Start your journey with an early morning pick-up from your hotel in Entebbe and travel north to Ziwa Rhino Sanctuary for guided rhino tracking. Continue to Murchison Falls National Park and stop at the top of the falls where the Nile crashes through a narrow gorge. Enjoy scenic views before heading to your lodge for relaxation and dinner.
Accommodation: Labong Safari Lodge or similar.
After breakfast, you will embark on your first early morning game drive. Despite the early start, morning game drives are incredibly rewarding, as animals are often most active during this time. Lake Nakuru is home to a variety of wildlife, including flamingos, black and white rhinos,
lions, leopards, buffalo, and the endangered Rothschild's giraffe. The southern end of the lake offers the best opportunities for observing these animals.
Following the game drive, you will exit the park with picnic lunch boxes to enjoy on your way to the Masai Mara National Reserve. Your journey will take you through the Rift Valley floor, and upon arrival at the Mara, you will be welcomed by Maasai warriors who will guide you on a cultural walking safari. This includes a visit to a Maasai village, where you can learn more about a community that has coexisted with Mara wildlife for centuries. You will return at sunset to your lodge for dinner and overnight stay.
After breakfast, embark on a scenic drive south toward Kibale National Park, passing tea plantations, crater lakes, and scenic valleys. This park is home to the greatest variety of primates in Africa. Arrive and relax at your forest lodge.
Accommodation: Chimpanzee Forest Lodge or similar.
