Expect to see elephants, giraffes, lions, hippos, crocodiles, buffaloes, and – if you’re lucky – even leopards.

Early morning game drive in this beautiful national park. Afternoon boat rides on the Victoria Nile up to the bottom of the falls. The boat is the perfect platform to see and photograph many different bird species and walk to the top of the falls.

After breakfast, spend a day in Fort Portal's beautiful town. Relax after a long drive, you can choose to do a few activities in the afternoon like tea tours, caves, and waterfall, or a Rwenzori mountain hike, and then transfer to Kibale Forest.

Stay at Kibale Forest Camp or Chimpanzee Guest House Chimpanzee. Do tracking in the morning or in the afternoon. For people interested in primates and birds and willing to make another walk, we can make a community walk in the Bigodi Wetland Sanctuary as well.

Transfer to the Queen Elizabeth national park. On our way, we pass the equator where we will make a stop. Game drive in the evening.

Queen Elizabeth national park is one of the best places in Uganda to see lions. Expect to see elephants, lions, many hippos, crocodiles, buffaloes, and sometimes leopards. Stay at Bush Lodge (mid-range) or Engiri Lodge (budget).

Game drive in the morning. Boat cruise on the Kazinga Channel in the afternoon.

The Kazinga Channel is one of the highlights of Uganda and has the highest concentration of hippos in the world.
