16 DAYS SAFARI: ALL PEARLS OF UGANDA

When it comes to variety, this country clearly knows what it’s doing. Uganda hosts such a rich bouquet of landscapes and animals that even if you are the most seasoned traveller, you will be amazed.

During this 16-days Uganda tour you get to see the country’s most beautiful pearls – without having to dive deep down the sea. Instead you dive into national parks in every corner of the country and discover…

  • …not only the Big Five in Queen Elizabeth National Park, but also hyenas, hippos and more than 1,000 bird species of all kinds and colours,
  • …primates en masse with chimpanzees and mountain gorillas being in the limelight,
  • …everyday life of local tribes living in the jungle or in the most remote area of the country,
  • …the River Nile, the world’s longest river, by riding on its rapids in Jinja and
  • …how coffee actually gets from the field into the cup.

We’ve tailored this tour in such a way that FOMO (fear of missing out) doesn’t stand a chance. The only things you now have to do is to read this itinerary, feel your eyes getting bigger and bigger and click on the shiny button at the end – and you will experience all of this in no time. Enjoy!
