Tour Overview
This ten-day safari begins with an overnight in Entebbe and combines rhino tracking with Uganda’s major western wildlife habitats. The route includes Murchison Falls, the Kibale area, Queen Elizabeth, Bwindi and Lake Mburo without changing countries.
For 10-Day Tailor-Made Holiday & Tour in Uganda –Big 5 Safari, the route lasts 10 days and follows a practical sequence through Entebbe, Murchison Falls National Park, Kibale National Park, with further stops before Lake Mburo National Park. Each overnight is matched to the route, while driving times depend on conditions on the day. Wildlife remains free-ranging, so sightings and walking distances can never be guaranteed.
