A 10-day Uganda safari lets you add chimpanzee tracking and a proper primate-forest stop to the classic gorilla-and-savannah route, without needing the two full weeks a complete national park circuit would take.
Key Highlights
- Combines gorilla trekking, chimpanzee tracking and a full savannah safari
- Adds Kibale National Park’s rainforest to the standard 7-day route
- Still manageable entirely by road, without domestic flights
- Leaves room for an extra rest day at a crater lake or Lake Bunyonyi
Day-by-Day Outline
Days 1–3: Drive to Bwindi via Lake Mburo, gorilla trek. Days 4–5: Transfer to Queen Elizabeth National Park for game drives and a boat cruise. Days 6–7: Continue to Kibale National Park for chimpanzee tracking and a Bigodi Wetland walk. Days 8–9: Optional Fort Portal crater lakes or Semuliki extension. Day 10: Return to Entebbe.
