A 10 Day Uganda Wildlife Safari in Uganda-
the Pearl of Africa
Visit Murchison Falls Park, Queen Elizabeth Park, Kibale
Forest, Bwindi Impenetrable Forest, Lake Mburo National Park
Day One:
We depart Kampala early in the
morning and we provide bottled water along the
journey. We stop off at the top of the falls for lunch
and enjoy our packed lunch taking a look at this most
awesome sight of the Nile tumbling down 43 meters through a
7 meter gorge, the ground shaking because of the sheer power
of the water.
We arrive for lunch at
either Paraa Lodge (upscale) or Red Chilli (Budget).
After lunch relax and take in the sun either near the pool
in Paraa or overlooking the Nile from the restaurant at Red
Chilli. If you are staying at Paraa Lodge you will be
crossing the Nile to reach your lodging destination by
ferry. If at Red Chilli you will cross the Nile for your
evening game drive.
Other Choice of lodging are available
for Murchison Falls National Park.
This is not a hurried
event, but you slowly drive along the lake into the savanna
and usually it will be about 2 1/2 to 3 hours. Sights,
sounds, and of course a most wonderful sunset as you return
to your lodging facility for a delightful dinner. At
Paraa Lodge you will be sitting on the veranda overlooking
the Nile, at Red Chilli you can see the Nile below as you
eat your dinner.
Enjoy the moment as
you reflect on your day, the quiet of the wilderness only
broken by an occasional sound of an animal in the distance.
Day Two:
An early breakfast and then off to
a second game drive. Guiding you to where the animals
are so that you have the best opportunity for viewing and
picture taking. There is nothing like seeing some lion
cubs with their mother, Giraffes grazing and Elephants
moving across the savanna. You return to the lodging
facility for rest and lunch.
After lunch it is one of the
highlights of your Murchison Falls National Park Safari, the
boat launch trip on the Nile. You will move up toward
Murchison Falls viewing crocodiles, an abundance of hippos,
elephants, buffaloes, antelopes, lots of birds including the
fish eagle, storks and so much more. The boat moves gently
up the river, it is best to take some water along
since it can get warm.
The Falls are an
awesome display of the power of nature. The river is
50 meters above the falls, moves down through a 7 meter
gorge and falls down 43 meters, the sound is deafening and
the sight makes one realize how powerful nature can be.
Nearby is a bank
filled with Nile crocodiles basking in the afternoon sun,
just down from there you can see a group of hippos
frolicking in the water of the Nile.
The journey down river
slowly begins and more opportunity for viewing animals
before you return to your lodging for dinner and an evening
of rest and relaxations .

Day 3: An
early breakfast at Paraa Lodge or Red Chilli Camp and we
move toward Kibale Forest through beautiful Ugandan
countryside. We stop for lunch along the way and reach
Fort Portal in the late afternoon where we check into our

Primate Lodge.

Lodging Choices.
That evening we will
take a nocturnal walk in Kibale forest that is with
spotlights and most rewarding seeing the nocturnal animals

We have dinner and
rest and get ready for a big day tomorrow.
Day 4:
It's breakfast time and a hardy one it is and off to Kibali
Forest National Park for Chimpanzee tracking (trekking)

Uganda and you will surely have a successful morning.

depart for the Mweya Peninsula of Queen Elizabeth National
Park where we arrive in the late afternoon for check in at
Mweya Lodge or the budget hostel. Dinner and a well
deserved rest.

- Chimpanzee tracking (trekking) - Bat Cave & Night Game
Drive: Another great breakfast and for those staying
at Mweya Lodge, we overlook the Kazinga channel as the sun
rises over Queen Elizabeth Park. This morning it is
off to Kyambura Gorge for Chimpanzee tracking (trekking).
This is a relative easy walk guided by a Uganda Wildlife
Authority Ranger who will guide you to the place where the
chimps are. They move nightly so it takes the skills
of an experienced ranger to guide you to the chimpanzees.
Afterwards we have our packed lunch and we are off to the
Maramagambo Forest area for the bat cave where we usually
find a large python resting inside of it. The cave
with its thousands of bats is a most awesome experience for
most visitors and surely you will find it the same.
After an early dinner we proceed for a new feature at Queen
Elizabeth, the nocturnal game drive where you will see lots
of animals that you do not normally find during
daytime hours. This will be quite thrilling for you
and even if you do not get any pictures, the experience
alone is worth it.
Day 7 - we move to Bwindi
Impenetrable Forest for Mountain Gorilla tracking (trekking)
: A nice breakfast and we slowly move toward Bwindi and
hopefully we will see some tree climbing lions along the way
in the Ishasha area of the park. We reach our tented camp or
budget lodging in time for lunch and some rest. In the
afternoon we take a forest walk the location depending on
where we have the permits for the gorillas. Lots of
opportunities for other mammals and birds to be seen as we
are guided by a Uganda Wildlife Authority Ranger.
We
return to the lodging facility for a break, dinner and sleep
for the night
Day 8 -
Bwindi Impenetrable Forest National
Park Gorilla: After an early breakfast it is off
for the morning
briefing before embarking on one of the most awesome
experiences - gorilla tracking
at Bwindi Forest. The gorilla tracking (trekking) (trekking)
at Bwindi can last from a few hours to the whole day.
The gorillas move to a new location daily and never stay in
the same place, twice. There are no words to describe what
you will encounter on your Gorilla tracking (trekking)
experience. Simply a powerful experience to see these
animals up close within 5 meters of your party of 8.
Children under 15 are not permitted. The walk alone is
worth it, the kind of forest you will encounter, the ridges
and valleys, the streams that flow through
it and of course you will encounter other wildlife besides
the Mountain Gorillas.
Bwindi
Forest Information

cultural insights into the local Batwa culture.
DAY 9:
The Gorilla tracking (trekking) Safari
ends and we shift to Lake Mburo: It is early
breakfast and off to Lake Mburo National Park.
