An Arrive Africa Safaris tour driver will be your first point of contact with Uganda’s rich soil. You will be driven through Entebbe town with an immediate view of beaches, local markets, and small businesses to your hotel in Kampala city center.
Your journey will start from Kampala with a stop-over at Ziwa Rhino Sanctuary for rhino tracking which is exciting to see these endangered rhinos in a protected conservation area living in the wild. Enjoy lunch here then continue to Murchison Falls National Park for the evening. This park has Victoria Nile running through it with rapids before it shoots to form the falls that pour through the narrow creek.
On this second day, wake early for a morning game drive that will let you see the wild wake up before your eyes. See how the antelopes, buffalos, elephants, leave their sleeping grounds to go to the falls for a drink, bath or a splash in the water. With an experienced game ranger/your tour guide, you will be able to drive down trails to see the nesting places unique to 4 of the Big 5 animals; lions, elephants, leopards, buffalos.
Go for a relaxing boat ride on River Nile that ends at the foot of the falls so that you take a hike to the top of the falls. During this boat ride, enjoy the feel of the boat against the rapids on the Great Nile River as you see hippos and crocodiles at the shores with some having their bodies in the water and elephants using their trunks to pour water on their bodies to cool off during the hot seasons. See water birds, some of the 451 species, as you ride to the foot of the falls.
your third day will start by you going for an Air balloon safari before dawn to get an aerial view of Murchison Falls Park; the Victoria Nile running through the park, green savannah land, animals moving about, the Falls, The Great Nile River flowing towards the Mediterranean Sea. Then descend for a champagne bush breakfast as you hear and see the park wake. For the afternoon, you can choose to go for white water rafting which is possible upon special request during your booking or return to the hotel to rest for the afternoon.
NOTE: Sole usage of the balloon (Wedding proposals, Photoshoot sessions, VIP guests, can be arranged on request.
This road travel is very scenic because of the distance between the two national parks; see district town centers, street vendors, green vegetation fir miles, tea plantations, village roadside markets you drive to western Uganda. Kibale national park is located south of Fort Portal and has a diverse species of primates like the rare red colobus, the black and white colobus monkeys, chimpanzees in the Kibale forest.
Kibale National Park is one of the 21 places in Africa to track chimpanzees. head to the park headquarters for an experienced park ranger to take you into Kibale forest for tracking of the chimpanzees so that you watch these giant creatures for hours as they go about their daily routines in the wild like grooming each other, hunting for fruits and insects, playing, sitting with each other. This changes your perspective of these apes being mere animals to understanding how scientists came to say the chimpanzees share 98% of Human DNA.
We shall get ready for our road trip to Queen Elizabeth National Game Park, The park is very scenic because it combines bushland, savannah plain lands, forests, wetlands with the Kazinga Channel flowing through the park that connects to Lake George and Lake Edward thus attracting wildlife and birds to it because of the huge waters it offers for survival. This park has one of the largest hippo concentration numbers in the world. Let us go for an afternoon boat ride when the sun is hot so that the Kazinga Channel turns into a drinking spot for many animals especially the crocodiles, hippos, buffalos that immerse themselves in the water to cool off. The animals might be unbothered by your boat so you can take photos of them up close.
Breakfast before daybreak will let you start the game drive early during the “golden hours” to
enjoy watching the savannah land inhabitants rise like the elephants, buffalos, warthogs, kobs,
antelopes. In the afternoon, you can go for a hike in the valley of apes that is to say the Kyambura gorge which is a
geological feature home to several primates like vervet monkeys, chimpanzees, baboons, red-tailed monkeys.
Join a team of Lion researchers and track lions in the Ishasha sector of the park to collect data for the Lion Conservation Program, Uganda. The Ishasha sector in Queen Elizabeth National Park is famous for tree-climbing lions; see the lions climb and relax in the big fig tree branches in the park. They hunt especially in the evenings and in the night when most prey has let its guard down for the evening against predators. Track them through the daily routine of pride. Have a free afternoon relaxing at the pool.
Your morning will be a journey for your taste buds as you have a bush breakfast then set off for Bwindi impenetrable national park.
