About this trip
Ten days through Uganda's national parks, built around three signature wildlife encounters: gorillas, chimps and the big cats. It's run as a private trip, so it's just you (and whoever you're travelling with) and your guide, not a fixed group.
You move between forest and savannah — tracking gorillas in Bwindi, chimps in Kibale, then out to Queen Elizabeth and Murchison Falls for open-plains game drives and boat rides. There's cultural time built in too, with the Batwa community at Mgahinga.
Expect a lot of ground covered and a proper mix of terrain — dense forest hikes, water, and classic savannah safari — over the ten days.
