Uganda: 12-Day Western Circuit
Private Journey Through the Parks of the West
Journey Overview
Uganda's western wildlife circuit is one of the most logically structured journeys in Africa. You move north to south through five distinct ecosystems, each one different enough from the last that the progression feels deliberate rather than accumulated. The Nile and its savannah give way to dense primate forest, then open Rift Valley plains, then the oldest and most biodiverse forest on the continent, then — deliberately — a quieter grassland park that lets the journey land properly before you leave.
Key Highlights
- ◆White rhino tracking on foot with professional rangers at Ziwa
- ◆Scenic boat safari and hike to the crest of Murchison Falls
- ◆Chimpanzee tracking in Kibale Forest, the primate capital of Africa
- ◆Boat cruise along Kazinga Channel and tree-climbing lions of Ishasha
- ◆Unforgettable mountain gorilla trekking encounter in Bwindi's Rushaga forest
- ◆Acacia walking safari and peaceful evening boat cruise on Lake Mburo
