Uganda's full southern-to-northern circuit in ten days — zebra at Lake Mburo, mountain gorillas in Bwindi, Queen Elizabeth's game drives and boat cruise, chimpanzees in Kibale, and a finish at Murchison Falls.
This is the fullest single-country Uganda itinerary short of a grand expedition: zebra and antelope at Lake Mburo, a mountain gorilla trek in Bwindi, big game and a boat cruise at Queen Elizabeth National Park, chimpanzee trekking in Kibale, and a finish at Murchison Falls with its own game drive and Nile cruise to the base of the falls.

Everything travellers usually ask before booking this safari.
This ten-day version adds Murchison Falls National Park at the end — a full game drive and Nile boat cruise — which the eight-day circuit doesn't include. It's the better choice if Murchison Falls is a must-see for you.
It's one of the longer drive days on this itinerary — around seven hours — but it passes through the scenic Rwenzori foothills and tea-growing country, and can be broken up with stops.
