4-Day Uganda Safari - Queen Elizabeth & Bwindi Impenetrable Forest National Park

4-Day Uganda Safari – Queen Elizabeth NP & Bwindi Gorilla Trekking

Trip Overview

Experience the very best of Uganda’s incredible wildlife on this compact yet action-packed 4-day safari departing from Kigali, Rwanda. This carefully crafted itinerary combines two of Uganda’s most iconic and breathtaking national parks — the wildlife-rich Queen Elizabeth National Park and the ancient Bwindi Impenetrable Forest National Park — home to nearly half of the world’s remaining mountain gorillas.

Beginning in Kigali, Day 1 takes you across the border into Uganda and straight into Queen Elizabeth National Park — one of Africa’s most diverse ecosystems, renowned for its tree-climbing lions, massive elephant herds, hippos, buffalos, and exceptional birdlife. Days 2 and 3 are dedicated to the once-in-a-lifetime experience of mountain gorilla trekking through the dense and mystical forests of Bwindi Impenetrable National Park — a UNESCO World Heritage Site and one of the most biodiverse places on Earth. Coming face to face with a wild gorilla family in their natural habitat is a profound and deeply moving experience that no safari can rival. Day 4 returns you to Kigali for your onward journey.
