Day 1
Transfer to Lake Mburo National Park
The transfer to Lake Mburo isn’t just a ride it’s a transition into stillness, beauty, and soft adventure. As the road winds through quiet hills, you begin to feel the rhythm of the wild calling. Lake Mburo greets you not with crowds or noise, but with open savannahs, tranquil lakes, and wildlife that moves at the pace of peace. It’s the only park in Uganda where you can walk among zebras, ride past impalas, or glide across the water beside hippos. Each experience is close, personal, and unforgettable. You don’t just observe nature here you become part of it. Ideal for solo travelers, couples, and seekers of slower safaris, Lake Mburo offers connection, charm, and calm in every corner. Booking this journey isn’t about ticking boxes; it’s about choosing grace over rush, and immersion over itinerary. Let the wild slow you down, and Lake Mburo will fill you back up.

Day 2
Cycling safari and transfer to Bwindi
This journey begins not with a roar, but with a rhythm the quiet hum of your tires rolling through Lake Mburo’s golden savannah. You cycle past zebras, giraffes, and impalas, not behind glass, but in the open air, where every breath feels earned and every sight feels personal. It’s not just adventure it’s intimacy with the wild. Then, the road rises and the landscape shifts. You’re transferred toward Bwindi, where the forest thickens and the air grows sacred. The transition is cinematic from open plains to misty mountains. And when you finally stand before the gorillas, you’ll know: this wasn’t just a journey across Uganda. It was a journey into something deeper. Book it because it’s rare. Because it’s real. Because it moves you body, heart, and soul.

Day 3
Mountain gorilla trekking and community visit
Step into a world where silence speaks louder than words. Mountain gorilla trekking isn’t just about seeing wildlife it’s about locking eyes with a creature that mirrors your soul. Deep in Bwindi’s misty forest, you’ll share breath with giants whose presence stills time. It’s raw, humbling, unforgettable. But the story doesn’t end there. After the forest, you meet its guardians the local communities whose lives pulse alongside the gorillas. Hear ancient songs, walk the Batwa trail, learn how survival and conservation intertwine. Every handshake, every smile, every story adds depth to your journey. Why book it? Because this isn’t just a safari. It’s a soul encounter. A chance to feel, connect, and give back all in one unforgettable experience.

Day 5
Game drive, boat cruise and transfer to Fort portal
Begin with the thrill of the wild a sunrise game drive across Queen Elizabeth’s Kasenyi plains, where lions stalk silently and Uganda kobs leap through golden grass. Then shift to water, gliding along the Kazinga Channel as elephants drink, hippos grunt, and birds dance across the sky. It’s not just a cruise it’s a front-row seat to nature’s theater. And just when you think the day can’t hold more, the road calls. You’re transferred to Fort Portal, winding through crater lakes, tea plantations, and misty hills that feel like a dream unfolding. This isn’t just a journey it’s a layered experience of adrenaline, serenity, and scenic transformation. Book it because it blends the pulse of the savannah with the poetry of the mountains and every mile tells a story worth remembering.

Day 6
Chimpanzee trekking and Bigodi swamp visit
Step into the heartbeat of Uganda’s wild soul. In Kibale Forest, the air hums with life as you trek through ancient trees in search of chimpanzees intelligent, expressive beings whose gaze feels startlingly familiar. It’s not just thrilling; it’s intimate. You’ll hear them before you see them, then witness their world unfold in gestures, calls, and quiet moments that stay with you. Then, the journey softens. Bigodi Wetland Sanctuary welcomes you with its lush boardwalks and whispering reeds. Here, nature slows down. You’ll spot rare birds like the Great Blue Turaco, glimpse monkeys swinging through the canopy, and walk alongside locals who protect this haven with pride and purpose. This experience isn’t just about wildlife it’s about connection. Book it because it blends adrenaline with serenity, and leaves you feeling not just amazed, but deeply moved.

Day 7
Transfer to Entebbe
The journey from Kibale to Entebbe isn’t just a transfer it’s a gentle descent from the wild into memory. As you leave the forest behind, the road winds through crater lakes, tea plantations, and rolling hills that feel like a farewell song from nature itself. It’s a time to reflect on the chimpanzees whose gaze stirred something deep, on the quiet moments in Bigodi, and on the rhythm of the land that carried you. This route offers scenic stops, cultural glimpses, and a soft landing back into the world. Book it because every great journey deserves a graceful ending and this one lets you carry the wild with you, all the way to Entebbe. Breakfast & lunch (Dinner not included) Non-alcoholic drinks

My 3 days long safari in Murchison Falls was really great! The activities were balanced out perfectly with a short hike to see the waterfalls, game drives, a boat tour on the Nile, and the rhino tracking, which was my favorite! For me the strenght of safari was being able to see a lot of animals and stunning nature without having to be in the car all the time. The accommodations were super nice: confortable, clean and in beautiful locations. I highly recommend choosing Gatsio Safari as not only is it good value for money but you will also get a great service. Our guide Adams brought a lot of energy and created a good atmosphere in the group while Nickson managed my reservation answering all my questions, and supporting me with my requests, last but not least, he's also a very good hang. No reasons not to choose them!

Outstanding service from start to finish
I’m so grateful that Gatsio Safariz was able to accommodate my last-minute request to join a group safari to Murchison Falls National Park. The experience was simply unforgettable, and I didn’t have to worry about a thing—every detail was well taken care of by Gatsio Safariz. I highly recommend this tour operator, especially for solo travelers looking to join a group tour, even at the last minute!

The best operator in Uganda!
He helped us a lot to buy our permits to see the gorillas. He's our angel :)

Professional, organised, perfect trip to Murchison Falls!!
An unforgettable, amazing safari experience is just as much about the organisers as it is the animals. The team at Gatsio were next level brilliant. Flawless - from beginning to end. I felt so looked after by Benjamin during the planning stages of my trip. He genuinely cares, listens to what you'd like to have planned and then dedicates himself tirelessly to making sure all your needs are met. Communication was absolutely impeccable. The 3 days I spent alongside Vianne on my Murchison Falls trip were just incredible. I could've talked to him all day. Such a warm, personable and knowledgeable guide. I learnt so much. Loved every second of my trip. It is seriously impossible to go wrong with Gatsio Safariz.
