Experience Uganda Gorilla Trekking, Big 5 & Big Cats (Exclusively Private)

Five days combining two of Uganda's stronger wildlife areas, run as a private trip so it's just you (and whoever you're travelling with) and your guide throughout. The pace mixes big game drives with gorilla trekking, so you get both the primate encounter and the wider safari scene.

Queen Elizabeth National Park anchors most of the trip, with a boat cruise on the Kazinga Channel, chimp tracking in Kyambura Gorge and a search for the tree-climbing lions of Ishasha. From there you head to gorilla habituated forest, and afterwards meet a local Batwa community.

The tour starts and ends in Kigali, Rwanda, so you'll cross the border into Uganda as part of the itinerary.
