5-Day Uganda Safari – Murchison Falls & Kibale Chimpanzee Trekking
- Murchison Falls, Kibale National Park
Trip Overview
Discover the wild heart of Uganda on this thrilling 5-day safari combining two of the country’s most spectacular and diverse national parks — the mighty Murchison Falls National Park and the primate-rich Kibale National Park. Beginning and ending in Entebbe, this carefully curated Uganda wildlife safari takes you from the thundering power of Africa’s most dramatic waterfall to the lush tropical forests where habituated chimpanzees roam freely — delivering an extraordinary and deeply immersive East African safari experience unlike any other.
Departing Entebbe on Day 1, journey north to the magnificent Murchison Falls National Park — Uganda’s largest and most celebrated protected area. Spend Days 1 and 2 exploring this vast and wildlife-rich landscape, where the mighty Nile River is forced through a narrow 7-metre gorge to create one of the most powerful and breathtaking waterfalls on Earth. Game drives across Murchison’s sweeping savannah deliver exceptional sightings of elephants, lions, leopards, giraffes, buffalos, hippos, and an outstanding variety of birdlife, while a scenic boat cruise along the Nile to the base of the falls offers a truly unforgettable wildlife and landscape experience.
On Days 3 and 4, travel south to the ancient Kibale National Park — home to the largest concentration of primates in Africa and one of the best places on Earth for chimpanzee trekking. Trek through dense tropical rainforest in search of habituated chimp communities, observing their remarkably human-like behavior up close in their natural habitat — a profound and moving wildlife encounter that consistently ranks as one of Uganda’s most memorable safari experiences. Day 5 marks the end of your adventure with a transfer back to Entebbe Airport and onward to Kampala.
