This 5-day safari takes you on a scenic and wildlife-filled journey through southwestern Uganda. From the roaring lions and grazing elephants of Queen Elizabeth National Park, to the misty jungles of Bwindi Impenetrable Forest for gorilla trekking, and finally to the peaceful shores of Lake Bunyonyi, this itinerary delivers Uganda’s best — adventure, nature, and relaxation — all in one incredible experience.
Depart early from Kampala or Entebbe for your drive to Queen Elizabeth National Park, Uganda’s most diverse savannah reserve. Enjoy stunning countryside views and a stop at the Equator for photos and a coffee break.
Arrive in the park in the afternoon, check in at your lodge, and later head for an evening game drive to spot elephants, antelopes, and lions against the sunset. Dinner and overnight at your lodge.
Accommodation Options:
Rise early for a game drive in the Kasenyi plains, where you’ll find herds of Uganda kob, elephants, buffaloes, and perhaps a pride of lions or a leopard on the hunt. Return to your lodge for breakfast and relaxation. In the afternoon, take a boat cruise along the Kazinga Channel, linking Lake George and Lake Edward — a paradise for hippos, crocodiles, elephants, and spectacular birdlife. Dinner and overnight at your lodge.
After breakfast, set off for Bwindi Impenetrable Forest National Park, driving through the scenic Ishasha sector, famous for its tree-climbing lions. You may spot them resting in fig trees along the way. Continue to Bwindi, arriving in the late afternoon. Relax at your lodge surrounded by misty hills and thick rainforest. Dinner and overnight at your lodge.
Accommodation Options:
After an early breakfast, report to the park headquarters for your gorilla trekking briefing. Set off into the forest with your guide in search of a gorilla family. Once found, spend an unforgettable hour observing them feed, groom, and interact in their natural environment.
After this once-in-a-lifetime experience, drive to Lake Bunyonyi, a beautiful crater lake known for its calm waters and terraced hills. Dinner and overnight at your lakeside lodge.
Accommodation Options:
After breakfast, enjoy a peaceful morning by the lake — go for an optional canoe ride or simply relax with views of the islands. Later, begin your drive back to Kampala or Entebbe, stopping for lunch and photos en route. Arrive in the evening, marking the end of your unforgettable Uganda safari adventure.
