Day 1

Entebbe

The moment you've been waiting for has finally arrived: this is when your Ugandan safari begins. After a few brief formalities and an introduction to your guide, we'll start this journey together and begin to discover all of the amazing animals Uganda has to offer.

Entebbe and its international airport provide a wonderful introduction to Uganda. The airport is practically lapped by the waters of Africa's largest lake, while the town’s jungle-like setting gives it plenty of atmosphere. Once you're settled in here, you can enjoy some fabulous bird watching – fish eagles shriek overhead and turacos chatter in the forest – or head to any of several waterside restaurants for a relaxed meal or drink.

Day 2

Murchison Falls National Park

The main reason people visit Murchison Falls National Park is to see the spectacular namesake waterfall formed by the Nile as it explodes through a narrow cleft in the Rift Valley escarpment. But Uganda’s largest national park is also a highly rewarding safari destination, whether you're hoping for dramatic encounters with the Big Five (all but one of which, rhino, is present) or more interested in spotting local specialties such as the endangered Rothschild’s giraffe, the spindly-limbed patas monkey, or the dashingly colorful red-throated bee-eater and white-crested turaco.

Rhino tracking, Ziwa Rhino and Wildlife Ranch

Second only to elephants when it comes to bulk among African land mammals, white rhinos are intimidating creatures, as you'll see for yourself when you track them in Ziwa Rhino and Wildlife Ranch. This admirable rhino breeding project is home to plenty of other wildlife too, but Uganda's only population of rhinos does tend to steal the show, and it is a real thrill to encounter these peaceful grass-cropping giants on foot.

Set on fertile volcanic soils studded with beautiful crater lakes, Kibale National Park protects a 766km² tract of mid-altitude rainforest extending northwards from Queen Elizabeth National Park. Here, you can look forward to seeing a wide variety of monkeys, birds and butterflies, but the star attraction is a 1,000-strong population of chimpanzees, and their hysterical pant-hoot vocalizations, which carry deep into the forest interior.

Situated on the rim of the beautiful Kyaninga Crater Lake, this owner-managed lodge offers fabulous views in all directions, capped to the west by the distant glacial peaks of the Rwenzori Mountains. Whether you fancy relaxing in the swimming pool, hiking on a network of footpaths through the forested grounds, or canoeing in the crater lake, we think you’ll agree Kyaninga Lodge is close to perfection.

Mahogany Springs Lodge

Lodge

Safari lodges don't come much more luxurious than Mahogany Springs Lodge, our base for exploring the forests of Bwindi Impenetrable National Park. The lodge comprises just eight private cottages, none of which would look out of place in a safari-style magazine. Although it lies just outside Buhoma Gate, the property is bounded by the Munyanga River and faces one of the densely vegetated slopes typical of this forested national park. The fusion cuisine here is also outstanding, thanks to a Nepalese chef with 20 years’ experience in the safari industry.

Lake Mburo National Park

Protecting a tract of acacia woodland quite unlike any other habitat in Uganda, Lake Mburo National Park forms a convenient, popular and thoroughly worthwhile addition to any safari. A visit here isn't so much about the Big Five (though you’re certain to see buffalos, and leopards are a genuine possibility) as it is admiring the hilly setting, exploring the atmospheric wetlands, and enjoying the high concentrations of herbivores such as zebra, giraffe, hippo, warthog, impala and bushbuck.
