Falls, the Nile forces its way through a gap in the rocks, only 7 m.
Murchison Falls became one of Uganda’s first national parks in 1952

Safari fact : In Africa , the big five game animals are the lion , African Elephant

ancient game hunters and refers to the five most difficult animals in Africa to

Lake Albert is located on the border between Uganda and the Democratic
Republic of the Congo. It is the northernmost of the chain of lakes in
the Albertine Rift, the western branch of the East African Rift.
Amabere Ga Nyina Mwiru is a strong cultural heritage site among the Batooro
the main tribe in this area. The name Amabere Ga Nyina Mwiru interprets as
“the breasts of Nyinamwiru”. There is a legend that has it that, Nyinamwiru’s
breasts were cut off by his father King Bukuku, and thrown in the caves.
It is also possible to take a break from 4 wheels and explore the region by
bicycle + some short hikes on Rwenzori mountains while enjoying crater lakes
and various views plus sceneries .

Queen Elizabeth National Park spans the equator line; monuments on either side of the road marking the exact spot where it crosses latitude 00.
The park was founded in 1952 as Kazinga National Park and renamed two years

situated along the Democratic Republic of the Congo border next to the Virunga
National Park and on the edge of the Albertine Rift

such as hornbills and turacos. Here we have lots of lodges options depending on the location we will track
gorillas!!!
Accommodation – Ruhondeza Lodge, Broadbill camp, Gorilla Valley Lodge or Travellers rest Lodge.

Trekking to see mountain gorillas in Uganda can be physically demanding.
Being in decent shape and prepared for what’s involved will greatly increase
your chances of success.

1.1 Bwindi – Largest forest and national Park for gorillas! It’s also the most well
known on internet and also in guide books!
It’s super beautiful impenetrable forest with over 20 gorilla family!
PLEASE SHARE your body fitness stage so we can advice according to
how difficult the trail is.

2.2 Kisoro ( Mgahinga Gorilla National Park)
The park takes its name from “Gahinga” – the local word for the piles of
volcanic stones cleared from farmland at the foot of the volcanoes.
Size: 33.7km 2 , making it Uganda’s smallest National Park.
Mgahinga has one habituated transboundary gorilla group Mgahinga Gorilla National Park is located in the Virunga Mountains and
encompasses three inactive volcanoes, namely Mount Muhabura, Mount
Gahinga, and Mount Sabyinyo.

The Nyakagezi gorilla family is the only fully habituated gorilla group in Mgahinga Gorilla National Park. Given that it is the only habituated gorilla
family, it offers visitors a great opportunity to track the rare mountain gorillas in the wild. The Nyakagezi family is composed of 9 members; 4
silver backs, 2 infants, 2Adults females 1 juvenile. The dominant silverback is Mark who took over leadership from his father Bugingo.
I like this group because if you are lucky you can see GOLDEN
MONKEYS , IT’S THE ONLY PLACE IN THE WORLD where GOLD
meets SILVER!!!!!!
Kisoro is in the far south west of Uganda and it borders Rwanda and Congo!
Have a lazy afternoon/ evening and chill after gorilla tracking!
The trail is slightly easier than most of the Bwindi places and can be favorable for old and those that have less time plus those prefer easy.

Lake Bunyonyi ("Place of many little birds") is in south-western Uganda between Kisoro and  Kabale , close to the border with Rwanda. the second-deepest lake in Africa!
The lake was formed about 18,000 years ago by a volcanic eruption
blocking a valley in the Ruchiga mountains near the present day village of Muko on the north-west tip of the lake.
Drive to lake Bunyonyi and take a scenic lake drive before having lunch a
the place with THE BEST view in the area!
We will stay there and rest after a small guided walk around the lake.

Additional activities include visiting some island on the lake
Accommodation – The sharp island gorilla lodge ( luxury) but we can also
find another options!

Lake Mburo National Park is a compact gem, located conveniently close to the highway that connects Kampala to the parks of western Uganda. It is the
smallest of Uganda’s savannah national parks and underlain by ancient Precambrian metamorphic rocks which date back more than 500 million
years. It’s a home to 350 bird species as well as zebras, impalas, elands,buffalos, oribi, Defassa waterbuck, leopard, hippo, hyena, topi and
reedbuck.

There is also an option of going to Ssese islands to relax for a day or two then back to Entebbe with a ferry. The islands occupy the northwestern
corner of Lake Nalubaale, the second-largest freshwater lake in the world.

There is also an option of going from lake Mburo to Jinja and do the rafting.

days if you choose to leave out some activities but it can also increase to 17-
18 Days if you want more a relaxing trip!!
