Day 1  – Ziwa Rhino and Wildlife Ranch

The moment you’ve been waiting for has finally arrived: this is when your Ugandan safari begins. After a few brief formalities and an introduction to your guide, we’ll start this journey together and begin to discover all of the amazing animals Uganda has to offer.

The flagship for a rhino reintroduction project organized by Rhino Fund Uganda and the Uganda Wildlife Authority, Ziwa Rhino and Wildlife Ranch is perfectly positioned for a stopover between Kampala and northern Uganda. More than 40 white rhinos now roam freely within the 7,000ha sanctuary, which is also home to other large mammals such as waterbuck, bushbuck, and warthog.

When you stay at Red Chilli Rest Camp, you’re in a good location to enjoy this leg of your trip.

Day 2 – Murchison Falls National Park

Named after an explosive 43m-high waterfall created where the Nile erupts through a crack in the Rift Valley escarpment, Murchison Falls National Park is also one of East Africa’s most rewarding safari destinations. Here you’ll find golden-maned lions stalking the plains, large herds of Rothschild’s giraffe striding through palm-studded grassland, and hippos basking in the river shallows while elephants and buffaloes come to drink. A highlight of the park’s prolific aquatic birdlife is the swamp-dwelling shoebills that are regularly seen around the delta formed by the Nile as it flows into Lake Albert.

Put on some warm clothes and enjoy an early morning game drive. This is the perfect time to experience the wildlife and the landscapes they inhabit. The light is soft and warm – perfect for photography – and most animals are out and about, and active. If you’re not an early riser, you’ll definitely want to make an exception here.

Day 3 & 4  – Queen Elizabeth National Park

Time to get into safari mode as you enter Queen Elizabeth National Park, a savannah-dominated reserve known for its conspicuous populations of lion, elephant, buffalo and other iconic African creatures. There are also hippos on the pretty Kazinga Channel. This flat, narrow waterway connects Lake Edward and Lake George, within eyeshot of the snowcapped Rwenzori Mountains, as well as rainforests alive with chimps and monkeys, and crater lakes tinged pink by flocks of flamingos. Indeed, this is possibly the most biodiverse national park anywhere in East Africa.

Imagine being out in the soft, early morning light, wrapped in a blanket, just as the animals emerge from their night’s rest or from the shadows of their nighttime adventures. The world feels fresh and new on an early morning game drive, the sun has yet to beat down upon the earth, and it may end up being your favorite time to be out on safari.

Day 5  – Lake Mburo National Park

Although it isn’t a classic Big Five destination (elephants and rhinos are absent, and lions and leopards are scarce), Lake Mburo National Park hosts a varied selection of African wildlife, including several iconic species not found elsewhere in western Uganda. The park’s acacia-swathed slopes and valleys are home to giraffe, zebra, buffalo, impala, waterbuck, bushbuck, and various other grazers and browsers. Hippos, crocodiles, and aquatic birds thrive in an extensive network of lakes and other wetlands.
