Your grand 15-day Ugandan expedition begins as you touch down at Entebbe International Airport, situated on a lush peninsula of Lake Victoria. Upon arrival, you'll be greeted by our professional safari guide. A short transfer takes you to your boutique hotel.

After a hearty Ugandan breakfast, we drive north to Ziwa Rhino Sanctuary, a vital conservation project. You'll track white rhinos on foot with an armed ranger — a thrilling and educational wildlife encounter.

We continue to Murchison Falls National Park, Uganda's oldest and largest protected area. Visit the 'Top of the Falls' where the entire Victoria Nile is forced through a 7-metre gorge, plunging 43 metres into the 'Devil's Cauldron'.

Rise before dawn for a morning game drive in the northern sector to spot leopard and lion. In the afternoon, board a boat safari up the Nile to the base of the falls. Hippos, crocodiles, elephants and prolific birdlife line the banks.

Today offers incredible scenic diversity as we drive south through the western arm of the Great Rift Valley. Pass viewpoints over Lake Albert, the 'Garden City' of Fort Portal, and lush rolling tea plantations.

Kibale is the 'Primate Capital of the World'. Enter the dense primeval forest in search of habituated chimpanzees. Spend an hour observing our closest biological relatives foraging, playing, and socialising in the high canopy.

We spend a slow morning at the lodge or take a guided community walk in Bigodi Wetland Sanctuary. After lunch, drive south to Queen Elizabeth National Park, arriving for an evening game drive through the crater lakes region.

Morning game drive on Kasenyi plains, the primary hunting ground for lion prides. Afternoon boat safari on the Kazinga Channel — a 32 km waterway with the highest hippo concentration in the world.

We head to the remote Ishasha sector of Queen Elizabeth NP, famous for its unique tree-climbing lions that lounge in sycamore and fig trees. A surreal and rare sight found in few places on Earth.

We ascend into the Kigezi Highlands to Bwindi Impenetrable National Park, a UNESCO World Heritage site and one of the oldest rainforests on Earth. A place of deep mists and ancient shadows.

The day you traveled across the world for. After an early briefing, venture into the thick rainforest with expert rangers. When you come face-to-face with a family of mountain gorillas, time stands still. One profound hour observing these gentle giants.

After the gorilla trek, we drive to Lake Bunyonyi for serene relaxation. The second deepest lake in Africa, breathtakingly beautiful with 29 emerald islands scattered across its blue waters.

Explore the magic of Lake Bunyonyi by traditional dugout canoe. Each island has a story. Visit a local school and gain deeper understanding of the Bakiga and Batwa people.

Journey to Lake Mburo National Park, Uganda's smallest savannah park rich in unique wildlife. The only place in southern Uganda to see Impala and Burchell's zebra. Afternoon boat cruise on the lake.

On our final day, experience the savannah on foot with an armed ranger. Walk among zebras, kobs, and giraffes without the barrier of a vehicle. Then begin the final drive back to Entebbe with an Equator stop.
