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. 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. 📋 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 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. As a result, it has one of the highest biodiversity ratings of any game reserve in the world, including a total of 95 recorded mammal species and more than 610 species of birds. We drive to Mbarara passing through the "Switzerland of East Africa" area and eventually into the Ankole cattle country around Mbarara. These cattle are incredible with horns larger than one can imagine. 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 brea… ### 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 the published day-by-day plan Fully guided safari with driver guide for the full loop All accommodations named in the itinerary from Entebbe 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 gorilla 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 day two of this itinerary. 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? Today, we go on game drives in Queen Elizabeth National Park including a launch trip of about 2 hours on the Kazinga Channel. You'll view some of the largest concentrations of hippos in the world (reported to be about 30,000) and other game, as well as excellent birding. Queen Elizabeth National Park is one of the best birding parks in Africa, with more than 560 recorded species and a record of 296 bird species seen in a 24-hour period, 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 into the forest where the gorillas were seen the night before and track from that point; trekking can take from 1 to 6 hours and climb to altitudes in excess of 7,500 feet on rough, muddy ground. Once the gorillas are located, all fatigue is forgotten; picnic lunches are provided, and it is important to take plenty of water, cameras, fast-speed films, and waterproof layers because rain can arrive at any time. ### How does the Ishasha sector fit into the journey? Today we drive through the park to the Ishasha region; during the game drive, we search for the tree-climbing lions (75% success rate) and other game before driving toward Bwindi in the afternoon. The afternoon leg crosses scenery known as the "Switzerland of East Africa" toward Bwindi Impenetrable Forest, a World Heritage Site, with roughly five and a half hours of driving excluding the game drives. ### What is Lake Mburo like on this safari? 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, with buffalo, waterbuck, and eland among the variety of wildlife. Game drives use savannah, acacia woodlands, grassy valleys, rocky outcrops, swamps, lakes, and rolling hills, and a boat cruise adds views from the water. ### How does the safari finish in Entebbe? We have an early morning game drive before heading back to Entebbe; the drive back takes approximately 5 hours, depending on the road and weather. If time permits, it is possible to stop in Kampala for shopping and lunch and to visit the Mpigi Royal Drum Makers before the transfer to Entebbe International Airport for a late afternoon or evening flight, or we add another overnight stay in Entebbe. ### Do we visit botanical gardens on arrival?

The same team keeps gate times, permit days, and lodge check-ins coherent from 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/c16d2f44-5d9e-4292-a077-98df729c8b4a/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.
