12-Day Magical Uganda Gorilla & Wildlife Safari

Twelve days — the sweet spot for a first Uganda trip, enough time for three parks without rushing.

Home / Safaris / 12-Day Magical Uganda Gorilla & Wildlife Safari
Overview
12 Days / 11 Nights

Twelve days is, in our experience, the ideal length for a first Uganda safari — enough time to properly experience Murchison Falls, Queen Elizabeth National Park and Bwindi without the fatigue of a longer circuit, closing with a flexible final day back in Entebbe.

Journey Highlights
  • A full-day private gorilla trek in Bwindi Impenetrable Forest
  • The Murchison Falls Nile boat cruise and falls hike
  • A Kyambura Gorge chimpanzee trek alongside classic Queen Elizabeth game viewing
  • A Batwa cultural walk near Bwindi
  • A flexible closing day — golf, rest, or shopping in Entebbe
