Overview

Relaxed, diverse and filled with fabby fun: that’s our, or rather your, 7-day family safari in Uganda.

Everything starts in Jinja, the adrenaline capital of Uganda. On calm horses you and your little ones discover the beautiful surroundings, little villages and some animals along the way. Majestic wildlife like lions, elephants, hippos and crocodiles as well as instagrammable waterfalls are welcoming you in Murchison Falls National Park.

TOUR PLAN

Day 1: Arrival at Entebbe International Airport

You arrive at Entebbe International Airport, your gateway to the diverse beauty of Uganda! This is the country of adventurous mountain gorilla and chimp trekking, stunning wildlife safaris, amazing road trips and wilderness adventures by boat, bike, horse or foot. Experience the warm hospitality of the Ugandan people and be amazed by the cultural encounters with the different indigenous tribes. With us, you’ll experience it all!

Take in the beauty of Uganda’s landscapes and catch a glimpse of Jinja’s highlights such as the famous Lake Victoria. Once in Jinja, you switch from four wheels to four hoofs and discover the outskirts of the adrenaline capital by horse.

From Jinja you make your way to the country’s oldest national park: Murchison Falls. On the way you take a break visiting the rhinos of the Ziwa Rhino Sanctuary and once arrived in Murchison, you can start looking forward to a jeep safari of the unique kind.

In a jeep, with a boat and on foot – this is how you discover the best Murchison Falls National Park has to offer. Get ready to be wowed by African animals, Ugandan landscapes and captivating waterfalls.

Today you drive from Murchison Falls to Kibale National Park. This 6-hour drive leads you past welcoming villages, rainforests, charming tea plantations and mesmerizing crater lakes towards Fort Portal – a friendly and hospitable gateway city to Uganda’s adventures. If the weather is clear, you can see the Rwenzori Mountains with their snow-capped peaks. And then, get ready for Kibale Forest, the primate capital of the world with no less than 13 different species of monkeys!

In the depths of the rainforest you get to observe our closest relatives play, eat and groom each other – an experience which will make everyone’s eyes sparkle! And since the jungle holds many more treasures, you go on the hunt for them afterwards during a swamp walk (not literally!).
