Day
One: We pick you up at
your accommodation in Kampala or at the airport for your
African Adventure Safari to Kidepo Valley Park, the most
remote part of Uganda.
Stop
off at Jinja for a visit to the Source of Nile where you can
see where the longest river and the second largest
lake in the world
meet. It is certainly a beautiful and scenic
spot and
the perfect place for a picture opportunity.
Then
it is off back on the road to Mount Elgon National Park and
check-in and Lunch at Lacam Lodge overlooking Sipi Falls.
Afternoon hike to some of the falls and back to the Lodge
for dinner. The Sipi Falls are simply breathtaking and
provide some beautiful photo opportunities for you.
Dinner at the Lodge and a good night sleep in beds where you
can see the falls as you awaken in the morning.
Day Two: Early morning breakfast at Lacam Lodge
overlooking the falls and then we are off to Kidepo Valley
and the Karamajong region of North Eastern Uganda.
This is a region where not people come to, much less drive
to, simply too long of a drive, but those who come are
simply astounded by what they discover even during the
drive.
You
will drive through the Karamajong region. The
Karamajong are pastoralists who cling to their ancient ways,
a culture where cattle is supreme, lots of interesting
things to see and do while you are on your way. Lunch
along the journey.
Arrive in late afternoon and check in to Apoka Lodge...an
amazing place in the remotest part of Uganda. Have a
refreshing drink, take in the stillness of the place with
the distant sounds of wildlife around you. Prepare for
an incredible dinner and enjoy the African Night.
Day
Three: Arise to a fabulous
breakfast and a cup of coffee or tea while you peruse the landscape
and wildlife around you in the remotest corner of Uganda and
yet it is in class and style. The perfect African dream
vacation.
Early Morning Game Drive through the Narus Valley where you will
sight herds of buffaloes, elephants, giraffes, zebras and hopefully
some lions, leopard and the elusive cheetah. Besides that
there are the many birds you might find along the way.
This is a slow drive so that you do not miss anything, stopping
wherever you desire to take pictures of the fabulous wildlife
and birds, fauna and flora along the way. Most likely the
only thing you will find is wildlife, birds and scenery and
no people in this remote part of Uganda. for
Return to Apoka Lodge for a delightful lunch, a dip into the
pool and enjoy luxury comfort in remote Africa.
Lunch
at Apoka Lodge and then it off for an afternoon with Karamajong
people for a cultural tour as to how this proud tribe that has
refused most influences for change. Their love for cattle
is comparable to the better known Maasai of Kenya and Tanzania.
Their ways are unique to them and they are a proud warrior like
people who believe that is their God given right to cattle,
even cattle belonging to others. You will see how they
live, how they prepare food, dance, enjoy life and what their
cattle means to them.
Return
to Apoka Lodge for dinner and a quiet night in the wilderness,
or should one say, a night where the only music are the sounds
of the African night in Kidepo Park.
Day
4: Another breakfast at Apoka Lodge and
off for another exciting game drive across savannah, hills,
small forests, dry river beds and always the rings of
mountains around you. Animals and birds to observe,
plants and trees that will amaze you as they exist in this
semi-arid region of Uganda.
We are
off to Karankorog Hot Springs with lots of wildlife along the
way. No game drive is the same even if you took the same
route twice, there is always something new to seen and found.
The scenery, animals, birds will amaze you and it is best to
keep the camera close at hand to get the best shots along the
way.
Lunch at Apooka Lodge and once again it will delight your
senses.
Late
afternoon game drive through Kidepo Valley, its rugged
beauty, wildlife and birds. This is our last game
drive at Kidepo Valley-enjoy.
Day 5: An Early morning breakfast- and we are off
for Murchison Falls National Park and a continuance of
wildlife and fantastic Ugandan scenery such as Murchison
Falls. We drive into the back of Murchison Falls
instead of the usual entrance as coming from Kampala.
Arrive at Paraa Lodge in time for lunch and check-in.
Your room overlooks the River Nile, there is a lovely
swimming pool and a great view.
Late
afternoon game drive seeing Lions, Elephants, Giraffe, birds
in abundance, warthogs, once in a while a leopard getting
read for a night's hunt...simply fantastic.
Enjoy Dinner at Paraa Lodge overlooking the Nile below.
After dinner sit on your balcony and listen to the sounds of
the African Wilderness.
Day 6: Early morning game drive after or before
breakfast and more wildlife in Uganda. Simply a great
place to be as predators return from a night's hunt.
Lunch at Paraa Lodge and the afternoon boat ride up the Nile
river...you will love it and it is always one of the
highlights of a Murchison Falls Safari. You might even
catch the elusive Shoebill stork along the shore, there are
plenty of hippos and crocodiles for you to see along with
buffalos, herds of elephants and more. You approach
the falls and stop just below them, the sounds and the
sights are awesome.
Dinner at Paraa Lodge and another night in the Wilderness.
Day 7: Early morning breakfast and time to begin
our journey to Kampala. But first it is a stop off at
the top of Murchison Falls and a great view as the Nile
River tumbles downward...simply awesome.
Then
it is off for Budongo Forest for Chimpanzee
Tracking...simply awesome to see our closest cousins up
close. Lunch at Budongo Forest.
Afterwards back to Kampala arriving in the late afternoon or
early evening.
