Sample Itinerary

8-Day Ultimate Uganda Gorilla & Wildlife Safari

Pairs gorilla trekking with Murchison Falls — a strong alternative to a Queen Elizabeth routing.

Overview
8 Days / 7 Nights

An alternative routing for travelers who want gorilla trekking paired with the Nile rather than classic savannah game viewing — Bwindi first, then a light-aircraft transfer north to Murchison Falls for the boat cruise, the falls hike and a full Buligi circuit game drive.
