Special Departure: Kenya-Uganda

Meet and Greet in Nairobi to get a full briefing of the tour in person. Explain what to prepare for etc.

Kickstarting the tour, we depart the city in the early hours of the morning to avoid traffic jams and head out to the wilderness. Our drive today takes us into the Rift valley to visit Masai Mara National Reserve. We will spend the next two days and three nights doing safari drives and in the hope of seeing the Great Migration in action.

Today we spend the whole day out in the park looking for wildlife. A chance to take part in the hot air balloon safari this morning before continuing with the Safari drive until late afternoon.

Spending another full day out and about in the park and concentrating on the Mara River Crossing points hoping to get lucky in seeing the great migration crossing.

Leaving with great game viewing testimonies, we track back to Rift Valley Lake systems to visit Lake Naivasha, from where we can get access into Hells Gate National Park. We take part in a cycling Safari into the park, visit the parks gorge and back to the gate. From the park we travel to the Elsamere Museum, home of Joy and George Adamson and a fitting tribute to the lives dedicated to the wildlife of Kenya.

This morning we leave soon after breakfast to continue along the Rift Valley floor to visit the Lake Nakuru area. For this day we take an afternoon game drive in the park before returning to our humble aboard.

Today we start our day early as we set off from our camp to head into the Lake Nakuru National Park. We spend our day learning about the wildlife in this park and hopefully also have a chance to view the flamingos and the elusive Rhino. The park has predators too and a variety of birds of prey.

After our game viewing excursions for Kenya, it will be time to drive across to Uganda and starting off with the Adventure capital of East Africa - Jinja. A bit of a long drive today, we will have a super early departure since we have a busy border to cross. Once we have crossed over, arrival time in Jinja will be expected into the late afternoon. We will be spending the next two nights taking part in activities in Jinja.

Today we spend the day exploring Jinja and taking part in the multitude of activities on offer. In the late afternoon we take a relaxed boat cruise on Lake Victoria and visit the Source of the River Nile.

This morning we leave early to drive through to the capital of Uganda. We aim to arrive in Kampala in the mid morning. We will take time to explore Kampala throughout the remainder of the day and reach our destination in the late afternoon.

An early start today as we head off to the central region. Our drive takes us first to Ziwa Rhino Sanctuary where we will take part in a Rhino excursion on foot. Trained Safari Rangers will educate us about Rhinos, their history and story in Uganda and the beginning of the place they now call home. After this excursion we drive to our destination at Masindi.

A relaxed start today as we head into the Murchison Falls National Park. From the entrance of the park we drive through the Budongo Forest which is part of the National Park and this is the largest Eastern Mahogany Forest in Africa. We take time to visit arguably the most powerful natural waterfall in the world - the Murchison Falls where the Waters of the Mighty River Nile are pushed through a 7m gap in width before plummeting to about 43m in depth before continuing on their onward journey towards the Nile Delta in northern Egypt and empties into the Mediterranean Sea.

Today we spend a full day in the national park taking part in game drives to view the elusive predators that call this park home and a boat cruise to view the Murchison Falls from downriver this time inorder to get both perspectives of the Falls. We explore the park to the best of our ability to get the most out of our visit here.

After our night of rest, this morning we head to the Great Lakes region of Fort Portal. A couple of hours drive through hills and valleys, we aim to reach our destination in the late afternoon. We reserve the remainder of the day to visit a tea estate to learn more about the tea plantations and Uganda's tea industry.

This morning we go down into the valley to visit Queen Elizabeth National Park. Our two night stay here enables us to visit both the Kasenyi and Mweya sector of the park.

An early morning to late morning drive in this park, we explore it in search of the tree climbing lions. Returning to the lodge for an early lunch we visit the Kyambura Gorge in the afternoon to take part in the Chimpanzee trekking. After our excursion we take another short game drive before retiring for the night at the camp.

A relatively early departure today, we ascend from the crater lakes to go to the upper parts of Bwindi Inpenetrable forest. A quick stop in Kyambura village above the gorge, we take part in a coffee excursion be embarking on a scenic drive as we wind up and down through the hills and valleys. Arrival at our well appointed Tented accommodation in the Rubuguri village is expected in the late afternoon.

Today is reserved for the Mountain Gorilla trekking, the biggest highlight of our safari. After your trekking, return to the lodge to relax for the afternoon or take part in community activities.

From our retreat in the Bwindi region, we ascend up from the valley to the Highlands in the South West of Uganda. From Kisoro, we hope to view the Virunga Mountain range. From this attempt we drive over the hills and valleys to reach our next destination, Lake Bunyonyi. Lake Bunyonyi is one of the highest altitude and deepest volcanic lakes on the continent. Reaching depths of 900m plus in some areas and having about 29 islands in total, this place is a little hidden haven of Uganda. We take a short guided cruise to familiarize ourselves with the lake.

Taking advantage of our location, we take time to visit Kigali the Capital City Of Rwanda. A scenic drive, a visit to the Genocide Museum to learn about the country's past and how they defeated adversity is truly eye opening. We return to our humble retreat in the late afternoon.

From the high altitude lake we wind down descending from the hills to visit Lake Mburo National Park. This being the only park where we can take part in nature walks, we intend to do just that in the late afternoon today. We aim to arrive by mid afternoon to enjoy the panoramic views of the park from our well appointed Tented Camp before going down learn a thing or two about the park's fauna and flora.

An early departure from our camp, we do a short drive through the park before exiting to reach the highway and start the long drive to Entebbe. We make a stop at the Equator today to learn about the differences between the northern and Southern hemisphere and the coriolis effect. After lunch we proceed through Kampala and head to our last point of the tour, the airport town of Entebbe.

Tour ends after breakfast.
