12-Day Uganda Grand Safari

This twelve-day safari gives travellers the experiences Uganda is famous for while protecting the quality of the journey between them. There is room for two boat safaris, chimpanzees, gorillas, several game drives and a proper recovery night at Lake Bunyonyi. Lake Mburo then provides a gentle final wildlife chapter before returning to Entebbe.

Day 1 – Arrival in Entebbe

Meet your FAZZI representative at Entebbe International Airport and transfer to your hotel. Rest after the flight and review the journey with your guide.

Day 2 – Entebbe to Murchison Falls

Travel north, with an optional confirmed rhino experience on the route. Continue to Murchison Falls and, if timing is comfortable, visit the dramatic top-of-the-falls viewpoint.

Day 3 – Murchison Game Drive & Nile Boat Cruise

Spend the morning on safari across Murchison’s open plains. In the afternoon, cruise the Victoria Nile toward the falls, watching wildlife along the banks.

Day 4 – Murchison to Kibale

Drive south-west toward Fort Portal and Kibale. This is one of the longer transfer days, so the schedule includes sensible stops and a relaxed evening at the lodge.

Day 5 – Chimpanzee Tracking in Kibale

Track chimpanzees in Kibale with trained guides. After lunch, choose an optional wetland/community walk or rest at the lodge.

Day 6 – Kibale to Queen Elizabeth

Travel into the Rift Valley and enter Queen Elizabeth National Park. Take an evening game drive and settle in for two nights.

Day 7 – Queen Elizabeth Game Drive & Kazinga Channel

Start early with a game drive. After a slow midday break, take the Kazinga Channel boat cruise for hippos, birds, crocodiles and mammals at the shoreline.

Day 8 – Ishasha to Bwindi

Drive south through the Ishasha sector, searching for tree-climbing lions, then continue into Bwindi’s highlands. Arrive before evening and prepare for trekking.

Day 9 – Gorilla Trekking in Bwindi

Enter the forest after the official briefing for one of Africa’s most memorable wildlife experiences. Return to the lodge after the trek and keep the rest of the day free for rest.

Day 10 – Bwindi to Lake Bunyonyi

Enjoy a slower morning and transfer to Lake Bunyonyi. Take an optional canoe/boat ride or simply relax beside the water. This pause is designed to prevent safari fatigue.

Day 11 – Lake Bunyonyi to Lake Mburo

Travel east toward Lake Mburo National Park. Arrive in the afternoon and take a game drive among zebras, impalas and acacia woodland. Enjoy your final night inside or near a national park.

Day 12 – Lake Mburo Walking Safari & Return to Entebbe

Take an optional guided early-morning walking safari or final game drive, then return for breakfast. Continue to Entebbe/Kampala and connect with your hotel or onward flight according to your final schedule.
