Gorillas and the Nile
An hour with a gorilla family, then the river that begins here and ends in the Mediterranean.
Where
Uganda
Possible duration
7 to 10 days
Best time
June to September, December to February
It may suit
Active travellers and anyone returning to Africa for something new.
The idea
Uganda at its best: the forest, the falls and the river. More time on foot and on the water than in a vehicle.
This is an example of what we can create, not a fixed itinerary. The places, the length and the kind of stay all change with the traveller.
How it might unfold
The shape of the journey.
We show the shape of a journey rather than a day by day list. The detail comes once we know you.
Bwindi
Two or three nights. A full day of gorilla tracking with certified guides, and a community walk.
Murchison Falls
Two or three nights. Game drives and a boat to the foot of the falls.
Jinja
One or two nights. The source of the Nile, with rafting for those who want it.
Make it yours
Ways this journey often changes.
Add chimpanzees in Kibale. Combine with a few days in the Mara. Gorilla permits are limited, so plan early.
