Signature Uganda Safari & Gorilla Trekking

Take a private charter flight north to Murchison Falls National Park. From above, the Nile gleams like a silver ribbon through the savannah. Transfer to Nile Safari Lodge, an eco-luxury retreat with river-facing villas and an infinity pool overlooking hippo pods.

Enjoy an afternoon game drive across the savannah before returning to sundowners on your private deck. Tonight’s dinner is served riverside, with lanterns glowing beneath the stars.

At sunrise, set out for a private game drive: giraffes silhouetted against the dawn, lions stalking kob herds, elephants moving in stately procession. After lunch, board a private boat for a Nile cruise. Drift past crocodiles, hippos, and dazzling birdlife until you reach the roaring base of Murchison Falls.

Return to the lodge for a candlelit dinner and optional nightcap by the firepit.

Board a charter flight south to Kibale National Park, the primate capital of East Africa. Your destination: Chimpundu Lodge, a contemporary forest retreat with spa, swimming pool, and private cottages tucked into the jungle.

Spend the afternoon at leisure: take a guided forest walk, visit a local coffee estate, or simply relax with a massage overlooking the trees.

Set out early for your chimpanzee trek, accompanied by expert rangers. The forest echoes with calls and drumming as you watch chimps swing, groom, and feed. This exclusive encounter is as thrilling as it is intimate.

Return to the lodge for a gourmet lunch and spa treatment. Later, enjoy sundowners around the campfire, followed by fine dining beneath the stars.

Drive into Queen Elizabeth National Park, where the Rwenzori Mountains rise dramatically to the west. Stay at Kyambura Gorge Lodge, a chic conversion of an old coffee estate with panoramic views and stylish bandas.

In the afternoon, embark on a game drive through the Kasenyi Plains, where lions, elephants, and antelope thrive.

Spend the morning on a private boat cruise along the Kazinga Channel, famed for its dense hippo pods, buffalo herds, and abundant birdlife. In the afternoon, continue on safari in the Mweya Peninsula or opt for a private bush lunch overlooking the plains.

Travel south through Ishasha, where lions are known to climb fig trees. Enjoy a game drive before arriving at Mahogany Springs Lodge, an elegant property set at the edge of Bwindi’s rainforest. Spacious suites with private terraces overlook the Munyanga River, while the lodge’s refined service and lush gardens create a sanctuary of calm after your day’s safari.

Wake to the cool mist of Bwindi. Today is the pinnacle: gorilla trekking. Your private guide leads you into the dense forest where you’ll spend an unforgettable hour with a gorilla family. A silverback watches with quiet authority as youngsters tumble and play in a profoundly humbling encounter.

Return to Mahogany Springs Lodge, where a champagne toast and optional spa treatment await. In the evening, enjoy gourmet dining with views over the forested slopes.

After a relaxed breakfast, board your private charter flight back to Entebbe. Enjoy a farewell lunch and access to a day room before your evening international departure.
