After an introduction to your guide and a few brief formalities, it's time to get out there and find the animals for which Uganda is so famous. 📋 Key Details Duration: 10 days Style: Fully guided safari by road Meeting point: Entebbe Airport 🗺️ What to Expect On your arrival at Entebbe Airport, meet and greet and then transfer to the Lake Victoria Hotel. If time permits, visit the famous Entebbe Botanical Gardens and discover amazing flora species. You can also enjoy seeing a variety of bird species like the pink-backed pelican, yellow-billed stork, Eastern grey plantain-eater, yellow white-eye, purple-banded sunbird, African jacana, lesser jacana, yellow-billed duck, glossy ibis and many others. The drive to the Kibale Forest area is a full day of approximately 7 hours. After leaving the Lake Victoria Basin, you pass through the beautiful agricultural countryside where every type of fruit and vegetable imaginable is grown. Upon reaching Kyanjojo, in the lower foothills of the Rwenzori Mountains (mountains of the moon), we drive through beautiful tea plantations and into the Kibale tropical rainforest. 📍 Location The capital of Uganda, Kampala derives its name from a local phrase meaning Hill of Antelope. You won't find any antelope here today, but rather a rapidly growing city whose high-rise center ranks among the most important economic hubs in East Africa, with a varied culinary scene and nightlife. The drive passes through Fort Portal and then south along the Eastern length of the Rwenzori Mountains with the hope of viewing the glaciated peaks. We gently descend to the Great African Rift Valley and Queen Elizabeth National Park and arrive at Mweya Lodge. The lodge is situated on a peninsula overlooking Lake Edward and the Kazinga Channel, offering beautiful views of the park with the Rwenzori Mountains in the background. Lake Mburo National Park is a small park, excellent for birding, antelope, and other grazers, and one of the only places to easily see impala and zebra in Uganda. ✅ Prerequisites After breakfast, we take a short drive to the park headquarters and meet the excellent local guides and trackers who will give a talk on the etiquette of gorilla trekking. We then hike into the forest where the gorillas were seen the night before and track from that point. The trekking can take from 1 to 6 hours and climb to altitudes in excess of 7,500 feet. The terrain is rough and muddy… ### Essential information _None._ ### What’s included All internal Airport transfers on this ten-day Uganda route All meals on safari days as set out on Verdoro's published itinerary Fully guided safari with driver guide for the full loop All accommodations named in the day-by-day plan from arrival through Lake Mburo All permits and Park entry fees for the activities listed on this tour Transport between Entebbe, western parks, and return sectors by road ### What’s not included Laundry Services Flights Visa Souvenirs Tips Transport to and from the meeting point if you do not use the included transfers ### Kit list Waterproof clothing is a good essential on trekking days, including ziplock bags for cameras and film.

The drive to the Kibale Forest area is a full day of approximately 7 hours, as written on the operator's day two description. After leaving the Lake Victoria Basin you pass through agricultural countryside, then tea plantations at Kyanjojo and into the Kibale tropical rainforest before checking in at Turaco treetops for the night. ### What happens on the Queen Elizabeth boat cruise? You go on game drives in Queen Elizabeth National Park including a launch trip of about 2 hours on the Kazinga Channel, with some of the largest hippo concentrations in the world and strong birding. Queen Elizabeth National Park holds more than 560 recorded bird species and a record day can reach hundreds of sightings, so bring binoculars and a zoom lens for channel banks and open water. ### What should we expect from gorilla trekking? After briefing at park headquarters you hike to the gorillas where they were seen the night before; trekking can take 1 to 6 hours and reach over 7,500 feet on rough, muddy ground. Once the gorillas are located, many guests describe the encounter as among the most profound natural history experiences in the world; carry waterproofs, water, and fast film or memory cards because rain can arrive at any time. ### How does the Ishasha sector fit into the journey? On the route to Bwindi you drive through Ishasha searching for tree-climbing lions and other game before continuing toward the forest. The afternoon leg crosses the "Switzerland of East Africa" scenery toward Bwindi Impenetrable Forest, a World Heritage Site, with roughly five and a half hours of driving plus the game time in Ishasha. ### What is Lake Mburo like on this safari? Lake Mburo National Park is compact but rich for birding and antelope, and it is one of the easiest places in Uganda to see impala and zebra alongside buffalo, waterbuck, and eland. Game drives use savannah, woodland, valleys, rocky outcrops, and lakeshore loops; a boat cruise on the itinerary adds hippo, crocodile, and waterbird sightings from the water. ### How does the safari finish in Entebbe? An early game drive starts the final safari morning before the road transfer toward Entebbe, taking roughly five hours depending on road and weather. If timing allows you can pause in Kampala for shopping, lunch, or the Mpigi Royal Drum Makers before the drop at Entebbe International Airport for late afternoon or evening flights, or we add another Entebbe night if you prefer. ### Do we visit botanical gardens on arrival? After meet and greet at Entebbe Airport you transfer to Lake Victoria Hotel; if time permits you can visit Entebbe Botanical Gardens for plants and birdlife on day one. Birds there can include pelicans, storks, plantain-eaters, sunbirds, jacanas, ducks, ibis, and many others named on Verdoro's published day-one text. ### Who leads the trip? One English-speaking driver guide stays with you for the road loop in a safari vehicle suited to park tracks and transfers between lodges. The same team keeps gate times, permit days, and lodge check-ins coherent from Entebbe arrival through the Lake Mburo sector and your final run back toward the airport. ## Media - **Primary image URL (resolved in app; may be absolute)**: https://adventuro.com/cdn-cgi/image/width=1200,format=auto,quality=90/https://media.adventuro.com/public/dae165b8-e890-435f-b6f8-2e578da406df/1e1896dc-a711-4392-a1b7-c929f150bb07/original.webp - **Gallery image count**: 6 ## Limitations - Availability, exact session times, and final price may depend on the live booking flow. - This Markdown is generated from the same catalog fields as the public HTML page at the canonical URL above.
