We partner with Rewilding Britain to help protect our natural spaces for future adventures.
All centres are vetted for safety and quality. Your adventure is in good hands with adventuro.
You combine classic savannah game drives with a ranger-led walk where the engine stays off and zebra or giraffe may pass within respectful distance. Five days link Queen Elizabeth National Park's tree-climbing lions and Kazinga Channel with Lake Mburo's acacia plains.
Your guide picks you up in Kampala or Entebbe and drives west, with a stop at the Equator and lunch en route before you reach Queen Elizabeth National Park. Lodge nights give you a balcony or fire-pit moment to swap sightings before the next dawn start.
You'll boat the Kazinga Channel among hippos, elephants and waterbirds, then search Ishasha fig trees for tree-climbing lions when the heat drops. Later you continue to Lake Mburo for a sunset drive on the acacia plains and a ranger-led walking morning among giraffe, zebra and antelope.
The last day heads back to Entebbe or Kampala with lunch en route. You travel in a private pop-up roof 4x4, game drives usually target dawn and dusk, and the Mburo walk typically lasts two to three hours at a steady pace with regular stops.
Queen Elizabeth spans crater lakes, Ishasha fig trees famous for lion prides and the Kazinga Channel where elephants drink shoulder to shoulder with buffalo. The scenery shifts from open savannah to wetland edges within short drives.
Lake Mburo is compact, acacia-dotted and ideal for walking because horizons are open and guides can read animal movement ahead. The return journey to Entebbe threads through rolling farmland with optional souvenir stops.
Walking segments typically last two to three hours at a comfortable pace with an armed ranger. Sturdy boots and neutral khaki or olive clothing are required; bright colours are discouraged.
Game drives use pop-up roof 4x4s with early starts for predator activity. Binoculars and patience help because wildlife timetables are never guaranteed, though private vehicles let you linger when sightings are good.
We stitch together two complementary parks so you see both channel boat life and Mburo walking intimacy without changing operators mid-trip. Lodge choices favour comfort while staying close to park gates.
Your lead guide handles park paperwork, boat timings and walk briefings so you focus on watching behaviour rather than logistics. Pre-travel messages cover packing, tipping culture and realistic drive times between sectors.
We meet you at Entebbe International Airport on arrival or arrange a flexible pick-up from your hotel in Kampala or Entebbe. Share flight numbers and any jet-lag rest needs so the first transfer is timed sensibly.
On the final day we drop you back to Entebbe International Airport or your Kampala hotel unless your itinerary uses another gateway, which we confirm in writing before you travel.
You stay in hand-picked boutique lodges and tented camps such as Elephant Hab Lodge or Twin Lakes Safari Lodge near Queen Elizabeth, then Hyena Hill Lodge on Lake Mburo's rocky edge. Rooms offer en-suite bathrooms, private balconies and standard safari comforts after long drive days.
Evenings include cooked dinners and time around fire pits to review sightings. Lodge staff handle laundry on request where available, while we confirm room configuration for couples, families or solo travellers before travel.
Request your preferred travel window through the booking form and we reply with availability for the Queen Elizabeth safari. Private departures are built around your party size, so sharing rough arrival dates and any fixed leave days helps us shape the route.
Once dates align we send a clear outline of deposits, permit timing and what happens next. Gorilla and cross-border products need early confirmation because permits and lodge space are limited.
Most circuits begin with a meet and greet at Entebbe International Airport or a flexible pick-up from your hotel in Kampala or Entebbe. We coordinate flight times so you are not waiting unnecessarily after a long journey.
Drop-off is normally back to Entebbe or Kampala on the final day unless your itinerary notes a different gateway. Tell us if you need a late flight buffer or an extra hotel night on arrival.
Your fee covers the core logistics described on this listing: private transport in a suitable 4x4, guiding, park fees where stated, meals and accommodation on multi-day routes, and activity permits that the product name promises.
International flights, visas, travel insurance, alcoholic drinks, personal shopping and discretionary tips are not included. We can outline typical visa and insurance expectations when you enquire.
Expect a mix of vehicle time and time on your feet. Walking safaris and treks use moderate pacing with rest stops, while summit days are longer and steadier.
Share any knee, heart or altitude concerns when you book so guides can choose realistic routes and suggest porter support where available. Hydration and broken-in footwear matter more than gym credentials.
Neutral-toned clothing, a sun hat, insect repellent and a reusable water bottle are daily essentials. Sturdy boots with grip matter on forest treks and volcano slopes.
Rain gear travels with you even in dry seasons. For gorilla treks add long sleeves, gardening gloves and a small daypack; for camping or mountain nights add warm layers and a headtorch.
Multi-day packages include the meals listed in the day-by-day plan, usually full board or breakfast and lunch depending on the final travel day.
Lodges and camp chefs can often accommodate common dietary requests when we know in advance. Mention allergies or vegetarian and vegan needs at booking so kitchens can prepare.
Uganda Wildlife Authority rules govern gorilla and chimp encounters, including minimum ages, one hour with habituated gorilla families and briefing times you must respect.
We secure permits on your behalf when they are part of the package and explain briefing points the evening before each trek. Flash photography and touching wildlife are never permitted.
These itineraries are priced as private expeditions for your party rather than joining a large scheduled coach group.
That keeps vehicle space, lodge rooms and guide attention aligned with your pace. If you are a solo traveller we still run the itinerary and confirm any single-room arrangements when quoting.
Comprehensive travel insurance is mandatory for treks and multi-day safaris and should cover medical evacuation where you walk in remote terrain.
Most visitors need a Uganda visa applied online before travel; cross-border itineraries may need an East African tourist visa. We remind you of current entry steps after booking but you remain responsible for passport validity.
Standard terms follow the tiered policy on your confirmation: longer notice generally allows more refund flexibility, while late changes may forfeit deposits.
Permits, park fees, lodges and flights we purchase for you are often non-refundable once issued. We explain which costs are locked at each milestone before you pay the balance.
