Grand Explorer
Three weeks to feel Uganda become a part of who you are.
Our longest and most complete route — everything in Ultimate Uganda, plus Sipi Falls and the eastern coffee highlands, a second gorilla trek, and enough breathing room throughout that three weeks never once feels rushed.
Day by day
Jinja & the source of the Nile
Ease into Uganda at Jinja, on the Nile's edge — a boat cruise to its source, and white water for those who want it.
Sipi Falls & coffee country
East to the slopes of Mount Elgon for three waterfalls, coffee terraces, and a morning roasting beans over an open fire.
Explore Sipi FallsMurchison Falls
Game drives on the savannah north of the Nile and a boat cruise to the base of the falls.
Explore Murchison FallsKidepo Valley
A flight into Uganda's remote far north-east — open savanna and dramatic mountain backdrops, largely to yourselves.
South to Kibale & Fort Portal
A transfer into crater-lake and chimpanzee-forest country, the Rwenzori's ridgeline visible on a clear day.
Chimp tracking & tea country
A morning chimpanzee trek, an afternoon among the tea estates of western Uganda.
Rwenzori foothills
Two days in the lower slopes of the Rwenzori — Africa's 'Mountains of the Moon' — with time to properly explore the montane forest trails.
Transfer to Bwindi
South into the Bwindi region, with the evening free ahead of two treks.
Two gorilla treks
A gorilla trekking day, then a second the following day with a different family — a rare chance to properly compare two encounters.
