Uganda in its entirety in 12 days
This itinerary is the most comprehensive that Fundis'Africa offers in Uganda. It crosses four distinct areas of the country, each with unique wildlife and landscapes.
Murchison Falls
Murchison Falls is Uganda's largest national park. The White Nile River plunges through a narrow, rocky gorge, just 7 meters wide, before cascading down a 43-meter waterfall. Boat safaris up the Nile to the base of the falls offer the chance to observe elephants, hippos, crocodiles, and exceptional birdlife from the water. The concentration of hippos on this stretch of the Nile is one of the highest in Africa.
Kibale and his chimpanzees
Kibale Forest, with one of the highest chimpanzee densities on the continent, offers one of Uganda's most accessible primate experiences. Habituated groups allow for very close-up observations in their natural environment.
Bwindi and the mountain gorillas
The highlight of this itinerary is the gorilla trek in Bwindi Impenetrable Forest. Fewer than 500 mountain gorillas exist on the planet. Each sighting is a privilege that few travelers have the chance to experience.
Lake Mburo
Lake Mburo, in southwestern Uganda, concludes the circuit with a different atmosphere: zebras, impalas, hippos and lake birdlife in a compact and sparsely visited park.
