Kenya · Tanzania · Uganda

Kenya, Tanzania and Uganda each need a different plan.

Kenya can connect mountains, safari and coast. Tanzania changes with the northern circuit, Kilimanjaro and the season. Uganda asks you to plan around forests, primates, the Nile and the Rwenzori. Start with the country, then compare the regions that give it its character.

queen Elizabeth National park

Uganda

Queen Elizabeth National Park

A guide-led safari through crater country, the Kazinga Channel, Kasenyi plains, Kyambura Gorge and Ishasha’s fig-tree country.

Three nights for Mweya/Kasenyi and the Kazinga Channel; four or more if including Ishasha or Kyambura without compressing the route. recommended

Murchison Falls National Park

Uganda

Murchison Falls National Park

The Nile forced through a narrow gorge, broad savannah, river journeys, elephants, giraffes and serious birding in Uganda’s largest national park.

Three nights for game drives, a Nile boat journey and the top of the falls; add time for Budongo chimpanzees or slower specialist birding. recommended

Kidepo Valley National Park

Uganda

Kidepo Valley National Park

Remote valleys, granite ranges, dry-country wildlife and Karamoja’s immense horizons—Uganda’s most expeditionary savannah park.

Three to four nights after arrival. The distance deserves two full game-drive days and time to understand both Narus and Kidepo valleys. recommended

lake Mburo national park

Uganda

Lake Mburo National Park

Zebra, eland, acacia woodland, wetlands and guided walks in a compact park that rewards a slower stop between Kampala and the south-west.

One to two nights as a deliberate small-park experience or a well-paced break between Entebbe and south-western Uganda. recommended

Gorilla trekking Uganda

Uganda

Uganda

Plan Uganda with mountain, primate and safari specialists: Rwenzori trekking, gorilla encounters, Kibale chimpanzees and considered private journeys.

10–18 days for a considered primate, mountain and wildlife journey recommended
