The first destination to visit in Uganda is  the famous Murchison Falls National Park, Uganda’s largest protected area, home to more than 73 animal species, including buffaloes, leopards, lions, and elephants, 3/4 of the world’s population of Rothschild giraffes plus a healthy population of herbivores.

The mighty River Nile flows through the park creating a powerful phenomenon at the Kabalega Falls. Enjoy the views of these magnificent falls where Nile forces its way through a gorge in the rocks and tumbles 43m below flowing westwards into Lake Albert. Did you know that Murchison Falls are the most waterfalls in the whole world?

After Murchison Falls National Park, you will visit Kibale National Park; a haven with the largest concentration of chimpanzees.  Uganda has highest number of Chimpanzee in the whole world which is about 4950 chimpanzees and Kibale National Park holds about 1500 chimpanzees.

Queen Elizabeth National Park is the largest biotic area in Africa. It is a habitat for variety of flora and fauna, hippo, tree-climbing lions, elephants, wildebeest, swamp antelope, Uganda-kobs, topis, water bucks, bush bucks, reed bucks, duiker, and many other animal species. It is a home to over 95 species of mammals and over 600 species of birds. The park is also Uganda’s most popular tourist destination.

You will enjoy a boat cruise on Kazinga channel which connects Lake Edward and Lake George.  Some of the best wildlife viewings are done on boat cruise by viewing Squacco herons, hippos, Elephants, Antelopes, and more.

You will visit the Ishasha sector, in the far south of the park, is famous for its tree-climbing lions.

Then you will have Mountain Gorilla trekking in the jungles of Bwindi Impenetrable National Park. Did know that Uganda has the highest percentage of Mountain Gorillas in the world? There are currently less than 1200 mountain gorillas left in the world and almost half of the population resides in Bwindi Impenetrable Forest in Uganda, the Pearl of Africa. Gorilla trekking is one of the top activities while on a safari.

Another interesting destination you will visit is Lake Bunyonyi, this twisting water body dotted with 29 islands will amaze you.

Your last place to visit on this trip is the River Nile, it is commonly known as the longest river in the world with its source starting right from Jinja – Uganda. The “Nile” word is a Greek word that means valley. River Nile starts from the Northeastern part of Africa and flows from the surrounding areas close to the equator line to the outrageous safari desert and then straight to the eastern Mediterranean Sea. The river is estimated to be about 6600 kilometers long and passes through nine countries but is most centered to Uganda and Egypt. Some of these countries include Sudan, Rwanda, Burundi, Kenya, Tanzania and Ethiopia.

Each destination has something unique to offer from wide open plains with untamed wildlife to Africa's Big 5 and stunning vistas.  This is an affordable and fun journey through a truly magnificent region of the world.
