Uganda & The Gorillas of Bwindi View Basket

A once-in-a-lifetime opportunity

Departs from Australia 11 August 2023 | 15 nights | ESCORTED SMALL GROUP TOUR

Entebbe, Murchison Falls National Park, Fort Portal, Queen Elizabeth National Park, Bwindi Impenetrable National Park, Lake Mburo National Park, Entebbe

Winston Churchill famously referred to Uganda as the Pearl of Africa – how true! Astride the Equator, the country is home to a unique physical landscape of rivers, lakes and stunning mountains, providing the ideal habitat for its diverse wildlife.

Another highlight of Uganda is the source of the famous Nile River, exiting from Lake Victoria to begin the long journey northwards to the Mediterranean via Egypt. Discovered by John Speke in 1862, the source of the Nile is yet another experience to cherish. This exclusively designed tour provides a golden opportunity to be your very own modern day explorer.

Where else but in this uniquely lush destination can you observe treeclimbing lions, track both chimpanzees and mountain gorillas through rainforest undergrowth, then navigate tropical channels teeming with hippos and spectacular birdlife? Less environmental pressures and tourist numbers make Uganda’s natural conditions ideal for wildlife viewing.

Discover these truly magnificent African ‘gems’, where you will be welcomed with heart-warming hospitality by the people, and experience the awesome grandeur of the environment.
