15-Day Gorilla Trekking Tour and Safari Holiday in Uganda

Meet your guide and begin the journey towards Entebbe, allowing time for the main stops on the route. A modest first evening helps with jet lag before the safari begins. The plan follows the route agreed with your driver-guide and leaves time for appropriate short breaks.

Leave Entebbe for Lake Mburo National Park, including a wildlife drive where the day’s route allows. The compact park fits conveniently into a road journey between western Uganda and Entebbe. If you want a particular optional activity, mention it before departure so permits, travel time and extra charges can be checked.

Leave Lake Mburo National Park for Bwindi Impenetrable National Park, including a guided walk where the day’s route allows. Gorilla trekking starts with a park briefing before a guided forest walk. If you want a particular optional activity, mention it before departure so permits, travel time and extra charges can be checked.

Continue exploring Bwindi Impenetrable National Park with time set aside for gorilla trekking. The route can be steep or muddy and the time needed to find a gorilla family varies.

Leave Bwindi Impenetrable National Park for Ishasha, including the main stops on the route where the day’s route allows. The sector also makes a convenient stage between the northern park and Bwindi. The planned night is at Enjojo Lodge [Safari Tent]. Confirm room availability before booking.

Leave Ishasha for Queen Elizabeth National Park, including a wildlife drive where the day’s route allows. The Kasenyi plains are a useful area for viewing Uganda kob, elephants and other savannah wildlife. If you want a particular optional activity, mention it before departure so permits, travel time and extra charges can be checked.

Continue exploring Queen Elizabeth National Park with time set aside for a wildlife drive. Predators may be present, although sightings depend on weather and animal movements. The planned night is at Enshama Game Lodge. Confirm room availability before booking.

Leave Queen Elizabeth National Park for Kibale National Park, including a wildlife drive where the day’s route allows. Rain is possible in the forest, so a light waterproof layer and suitable shoes help. The planned night is at Chimpanzee Capital Safari Lodge. Confirm room availability before booking.

Leave Kibale National Park for Murchison Falls National Park, including the main stops on the route where the day’s route allows. The park combines broad savannah with the Nile and its steep-sided waterfall. The journey on day 9 forms part of a 15-day programme, so avoid adding unplanned detours that would reduce time at Murchison Falls National Park.

Continue exploring Murchison Falls National Park with time set aside for a wildlife drive. Giraffes, elephants, antelopes and buffaloes may appear on the game-drive tracks. If you want a particular optional activity, mention it before departure so permits, travel time and extra charges can be checked.

Leave Murchison Falls National Park for Kidepo Valley National Park, including a wildlife drive where the day’s route allows. The distance from the main western circuit means transfer days should not be rushed. Game drives may explore the Narus Valley and other accessible habitats depending on conditions.

Continue exploring Kidepo Valley National Park with time set aside for a wildlife drive. Kidepo’s remote plains offer open views and a quieter setting than busier safari routes.

Continue exploring Kidepo Valley National Park with time set aside for a guided walk. Game drives may explore the Narus Valley and other accessible habitats depending on conditions.

Leave Kidepo Valley National Park for Ziwa Rhino Sanctuary, including a guided walk where the day’s route allows. A sanctuary walk is different from a vehicle game drive and suits a steady, quiet pace.

Continue exploring Ziwa Rhino Sanctuary with time set aside for rhino tracking. Ranger-led rhino tracking takes place on foot and follows the animals’ location on the day.
