15-Day Luxury Uganda Flying Safari
(Trip Overview)
Fifteen days. Seven ecosystems. One extraordinary journey across Uganda. From the moment you arrive, every detail is taken care of. Private transfers and carefully chosen lodges sit above river bends, volcanic ridges, and ancient forests. You will visit Uganda's most famous wilderness areas: the remote savannahs of Kidepo Valley, where lions and cheetahs roam freely; the powerful Murchison Falls and the Nile; the green depths of Kibale Forest, home to chimpanzees; the hot springs of Semuliki; the wide-open spaces of Queen Elizabeth National Park and its Kazinga Channel; and finally, the misty highlands of Bwindi and Mgahinga, where you will meet mountain gorillas and golden monkeys in a peaceful setting. After each adventure, you return to some of Uganda's best lodges, canvas camps, and mountain retreats, where the scenery is part of the experience.

"We Spent Our Time in the Wild, Not on the Road"
"We Spent Our Time in the Wild, Not on the Road"
Fifteen days and we barely felt a transfer. Every flight put us straight into the next landscape - Kidepo one morning, the Nile the next. I've done safaris before where half the trip is spent in a vehicle. This wasn't that.
