Ultimate Uganda
The full symphony: from the Rwenzori to Kidepo's savannas.
Two weeks that reach further than our standard routes — north to the remote, little-visited savanna of Kidepo Valley, and up into the foothills of the Rwenzori for a taste of Africa's most improbable mountain range, alongside the primate and Nile highlights of the classic route.
Day by day
Jinja & the source of the Nile
Arrive at Entebbe and head east to Jinja, where the Nile begins its journey — a gentle boat cruise to the source, or white water for those who want it.
Murchison Falls
North to Murchison Falls for game drives on the savannah and a boat cruise to the base of the falls.
Explore Murchison FallsKidepo Valley
A flight into Uganda's far north-east, one of the continent's most remote parks — open savanna, dramatic mountain backdrops, and a fraction of the visitors of anywhere else on this trip.
South to Kibale & Fort Portal
A transfer south into the Fort Portal crater region, chimpanzee-forest country, with the Rwenzori's snow-capped ridgeline visible on a clear day.
Chimp tracking & tea country
A morning chimpanzee trek followed by an afternoon among the rolling tea estates that define this part of western Uganda.
Rwenzori foothills
A day hike into the lower slopes of the Rwenzori range — Africa's 'Mountains of the Moon' — through montane forest without committing to a full multi-day glacier expedition.
Transfer to Bwindi
South again, into the Bwindi region, with the evening free ahead of tomorrow's trek.
Gorilla trekking day
A full day tracking a habituated gorilla family through Bwindi's forest.
