Longer routes add Ishasha lions, canoe on Bunyonyi, and Mburo walks without compressing gorilla briefing windows. 📋 Key Details Duration: 13 days / 12 nights Group size: 4 travellers Meeting point: Entebbe International Airport Highlights: Rhinos, chimps, Kazinga, gorillas, Bunyonyi, Mburo 🗺️ What to Expect Days one to three cover airport welcome, rhino sanctuary trek, and Murchison game drives with Nile launch cruise. Ishasha and Bunyonyi additions are timed around gorilla permits; your guide keeps drive hours visible each evening. Ishasha lion searches and Bunyonyi canoe time add variety between savanna and forest permits. Mburo walking safaris use different shoes than boat shoes on the lake. 📍 Location The safari crosses Albertine Rift valleys, Nile rapids at Murchison, primate forests at Kibale, Queen Elizabeth crater lakes, Bwindi mist forest, volcanic Lake Bunyonyi, and acacia savanna at Mburo. Your route uses sealed and park roads with comfort stops on longer transfers between sectors. Bunyonyi canoe sectors and Mburo lakeshore tracks extend the western loop before Kampala or airport runs. Scenic stops and comfort breaks are built into longer sealed and park-road transfers on this route. ✅ Prerequisites Chimp and gorilla treks require hours of forest walking on steep, uneven paths. Valid passport, visa, and Uganda Wildlife Authority health rules apply; permits are included when secured for your dates. Thirteen days span rhinos, chimps, Queen Elizabeth, Ishasha, Bwindi, Bunyonyi, and Mburo with varied walking.
