Day 1
Welcome to Uganda! Upon your arrival at Entebbe International Airport, your guide will greet you and start your scenic drive west toward Kibale Forest National Park, often called the “Primate Capital of Africa.” You'll enjoy the changing landscapes — from the lush green countryside to rolling tea plantations. You'll arrive in Fort Portal, a charming town near the foothills of the Rwenzori Mountains, for lunch and a short rest. If time allows, you will visit the crater lakes region before heading to your lodge near the forest.

Day 2
After an early breakfast, you'll join a ranger guide for your chimpanzee trekking experience in Kibale Forest. You'll watch these lively primates swing from the treetops, play, and communicate — a thrilling and emotional experience. After the trek, you will enjoy lunch before heading south to Queen Elizabeth National Park, famous for its diverse wildlife and dramatic landscapes. You'll arrive in time for an evening game drive incase time allows, where you may spot elephants, warthogs, buffaloes, and perhaps a leopard at dusk. Mid-range lodge located outside Queen Elizabeth NP All meals included Non-alcoholic drinks
Day 3
You'll rise early for a sunrise game drive through the Kasenyi Plains. Look out for lions, elephants, Uganda kobs, and colorful bird life as the golden light paints the Savannah. In the afternoon, you'll take a boat cruise along the Kazinga Channel, connecting Lakes Edward and George. You'll watch hippos lazing in the water, crocodiles basking on the shores, and elephants quenching their thirst — an incredible close-up wildlife experience. Optional evening activity: Cultural village walk or traditional dance performance. Mid-range lodge located outside Queen Elizabeth NP All meals included Non-alcoholic drinks
Day 4
After breakfast, you'll set off on a scenic drive to Bwindi Impenetrable Forest via the Ishasha Sector, home to the famous tree-climbing lions. Keep your eyes peeled for these rare cats lounging in the fig trees. You will continue through the rolling highlands into the mystical Bwindi Forest — a UNESCO World Heritage Site and home of the endangered mountain gorillas. You'll arrive at your lodge nestled on the forest edge, surrounded by mist-covered hills. Mid-range lodge located just outside Rushaga (Bwindi Impenetrable NP) All meals included Non-alcoholic drinks
Day 5
The moment you step into the ancient, misty Bwindi Impenetrable Forest, you feel the weight of history in it's dense, emerald canopy. This is not just a hike; it is a pilgrimage to meet our majestic cousins in their only remaining sanctuary. Trekking through tangled vines and steep, moss-covered ridges, the anticipation builds with every rustle in the undergrowth. When you finally come face-to-face with a mountain gorilla family, time stands still. Watching a massive silverback oversee his troop with calm authority is a profound, life-altering experience. You’ll witness tender moments as mothers cradle their young and playful juveniles tumble through the foliage. Later you will go for batwa experience. Mid-range lodge located just outside Rushaga (Bwindi Impenetrable NP) All meals included Non-alcoholic drinks
Day 6
You will enjoy your early breakfast then checkout and hit the road to Entebbe via the equator point to catch a flight or be dropped off at a hotel of your choice. Breakfast & lunch (Dinner not included) Non-alcoholic drinks

5.0/5I recently had the pleasure of traveling with Verdoro Safaris, and it was an outstanding experience from the start to the end. Communication before and during the trip was clear and professional. Every question I had was answered with patience and detail, which made me feel confident and excited before the tour even began.The staff were good too. Our guide was incredibly knowledgeable about the wildlife and local culture, and his enthusiasm made the experience even more memorable. I enjoyed the game drives of Murchison falls and Queen Elizabeth National Park. I highly recommend Verdoro Safaris to anyone looking for a reliable, enriching, and well-organized safari experience. You won’t be disappointed because they exceeded my expectations.
Zoran · Bosnia and Herzegovina
Verdoro communicated regularly, efficiently and effectively, prior to our arrival Their suggestions were constructive and helpful. All questions were answered promptly. Adjustments were readily made to our itinerary, owing to unforeseen circumstances. Our tour exceeded our expectations. We have had experiences which we will remember forever. Whilst in Uganda our guide has ensured we have arrived at each destination safely and has shared extensive local knowledge. They have resolved any minor issues easily and supported us doing things outside their remit.
Sue · United Kingdom
During the planning stages Verdoro Safaris was very helpful with setting up the routes and activities during the safari. The guide we had was extremely knowledgeable about the wildlife as well as general questions we had. When the weather was less than great there were alternatives provided from which we could choose. The accommodations they had us in were great and very close to the parks and activities. The vehicle was well maintained and comfortable. We were able to see almost everything that we wanted to see and the only misses were due to weather or just nature not cooperating. Would highly recommend.
