It all begins here with an introduction to your guide and with a chance for you to ask any questions. Then it's time to get out there and enjoy your safari. Because you chose Uganda, you have so much to look forward to. 📋 Key Details Duration: 9 days Style: Fully guided safari by road Meeting point: Entebbe Airport 🗺️ What to Expect Entebbe and its international airport provide a wonderful introduction to Uganda. The airport is practically lapped by the waters of Africa's largest lake, while the town's jungle-like setting gives it plenty of atmosphere. Once you're settled in here, you can enjoy some fabulous bird watching, fish eagles shriek overhead and turacos chatter in the forest, or head to any of several waterside restaurants for a relaxed meal or drink. Road days connect rhino tracking and Murchison Falls boating with Kibale forest and swamp time, Queen Elizabeth game drives and channel cruises, travel through the Ishasha sector toward Lake Mburo, then a final equator stop on the run back to Entebbe International Airport. 📍 Location Murchison Falls National Park opens with savanna game drives and a Nile boat cruise, Kibale National Park adds Bigodi swamp walking and chimpanzee trekking, and Queen Elizabeth National Park layers rift scenery with game drives and a Kazinga Channel launch. Lake Mburo National Park finishes the wildlife section with savanna drives and a boat cruise before the sealed road return toward Entebbe International Airport with a stop at the equator at Kayabwe. ✅ Prerequisites Chimpanzee trekking and the Bigodi swamp walk use forest trails that can feel humid and uneven; game drives are mostly seated and launches are low exertion. Carry your passport, visas as required, closed shoes for walking days, hat, sunscreen, insect repellent, and binoculars for savanna and waterbird viewing. ⭐ Why Choose Us We align internal airport transfers, lodge nights, permit days, and park entries on one road loop so you move between Murchison, Kibale, Queen Elizabeth, and Lake Mburo without separate ground vouchers to track. Your English-speaking driver guide stays with the vehicle from Entebbe arrival through the equator stop on the final transfer, keeping daily briefings and gate times coherent. ### Essential information _None._ ### What’s included All internal Airport transfers on this nine-day Uganda route All meals on safari days as set out on the published activity list Fully guided safari with driver guide for the full loop All accommodations named for each night from Entebbe through Lake Mburo All permits and Park entry fees for the activities listed on this tour Transport between Entebbe, Murchison Falls, Kibale, Queen Elizabeth, Lake Mburo, 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 Bring binoculars for savanna and channel birding, neutral safari layers, a rain shell, and closed shoes for forest walking days.

Price includes all internal Airport transfers, all meals, fully guided hosting, all accommodations on the route, all permits and Park entry fees, and transport between the sectors named in the itinerary for this 9-Days big five Budget Uganda safaris product. Choose the group-size option at checkout that matches your party so lodge rooming and vehicle use follow how we run this departure. ### What is not included? Price excludes laundry services, international flights, visa costs, souvenirs, and tips, matching the price excludes list on the published budget tour page. Plan visa and flights outside the package, bring cash or card for personal shopping and tipping, and budget laundry only where lodges offer it as a paid extra. ### How does this route compare to the mid-rate nine-day big five tour? Both tours share the same activity sequence, lodge names, and road loop from Entebbe through Murchison Falls, Kibale, Queen Elizabeth, Lake Mburo, and back with an equator stop. Pricing tiers and rooming at the named properties follow the separate mid-rate and budget tour pages, so name the page you want when you enquire and we hold the matching option before any deposit. ### What happens on day two at Murchison Falls? Transfer to Murchison Falls National Park, then in the afternoon you're bound to experience a genuine natural high when you track white rhinos on foot in Ziwa Rhino and Wildlife Ranch, and hike to the top of the falls inside Murchison Falls National Park. You overnight at Heritage Safari Lodge ahead of the morning game drive and Nile boat cruise on day three. ### How do the Queen Elizabeth days run? Come with us early one morning for a guided game drive; we love showing off the landscapes and wildlife of Queen Elizabeth National Park, and part of the excitement is about never quite knowing which animals are going to appear. You also take a boat cruise on the Kazinga Channel, with both nights at The Bush Lodge in tent rooms. ### How fit should I be? Chimpanzee trekking at Kibale National Park and the Bigodi swamp walk use forest trails that can feel humid, rooty, and uneven even when mileage stays short. Game drives are mostly seated and channel launches are gentle; share knee, ankle, or back limits when you book so guides pace trekking safely. ### What vehicle do you use? Ground transport uses a converted 4x4 safari vehicle suited to park tracks and long road days between western Uganda sectors. One English-speaking driver guide stays with your group for the full loop from Entebbe arrival through the equator stop on day nine. ### How does day nine finish? Transfer to Entebbe International Airport with an equator stop at Kayabwe, as written for the final day of this itinerary. Send outbound flight times when you book so we sequence the road leg from Lake Mburo with comfort breaks and realistic check-in time at Entebbe. ### Are meals included? All meals are included under the price includes list for this nine-day budget itinerary, including lodge dining on full safari days and picnic or restaurant lunches on long transfers. Tell us vegetarian, vegan, halal, or allergy requirements when you book so kitchens and picnic boxes can be planned across moving nights. ### What should I pack? Pack neutral safari layers, hat, sunscreen, insect repellent, sturdy closed shoes for forest walking days, binoculars, and quick-dry clothing when laundry is limited between lodges. Add dry bags for cameras and phones on boat sectors and a reusable bottle for drives between parks. ## 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/fa723653-558f-4ab2-81ed-691a8e320a7d/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.
