WILDLIFE AND NATURE IN KENYA & UGANDA

Touch down in Nairobi and meet your new travel crew. Spend your time exploring local markets, trying Kenyan street food, or discovering the city's unique mix of urban life and wildlife before the adventure kicks off.

Next, it's off to the legendary Masai Mara, home to the Big Five and one of the best wildlife reserves in Africa. Get ready for thrilling game drives where you can spot lions, elephants, rhinos, leopards, and buffaloes. If you’re visiting between July and October, witness the awe-inspiring Great Migration. Immerse yourself in Maasai culture by visiting a local village and learning about their traditions and way of life.

Cross the border into Uganda and head to its capital Kampala for a night. Explore the crowded markets, the historic Kasubi Tombs, or the Uganda Museum. Take a boat ride on Lake Victoria and enjoy the energetic nightlife in the city’s various clubs and bars. Try some typical Ugandan dishes like Rolex (a rolled chapati with eggs) and Luwombo (stewed dishes cooked in banana leaves).

Your second stop in Uganda is beautiful Lake Bunyonyi, one of the country's most scenic lakes. But the real reason you're here? A once-in-a-lifetime mountain gorilla trek in Bwindi Impenetrable National Park. Guided by expert trackers, you'll hike through the rainforest in search of these incredible animals before spending a magical hour observing them in the wild. Trust us, it's a moment you'll never forget.

PS: The gorillas roam freely, so trek lengths vary. Bring comfortable shoes, and don't spend the whole hour behind your camera. Simply being there, face-to-face with a wild gorilla family, is an experience worth soaking in.

From Lake Bunyonyi you’re headed north to Kalinzu Forest Reserve which is part of Queen Elizabeth National Park. Here you’ll join an early morning trek to see the chimpanzees and visit a tea plantation before moving on to Lake Mburo, a haven for wildlife lovers. The park is home to zebras, giraffes, hippos, and various antelope species. Take a guided walking safari, a boat trip on Lake Mburo, or a night game drive to see the park’s nocturnal animals.

After your unforgettable encounters with gorillas in the lush forests of Lake Bunyonyi and chimpanzees in the wilds of Lake Mburo National Park, journey to Jinja, Uganda's adventure capital. Nestled along the banks of the White Nile River, Jinja offers a thrilling array of outdoor activities. Explore on your own or in the group, that’s up to you! Try rafting, mountain biking or do something more chill like checking out the markets and maybe spotting some monkeys.

The group tour will end in Nairobi, and you will fly back home from there.
