Day 1: Arrival in Uganda/Transfer to Queen Elizabeth
Day 2: Game drive at the Kasenyi Sector – Transfer back to Kampala
Our Guide will pick you up very early (6am) from either Entebbe or Kampala before starting the long journey to Queen Elizabeth national park. This journey takes between 5 to 6 hours and goes through amazing countryside with beautiful landscape and landmarks. You will stop at the equator crossing in Kayabwe (near Masaka) for photographs and a chance to count yourself among the few who have stood in two hemispheres at the same time. The equator is the planets main latitude that separates the planet earth into two sections – southern and northern hemispheres. As you continue your journey towards western Uganda, watch out for the amazing landscape consisting of endless savannah, large farms of the long horned ankole cattle and local people going about their daily business. Lunch will be in Mbarara town or another location depending on how the trip goes. You will reach the park around early in the afternoon. Check into your hotel if time allows or go straight for the afternoon boat cruise at the Kazinga channel. The Kazinga channel has one of the largest collection of hippos in Africa. It is a birders paradise with countless water, resident and migratory birds. Prepare for a treat as you spot buffaloes, crocodiles, elephants and hippos bathing by the water channel. Watch out for birds like pelicans, the Knob-billed Duck, African Jacana, yellow wagtail, common squacco Herons, flamingos, kingfishers, saddle-billed stork and the famous Shoebill Stork. You will also catch sights of primates like red tailed monkeys, white and black colobus monkey, olive baboons and vervet monkey. Dinner and overnight will be at either Simba Safari Camp, Bush Lodge or Kazinga Channel View Lodge for budget travelers. Moderate or Mid-range travelers will sleep in either Enganzi Lodge, Buffalo Safari Resort or Ihamba Safari Lodge. The luxury traveler will go for either Jacana Lodge, Katara Lodge or Mweya Safari Lodge.
Wake up very early, shower and take breakfast as you wait for the Guide/Driver to pick you up and take you for the morning game drive at the Mweya peninsula or Kasenyi plains. The Mweya peninsula is one of the best places to go for a game drive while on a Uganda safari. The peninsula is raised hence allowing you to have good views of the vast savannah, the animals, lake Katwe, Lake Edward and George. Expect to see hyenas, leopards, buffaloes, mongooses, elephants, the Uganda Kob, lions, warthogs, waterbucks and other types of antelopes. As you enjoy the game drive, watch out for the African skimmer, black-rumped buttonquails, black bee eater, the Chapins flycatcher, fish eagles, martial eagles, verreaux’s eagle owls, the white tailed lark and Pink-backed pelicans. After completing the activity, you will go and have lunch in your hotel before starting your journey back to Kampala or Entebbe. You will have stops at the Igongo Cultural Centre for souvenir if you didn’t get any at the park offices. Arrival time in Kampala is in the evening. Book your flight to depart in at 9:00pm in case you plan to leave Uganda on this day. End of Tour

Once in a lifetime trip!!
After doing a safari in Kenya, we thought nothing could match that but then we came to Uganda! Wow
We booked... read more the 10 day Uganda tour with Richard over Christmas and from start to finish it was exceptional. Richard was very attentive and approachable, constantly keeping us up to date with everything regarding the trip and answering any of our questions or queries.
We were picked up from the airport and debriefed about the trip before we started which made us feel well-prepared and informed.
Mark and Joseph were excellent guides. They were very knowledgable, friendly and it was great to have them with us for the trip!
For us this trip was really the trip of a lifetime- we ticked so many bucket list experiences off our list- walking with rhinos, trekking with the mountain gorillas and the chimpanzees, seeing hippos, crocodiles! We were amazed by the amount of animals we saw and it really couldn’t have been any better!
The trip was well organised, accommodation was beautiful, food was great- they even catered for me being a fussy eater and my boyfriend who is vegan!
If you’re looking for a unique and unforgettable experience, book your trip to Uganda! You certainly won’t be disappointed!
Oh and bring plenty of sweets for the children, they will constantly ask for them so be prepared! We also loved visiting the Kichwamba Orphange- their smiles and laughter was amazing and really brightened up our Christmas
Thanks again Inspire African Safaris for a fantastic experience in Uganda! We will remember this trip forever.

When you hear gorilla tracking it alone, it sounds like a simple tracking, but inspire organized my safari and surely I got the best experience, after like 1 hour of... read more hiking the most difficult terrain we met a group of gorillas which welcomed us anyway, the juveniles were so excited and they made stants for us, I spend there an hour with othet guests we were 8 in the group but the experience is never before, one thing I can assure you, Do gorilla tracking and you will live to remember , Uganda is so amazing,
My driver was so informative, friendly, and the best actually, Richard is fun and am happy we shall be friends forever. Hope to be back soon.etravelplanet
