Park and Kibale Forest Chimpanzee trekking. The total length of a Fly in Safari would be seven to ten days.
The other less costly option is to do the Safari beginning in Kigali, Rwanda and ending in Entebbe, Uganda, for your flight out. Such a safari would be twelve days long. This would be a Big-7 Safari and include Bwindi Forest, Queen Elizabeth Park, Kibale Forest, Ziwa Rhino Sanctuary and Kidepo Valley Park and Murchison Falls Park.
Neither Safari is prepackaged but would be created to fit your schedule and pocketbook. Both the fly-in and by road Safari cand be done as a Private, Value+ Mid-Range or Luxury Safari with your personal Driver/Guide who knows Uganda, does not need a GPS Device.
We suggest that your focus for this Safari should be just on Uganda, the Pearl of Africa.
