12-Day Magical Uganda Gorilla & Wildlife Safari

Twelve days — the sweet spot for a first Uganda trip, enough time for three parks without rushing.

Overview
12 Days / 11 Nights

Twelve days is, in our experience, the ideal length for a first Uganda safari — enough time to properly experience Murchison Falls, Queen Elizabeth National Park and Bwindi without the fatigue of a longer circuit, closing with a flexible final day back in Entebbe.
