Mon-Sun: 9am - 5pm
Relaxed, diverse and filled with fabby fun: that’s our, or rather your, 7-day family safari in Uganda.
Everything starts in Jinja, the adrenaline capital of Uganda. On calm horses you and your little ones discover the beautiful surroundings, little villages and some animals along the way. Majestic wildlife like lions, elephants, hippos and crocodiles as well as instagrammable waterfalls are welcoming you in Murchison Falls National Park. These few days will already give you plenty of memories, which you can reminisce about on your way to Kibale National Park.
Together you’ll go chimpanzee trekking in this lush, emerald forest and marvel at a stunning flora and fauna during a swamp walk in the Bigodi Wetland Sanctuary. Your kids will not get enough of the colourful birds, the playful monkeys and the curious otters (yes, otters!) roaming this paradise. This is how you create memories for a lifetime!
