Uganda highlights
7 days, 6 nights. Best price from USD 2,050 per person. A fully planned programme with lodges, drive times and everything you need to prepare.
Itinerary reference WW BGC 7. Prepared by Wander and Wonder Tours.
This is our widest look at Uganda in a week. You begin on the Nile at Murchison Falls, where elephants, giraffes and lions share the savannah, then climb to Kibale Forest to track chimpanzees, and finish with big game and boat safaris in Queen Elizabeth and Lake Mburo.
The route moves from north to south in one loop, so you never repeat a road. Long drives are broken by game viewing and lunch stops, and every park gets at least one full morning or afternoon on the ground.
Times are realistic estimates. Your guide adjusts them for traffic, weather and how the gorillas have moved.
Choose the standard of comfort that suits you. Every tier includes full board during the programme.
Simple, clean and friendly. Shared transport.
A long standing overlanders' camp on the Nile with simple rooms, a restaurant and a lively bar.
Simple, friendly rooms near Kanyanchu.
Simple, friendly rooms near Katunguru, a good base for the plains and the channel.
A community supported camp on a hill with views of the savannah.
Comfortable rooms with private bathrooms. Small shared vehicle.
Comfortable cottages above the Nile with a restaurant and a pool. Full board.
Comfortable cottages at the forest edge. Full board.
Cottages with savannah views and a restaurant. Full board.
Tented rooms with private bathrooms near the park. Full board.

These are our usual choices for each category. If a lodge is full on your dates, we offer another of the same standard and tell you before you pay. Budget tours use the simpler options and are quoted on request.

|---|---|---|---|
| Entebbe or Kampala to Murchison Falls | About 310 km | 5 to 6 hours | Paved to Masindi, then park roads |

Scheduled and charter flights link Entebbe with the Murchison area, Kasese and Mweya. A flight to Murchison on day one and out of Queen Elizabeth on day six would remove about a day of driving. Priced on request.

Spend a full day with a chimpanzee community that is being habituated. It needs a separate UWA permit and is priced on request.
Ride among zebra and impala on a guided horse safari. Lake Mburo is one of the few parks that allows it.
A dawn flight over the savannah, priced on request and best added to an extra night.
Prices are in US dollars, per person, for two adults sharing a room in high season. Your written quote confirms the final figure for your dates.
| Per person | Budget | Midrange | Luxury |
|---|---|---|---|
| From, two sharing | USD 2,050 | USD 2,650 | USD 4,800 |

Your deposit covers your chimpanzee permits and 20 percent of the rest of the package. The balance is due 45 days before arrival. You can pay by card or bank transfer through our secure payment page, by Pesapal, or by MTN Mobile Money.

Uganda can be visited all year. Choose the season that suits your priorities.
| Months | Season | What to expect | Permits and crowds |
|---|---|---|---|
| December to February | Dry | Firm trails, clear volcano and hill views, wildlife gathers near water. | Busy. Book permits as early as you can, ideally four to six months ahead. |
| March to May | Long rains | Green landscapes and muddy trails. Gorillas and chimpanzees are still found. | Quiet. UWA has offered discounted permits in April and May, so ask us. |
| June to September | Driest | The best months for trekking and game viewing, with the clearest skies. | Busiest. Book four to six months ahead. |
| October to November | Short rains | Lush scenery with showers that often fall in the afternoon. | Good value. UWA has offered discounted permits in November, so ask us. |
For this trip. Game viewing in Murchison, Queen Elizabeth and Lake Mburo is best in the dry months, June to September and December to February, when animals gather near water. Chimpanzee tracking works all year, but Kibale is wet and muddy after rain, so bring a rain jacket. Murchison is hotter and drier than the other parks, and some park tracks are slippery after heavy rain.
