What we do each day

In Kibale Forest we walk with a ranger to find chimpanzees that are used to people. You hear them long before you see them: calls echo through the trees, then a branch moves overhead.

The walk is on forest trails and takes the morning. Tell me how much walking you like and I will plan around it.

On the Kazinga Channel in Queen Elizabeth, an afternoon boat trip is one of the best wildlife hours in the country: hippos along the banks, buffalo in the shallows, and storks and kingfishers everywhere.

In Murchison Falls we ride a boat upriver toward the foot of the falls.

We drive in safari vehicles with pop-up roofs, so everyone can stand and look out. Game drives cross open grassland with giraffes, buffalo, zebra, elephants, leopards, and lions....and more.

At Murchison Falls the whole Nile forces its way through a gap in the rock about seven meters wide. We ride upriver until the spray reaches the boat, then walk to the top to see and hear it up close.

Leaving from the Entebbe docks, we take a boat to the other side of the inlet to begin the swamp tour. So many birds to see as we look for the most prehistoric bird in Uganda, the Shoebill. Entire tour is approximately 3 hours.

We love to explore communities using our feet instead of our car to get out in the sunshine and see some of the cultural aspects of Uganda. Uganda is not just about the animals, it's about the people too.

This trek starts at 8am at our designated gate. After a briefing, our rangers take us to look for our assigned gorilla family. Keep in mind, it could take 20 minutes to find our family or 5 hours. Porters are available for hire if you need a helping hand. Its a thrill of a lifetime when we reach the family.

Before heading back to Entebbe, we must make a stop at Ziwa Rhino & wildlife ranch to walk to the white Rhinos. Such a treat as we end our trip.
