11 Days Uganda Safari
Journey Through Pristine Nature of Uganda
11 Days Uganda Safari Overview
For this 11-day Safari in Uganda, guests will first touchdown in the vibrant greens of Entebbe before taking to the skies again to Murchison Falls National Park. Here, the Nile’s power carves through the earth, a spectacle best enjoyed alongside your knowledgeable guide. Your journey continues with diverse wildlife sightings from the northern banks of the Nile and up-close encounters with chimpanzees in Kibale National Park.
Roam the savannahs of Queen Elizabeth National Park, spotting tree-climbing lions, and culminate your trip with two memorable days tracking mountain gorillas in the misty forests of Bwindi Impenetrable National Park. Your journey winds down with a reflective return to Entebbe, where a dayroom at Protea Hotel awaits before your journey home.

Our Reviews
Legacy Exchange Outfitters offers more than just a vacation. Eugene and his team work hard to provide their guests with a remarkable experience. However, sightseeing wild animals in their natural habitat is only part of the adventure.
