Primates, Wildlife & Water Rafting Uganda Safari

Eight days across Uganda's two best-known parks, built around three wildlife encounters: mountain gorillas, chimpanzees and the big cats of the savannah. It's a private, fully guided trip, so the pace and stops are yours rather than shared with a fixed group.

You'll spend time in Murchison Falls and Queen Elizabeth National Parks, both good ground for spotting lions and leopards alongside Africa's other big game, before heading into forest for gorilla and chimpanzee tracking. The Nile also features, giving the trip a mix of savannah, forest and river landscapes rather than one single setting.

This suits people who don't mind long drives between parks and are happy to put in physical effort for the wildlife sightings that matter most — trekking through forest terrain rather than viewing everything from a vehicle.
