Day 01 | Arrival in Entebbe
Touch down in Entebbe, near the shores of Lake Victoria. Transfer to your hotel for a relaxed evening. Depending on arrival time, take a gentle stroll through the botanical gardens or along the lakeside before resting up for your journey through Uganda’s diverse landscapes.
Day 02 | Kampala to Jinja
Head east toward Jinja, often called the adventure capital of Uganda. Along the way, pass sugarcane fields and roadside markets. In Jinja, where the Nile begins its long journey north, you can unwind at your lodge or opt for light activities like a sunset boat cruise or riverside walk.
Day 03 | Jinja to Sipi Falls
Travel through eastern Uganda’s lush countryside to the foothills of Mount Elgon. Arrive at Sipi Falls—one of Uganda’s most beautiful natural landmarks. Take a guided walk to one or more of the falls, passing coffee farms and enjoying sweeping views of the plains below.
Day 04 | Sipi Falls to Pian Upe
Leave the highlands behind and drive into the remote, semi-arid wilderness of Pian Upe Game Reserve. This quiet, little-visited park offers a chance to see eland, ostrich, zebra, and other plains wildlife in dramatic scenery. Settle into your tented camp and take in the sense of open space and solitude.
Day 05 | Kidepo Valley National Park
Journey farther north into Kidepo Valley National Park, one of Africa’s most untouched wilderness areas. Surrounded by mountains and wide savannah, Kidepo is home to lions, elephants, giraffes, and rare birds. Your lodge overlooks the vast Narus Valley—offering panoramic views and a front-row seat to wildlife movement.
Start with a guided nature walk through Kidepo’s golden grasses, then venture out on a game drive across the Narus or Kidepo valleys. In the afternoon, visit a nearby Karamojong community to learn about traditional homesteads, dances, and local life in this beautifully remote corner of Uganda.
Day 07 | Hike to the Ik Tribe
Embark on a challenging but rewarding full-day hike into the Morungole Mountains to meet the Ik—one of Uganda’s smallest and most isolated ethnic groups. The walk offers sweeping views and a deep cultural exchange. Spend time learning about their customs, language, and unique mountain-top way of life.
Day 08 | To Murchison Falls National Park
Head southwest through Uganda’s northern frontier toward Murchison Falls National Park. The journey is long but scenic, with shifting landscapes and wildlife sightings along the way. Arrive in time to relax at your lodge and prepare for a new chapter of riverfront safari experiences.
Day 09 | Kampala via Ziwa Rhino Sanctuary
Depart Murchison and drive toward Kampala, stopping at Ziwa Rhino Sanctuary en route. Here, you’ll have the rare chance to track white rhinos on foot with rangers. After lunch, continue to Kampala or Entebbe for your final night, with time to freshen up before your departure.
Day 10 | Departure from Entebbe
Depending on your flight schedule, relax at your hotel or take a short optional city tour. You may visit the craft markets or enjoy a lakeside lunch before your transfer to Entebbe International Airport. Depart with memories of Uganda’s wilderness, cultures, and rich natural beauty.
