Tour Overview

Not everyone has two weeks for safari, and this itinerary proves you do not need them for an extraordinary Uganda experience. We have distilled the essentials into one action-packed week: mountain gorillas, tree-climbing lions, boat safaris, and beautiful scenery.

The journey takes you from Entebbe through the dramatic western highlands to Bwindi Impenetrable Forest - a UNESCO World Heritage Site and one of the most biodiverse places on Earth.

From Bwindi, you travel to Queen Elizabeth National Park for classic African safari experiences. It is a lot to pack in, but every moment is worth it.
