11 Days Uganda Safari – SAFARI DETAIL
Day 1: Transfer to Murchison Falls NP, visit Ziwa Rhino Sanctuary en route
Welcome to East Africa! Your fantastic 11 days Uganda safari gorilla trekking & wildlife tour will kick off with breakfast at your hotel at 6:00 am after which you will meet our Prime safari driver-guide for a briefing about the day’s journey to Murchison Falls National Park, which we will be visiting first. From a naturalist’s perspective, Murchison Falls National Park really is a paradise.
After the briefing, you will set off for the 7-8 hours long covering 310km but time will fly by; it is just so beautiful here! We are going to enjoy a stop at the Ziwa Rhino Sanctuary, the only place in Uganda to see the near-threatened Southern White Rhinoceros (Ceratotherium simum) in the wild. The experience of seeing a rhino on foot a few meters away from you is an experience you will never forget and hence we will start our mammal and bird trip lists with a bang today!
This super exciting start to our safari will be followed by lunch at nearby Kabalega dinners, and if you want to try some of the local Ugandan cuisines this is your first real chance. After lunch you make your way to Murchison falls where you will engage in a miniature game drive as you head to your lodge.
After freshening up (and maybe enjoying a dip in the pool) we will get together for a sumptuous three-course dinner and a good night’s rest under the stars in Africa.

11 Days Uganda Safari – GORILLA TREKKING TIPS
[icon name=”thumbs-up” class=”” unprefixed_class=””] Mountain gorillas sometimes nest far from the start of your gorilla trek, you should pace yourself and drink plenty of water.
[icon name=”thumbs-up” class=”” unprefixed_class=””] Eating, drinking and smoking near the gorillas is forbidden – designated time and place will be communicated.
[icon name=”thumbs-up” class=”” unprefixed_class=””] Bwindi being a tropical forest, it can rain anytime so we encourage you to carry a rain poncho
[icon name=”thumbs-up” class=”” unprefixed_class=””] Waterproof walking shoes or hiking boots are essential.
[icon name=”thumbs-up” class=”” unprefixed_class=””] Gardening gloves for protection against stinging plants
[icon name=”thumbs-up” class=”” unprefixed_class=””] Long trousers and long sleeved sweaters or shirts while in the forest to avoid insect stings.
[icon name=”thumbs-up” class=”” unprefixed_class=””] Photography is permitted, although you must not use flash
[icon name=”thumbs-up” class=”” unprefixed_class=””] Porters are available to help you carry your day pack for a small charge
[icon name=”thumbs-up” class=”” unprefixed_class=””] As you prepare to come for your Uganda gorilla adventure, please do some exercises so that you prepare your body for gorilla trekking which can last between 3-8 hours
[icon name=”thumbs-up” class=”” unprefixed_class=””] In case you can’t walk for a very long time, you shouldn’t really worry about not being able to do gorilla trekking because there are potters who can carry you throughout at a small extra cost.
[icon name=”thumbs-up” class=”” unprefixed_class=””] Carry your sunscreen lotion to keep your skin safe from the tropical heat & sun rays
[icon name=”thumbs-up” class=”” unprefixed_class=””] When you get to the gorillas, don’t make noise because this agitates the gorillas
