Murchison, Queen Elizabeth, and Bwindi days are sequenced so boat cruises, drives, and treks stay practical from your lodges. 📋 Key Details Duration: 7 days / 6 nights Group size: 6 travellers Meeting point: Entebbe International Airport Highlights: Murchison Falls, Queen boat cruise, Bwindi gorillas, Batwa trail 🗺️ What to Expect Days one and two cover Murchison with falls hike, game drive, and boat cruise at Fort Murchison. Boat, drive, and trek days rotate through the week; your guide aligns Uganda Wildlife Authority slots with lodge location. Murchison boat cruises and Queen Elizabeth channel trips book fixed slots; your guide works backward from those times each evening. Gorilla and chimp days are the steepest on foot; walking poles help some guests. 📍 Location Murchison Falls National Park combines waterfall viewpoints with Nile wildlife; Queen Elizabeth spans crater lakes and savanna plains toward the Rwenzori foothills. Bwindi protects mountain gorillas in misty rainforest on the southwestern edge of the circuit. Fort Portal, Queen Elizabeth, and Bwindi sectors use park and district roads with crater and escarpment views. Scenic stops and comfort breaks are built into longer sealed and park-road transfers on this route. ✅ Prerequisites Gorilla trekking requires forest walking that can last several hours on steep, muddy paths; game drives are mostly seated. You must meet Uganda Wildlife Authority age and health rules for gorilla visits; permits are included when secured for your dates. Murchison, Queen Elizabeth, and Bwindi sectors combine boat cruises, game drives, and steep forest treks. Permits run to tight schedules; being ready for early starts and uneven footing helps the week flow. ⭐ Why Choose Us Locally based driver-guides lead safaris across Uganda and neighbouring East Africa, combining safe 4x4 travel with strong field knowledge of wildlife, parks, and local communities.

Fort Murchison hosts nights one and two, The Bush Lodge bandas nights three and four, and Gorilla Valley Lodge nights five and six. Comparable tourist lodges are substituted if a named property is full. Properties match the park sector for that night so drive times and activity starts stay practical. Cultural visits and community walks use modest dress; your host explains local customs beforehand. ### How strenuous is gorilla trekking? Bwindi treks can range from under an hour to several hours on steep, muddy forest paths depending on where gorillas slept the previous night. A reasonable level of fitness and willingness to walk off-trail are important. Trekking follows park authority rules for briefing time, group size, and time with the animals. Gorilla and chimp briefings cover voice levels, distance rules, and time limits with the animals. ### Where do we meet? Day one starts with airport pickup at Entebbe International Airport when you arrive for the safari. Day seven returns you to Entebbe International Airport for departure. Murchison–Queen–Bwindi loops begin from Entebbe; your host tracks traffic on Masindi and Fort Portal roads. Gorilla and chimp briefings cover voice levels, distance rules, and time limits with the animals. ### What is the Batwa trail? After gorilla trekking, day six includes Batwa forest cultural experiences linked to the indigenous forest communities around Bwindi. Your guide coordinates timing with the trekking schedule. Guides carry basic first-aid kits; bring personal medication in your day pack on treks. Gorilla and chimp briefings cover voice levels, distance rules, and time limits with the animals. ### What wildlife might we see? Murchison and Queen Elizabeth offer elephant, buffalo, hippo, crocodile, giraffe, antelope, and lion with leopard possible on drives. Bwindi focuses on gorillas and forest birds rather than savanna big game. Sightings vary by season and day; guides use recent patterns in each park you visit. Savanna drives use roof hatches when safe; guides position the vehicle for light and wind direction. ### What should I pack? Neutral safari clothing, rain gear, and sturdy boots matter for Bwindi; lighter layers work on savanna drives. Gardening-style gloves can help on gorilla trek handholds in the forest. A hat, sunscreen, and insect repellent help on open vehicles, forest walks, and lodge evenings. Lake days include sun exposure on water; hats and sunscreen are worthwhile even on cloudy mornings. ### Do I need a visa for this safari? Most visitors need a visa for Uganda, Rwanda, or Zambia depending on your route. Check current requirements for your passport nationality before you travel. Entry rules depend on your passport; hold the correct visa and travel documents before you fly. Park rangers and guides set safe distances and explain animal behaviour during the activity. ### Are park and trekking permits included?

Comfort stops and lodge check-ins are built into long transfer days on this route. Trekking follows park authority rules for briefing time, group size, and time with the animals.

Your guide outlines typical walking duration and terrain at the briefing before active days. Sturdy footwear and a light day pack help on uneven paths and long transfer days. ### Where do we meet on day one?
