14-Day Ultimate Uganda Safari

This is the itinerary for travellers who want to understand Uganda rather than simply pass through it. The route begins with the Nile, moves through the country’s western wildlife circuit and then spends meaningful time in FAZZI’s home region around Kisoro. Gorillas are complemented by golden monkeys, Lake Mutanda and Lake Bunyonyi before a final Lake Mburo safari. The pacing deliberately includes quieter afternoons so the experience remains human, not exhausting.

Day 1 – Arrival in Entebbe

Meet your FAZZI representative and transfer to your hotel. Rest, recover and review the journey ahead.

Day 2 – Entebbe to Jinja / Source of the Nile

Drive east to Jinja and take a boat excursion around the Source of the Nile. Spend the afternoon at a relaxed riverside pace, with optional adventure activities depending on interest.

Day 3 – Jinja to Murchison Falls

Leave after breakfast and travel north-west toward Murchison Falls. This is a road day, so the itinerary focuses on a comfortable pace and arrival in time for dinner.

Day 4 – Murchison Game Drive & Nile Boat Cruise

Start early across the savannah, then spend the afternoon on the Victoria Nile cruise toward the falls. This day combines classic safari wildlife with one of Uganda’s most dramatic river landscapes.

Day 5 – Murchison to Kibale

Travel toward Fort Portal and Kibale. Arrive in the evening and rest before the next day’s forest trek.

Day 6 – Chimpanzee Tracking in Kibale

Track chimpanzees with trained guides, then keep the afternoon flexible for rest or an optional local wetland/community experience.

Day 7 – Kibale to Queen Elizabeth National Park

Drive into the Rift Valley and take an afternoon wildlife drive in Queen Elizabeth. Settle into your lodge for two nights.

Day 8 – Queen Elizabeth Game Drive & Kazinga Channel

Explore the savannah early, then cruise the Kazinga Channel after lunch. Watch the riverbanks for hippos, elephants, buffaloes, crocodiles and birds.

Day 9 – Ishasha to Bwindi

Drive through the Ishasha sector in search of tree-climbing lions, then continue into Bwindi’s mountain rainforest landscape.

Day 10 – Gorilla Trekking in Bwindi

Trek with UWA guides and trackers to a habituated gorilla family. The day is kept free after the trek so you can rest and enjoy the experience rather than immediately move on.

Day 11 – Bwindi to Kisoro & Lake Mutanda

Travel into FAZZI’s home region around Kisoro. Spend time at Lake Mutanda, enjoying Virunga views and an optional canoe, local farm or community experience. Overnight in Kisoro or at the lake.

Day 12 – Golden Monkey Tracking in Mgahinga / Lake Bunyonyi

Enter Mgahinga for golden monkey tracking through the bamboo forest. After lunch, continue toward Lake Bunyonyi for a restful lakeside evening.

Day 13 – Lake Bunyonyi to Lake Mburo

Enjoy a quiet breakfast before travelling to Lake Mburo. Take a late-afternoon game drive among zebras, impalas and acacia woodland.

Day 14 – Lake Mburo Experience and Return to Entebbe

Take an optional guided walking safari or final wildlife drive before breakfast, then continue to Entebbe/Kampala. Connect to your hotel or onward flight according to the confirmed travel schedule.
