Uganda's full range in one expedition — the source of the Nile, Sipi Falls' coffee country, remote Kidepo Valley, Murchison Falls, chimpanzees, Queen Elizabeth's game drives, and mountain gorillas in Bwindi.
This is Uganda without compromise: the source of the Nile at Jinja, a coffee-country trek at Sipi Falls, the wild, rarely-visited plains of Kidepo Valley National Park on the South Sudan border, Murchison Falls' game drives and Nile boat cruise, chimpanzee trekking in Kibale, Queen Elizabeth's big game and Kazinga Channel cruise, and mountain gorilla trekking in Bwindi — nineteen days covering ground almost no other single itinerary attempts.

Everything travellers usually ask before booking this safari.
It's genuinely a full expedition rather than a typical holiday — built for travellers who want to see the whole of Uganda in one trip. We can also break it into two shorter itineraries (northern circuit and southern/primate circuit) if 19 days isn't realistic for your schedule.
Yes — domestic flights between Kidepo, Murchison Falls and the southern parks can replace several long drive days for an additional cost; ask us for a fly-in version of this itinerary.
Kidepo is one of Africa's most rewarding and least-crowded parks, and this is the only itinerary on our site that reaches it — the extra travel time is the honest trade-off for genuinely remote wilderness.
