The four-day Uganda tour itinerary takes you to Queen Elizabeth National Park, which accommodates various wildlife, making it Uganda’s biodiverse haven. Some of the activities at the park include game drives and a boat cruise on the Kazinga channel. The second leg of the safari takes you to Kibale forest, home to the chimpanzees and many bird species residing in the Bigodi wetlands.
Day 1: Kampala- Queen Elizabeth National Park
You will be picked up early in the morning by our guide before embarking on the journey to Queen Elizabeth National Park. Upon reaching the park headquarters, you will check into the lodge for some relaxation and lunch. After lunch, you will be taken to the Kazinga Channel for a launch cruise. The 2-hour cruise has viewing of the Hippos, Buffaloes, and Elephants along the shoreline, quenching their thirst from the burning sun, and excellent bird viewing opportunities down the Channel, as well as the highlights. Then return to relax, dine, and overnight at the lodge.
Day 2: Game Drive and Launch Cruise in Queen Elizabeth National Park
Early morning cup of coffee and depart at 6:30 am for an early morning Game drive on the Kasenyi Track with high expectations to see lions, leopards, Uganda kob, warthog, giant forest hog, elephants, hippos from grazing going back to water, and many water, grassland, and forest bird species in their natural wild environments. The drive often takes 2-4 hours, depending on the weather, luck, and the success of the game viewing. You will then return to the lodge, awaiting lunch. After lunch, you will go for a long walk in the Maramagambo Forest, which harbors many bird species, forest antelope, monkeys, a bat cave, and the ‘cormorant house’, a large tree in the forest that has been turned white by the birds that roost there at night
Day 3: Transfer to Kibale Forest National Park

And by 8 am, you will begin the exciting half-day search for chimpanzees and other primates, including L’hoests, Red-tailed colobus, Blues, and black and white colobus and grey-cheeked mangabey swinging through the dense forest, and Birds, butterflies, and many small insects take you towards noon hours. The guide will provide detailed explanations not only of primates but also of all the forest’s fauna and flora, ensuring that your walk is both informative and enjoyable. This walk is excellent for viewing bird life and primates in close quarters. After the Chimpanzee tracking, you will check in at the lodge for lunch. After lunch, you will be taken to Bigodi swamp for an entertaining nature walk where you interact with some members of the local community neighbouring Kibale National Park.
