Designed for travelers who value both adventure and comfort, this itinerary takes you deep into Uganda’s most iconic parks while saving time on long road transfers.
Your safari begins in Entebbe, where you will be welcomed and transferred to a boutique hotel such as Hotel No.5. The evening is yours to relax after your flight as you prepare for the days ahead.
From Entebbe, you take a scenic flight to Kasese Airstrip and continue into Kibale National Park, home to the highest concentration of primates in Africa. Here, you will track wild chimpanzees in the lush rainforest before retiring to the elegant Ndali Lodge or Kyaninga Lodge, both offering breathtaking views and comfort.
Next, you fly into Queen Elizabeth National Park, famous for its diverse wildlife and stunning landscapes. A thrilling game drive introduces you to elephants, buffalo, lions, and the elusive leopard. Later, you will enjoy a private boat cruise along the Kazinga Channel, where hippos and crocodiles thrive alongside colorful birdlife. Your night is spent at Kyambura Gorge Lodge or Mweya Safari Lodge, each offering a luxurious retreat.
The adventure continues with a short flight into the remote Ishasha sector, known for its unique tree-climbing lions. Game drives in this quiet part of the park offer intimate wildlife encounters before you unwind at Ishasha Wilderness Camp, a luxury tented camp that immerses you in the wild without compromising on comfort.
From Ishasha, you board another flight to Bwindi Impenetrable Forest, a UNESCO World Heritage Site and sanctuary for the endangered mountain gorilla. Staying at Bwindi Lodge or the exclusive Clouds Mountain Gorilla Lodge, you will prepare for the ultimate highlight of your safari.
An early morning trek with expert guides leads you deep into the rainforest, where you will spend an unforgettable hour in the company of a gorilla family.

Enjoy a game drive where you may encounter elephants, buffalo, lions, and perhaps a leopard resting in the shade. In the afternoon, board a private boat for a cruise along the Kazinga Channel. Here, hippos crowd the riverbanks, crocodiles bask in the sun, and a dazzling array of birds soar overhead.
Spend the night at Kyambura Gorge Lodge or Mweya Safari Lodge, both offering a perfect blend of luxury and wilderness.
After breakfast, fly into the remote Ishasha sector of Queen Elizabeth National Park. This area is famous for its rare tree-climbing lions, which often rest high in fig trees during the heat of the day.
Game drives in Ishasha offer excellent chances to see these lions, as well as herds of elephants and Uganda kob. The park here is quieter, giving you an exclusive safari experience away from the crowds.
In the evening, return to Ishasha Wilderness Camp. This luxury tented camp provides an authentic yet comfortable stay in the heart of the wilderness.
Today, take a short flight to Kihihi Airstrip and drive to Bwindi Impenetrable Forest, a UNESCO World Heritage Site. This ancient rainforest is one of the last strongholds of the endangered mountain gorilla.
Check into your luxury lodge, such as Bwindi Lodge or Clouds Mountain Gorilla Lodge. In the afternoon, you may take a guided walk in the forest, visit a nearby community, or simply relax as you prepare for your gorilla trekking adventure.
This is the highlight of your safari. After an early breakfast, meet your ranger guides and set out on a gorilla trek. The walk may take several hours depending on the gorillas’ movements, but the reward is life-changing.
Once you find the gorilla family, you will spend an hour observing them in their natural habitat. Watch as the silverback leads, the youngsters play, and the mothers care for their infants. This extraordinary encounter is often described as one of the most moving wildlife experiences on earth.
Return to your lodge for well-earned rest. Later, enjoy sundowners overlooking the forest or indulge in a massage to complete your day.
