TOUR OVERVIEW

This 12-day Uganda wildlife sighting safari is an amazing safari destination that will take you through Uganda’s wildlife packs that include Murchison Falls National Park in the northwest part of Uganda, which is the largest and most visited national park. You will enjoy the game drive and the boat cruise on the Nile. Furthermore, our 12-day Uganda wildlife sighting safari will take you to Kidepo Valley National Park. Because of its remoteness, this secret sanctuary is rarely visited by travelers who come to observe the magnificent and unique untouched terrain and the remarkable variety of wildlife. Then head south to Mount Elgon to observe the spectacular Sipi Falls, which spills over a 100-meter cliff, as well as the mountain’s other scenic scenes. The Savannah Safari in Uganda concludes with a visit to Jinja, where the Mighty Nile begins its 6,700-kilometer journey through Sudan and Egypt to the Mediterranean Sea. Jinja is known for its safari adventure activities, and the most popular safari activities here include white water rafting, bungee jumping, and quad biking.
