations during our tour. However, we’ve selected beautiful, comfortable lodges and accommodations at every stop.
We’ll be traveling in air-conditioned vans.
The Animals
The round trip in Uganda allows us to observe and photograph an indescribable variety of species. In the national parks of Murchison Falls, Queen Elizabeth and Lake Mburo, we have a good chance of seeing elephants, lions, giraffes, buffaloes, various species of antelope, hippos, crocodiles, hyenas and rare animals such as rhinos, shoebills and leopards!
In the Bwindi Impenetrable and Kibale National Parks, we focus on the primates: Mountain gorillas and chimpanzees. But of course we also have the opportunity to encounter other species in these forests. For example, giant turacos or forest elephants.
Accommodation & Catering
As we are on a round trip here, we change our accommodation every 2-3 days. We have selected great accommodation for the trip that conveys the safari feeling. These include Twinga Safari Lodge in Murchison Falls NP, Turaco Treetops in Kibale NP and Queen Elizabeth Bush Lodge.
We also eat most of our meals directly in the lodges, where we find great buffets and menus.
Daily Programme
As we are on a round trip here, no two days are the same!
As is usual on safaris, our days start early in the morning to allow for the best sightings when many animals are active.
We often have the opportunity to rest a little during the hot lunch time as well as enjoying a delicious meal. In the afternoon we then go stalking again before ending the day with dinner!
Equipment & Photography
Days in Uganda are often hot and humid. As is customary on safaris, we recommend lightweight, long-sleeved clothing to provide adequate protection from the sun and mosquitoes. We also recommend sturdy footwear.
In the evenings, the air cools down a bit, but mosquito repellent remains essential.
For photographers on this trip, we recommend medium and long range lenses to cover the various distances to the animals. Small lenses can also be useful with the gorillas, as we can get very close to the animals!
