6 Day Uganda Safari

The 6-day Uganda safari is a fantastic opportunity to explore the best of Uganda in the shortest time. The trip starts and ends in Kampala or Entebbe International Airport (EBB). Gorilla tracking in Bwindi National Park is the highlight of this safari package.

Enjoy a fantastic game drive in Kasenyi plains of Queen Elizabeth National Park, see the tree-climbing lions in the Ishasha sector, and take a fantastic boat cruise on the Kazinga channel to see lots of birds (Over 600 species), monitor lizards, Elephants, buffaloes, hundreds of hippos, and huge Nile crocodiles basking along the shores.

Proceed to Kibale National Park, a home to 13 primate species, 350 birds, and mammals like forest Elephants and buffalo, among others. Things to do in Kibale Jungle include tracking chimpanzees and other primates, birding, a nature walk through Bigodi swamp, and a guided night walk through the jungle to seek nocturnal creatures.

In Kibale Jungle, when chimpanzees and other jungle residents rest up at dusk, a nighttime shift of rarely seen creatures comes to life. A night walk through the darkened Kibale Jungle uses powerful torches to seek nocturnal creatures such as the Nightjar, Potoo, Serval cat, Bush-baby, cricket and tree hyrax, with its chilling shriek. The night walk takes 90 – 120 minutes.

Pick up from your hotel in Entebbe or Kampala and Transfer to Bwindi National Park, home to the endangered mountain gorillas. Lunch en route at Igongo Cultural Centre, dinner, and overnight at Mahogany Springs Lodge / Buhoma Haven Lodge / Buhoma Community Rest Camp.
