2026 Itinerary: 10 Days in Uganda’s Wild Places

Day 1: Arrival in Entebbe & Shoebill search at Mabamba Swamp

Welcome to Uganda! Our guide picks you up at the airport and transfers you to Tilapia Lodge, set in a jungle garden by the shores of Lake Victoria. If time allows, we head to Mabamba Swamp for a canoe ride through papyrus channels in search of the Great Shoebill Stork, a prehistoric-looking bird and a true birding highlight.

Overnight at Tilapia Lodge

 

Day 2: Ziwa Rhino Sanctuary & Transfer to Murchison Falls NP & visit top of falls

We set off early for the scenic journey north. Along the way we stop at Ziwa Rhino Sanctuary for a guided walk to see the southern white rhinos. Here you get to see rhinos in the wild.

Overnight at Hornbill Bush Lodge

 

Day 3: Game Drive & Nile Boat-Cruise

A full day of safari action! We start with a morning game drive on the savannah, spotting giraffes, elephants, lions and more. Then in the afternoon enjoy a relaxing boat cruise to the base of the falls, seeing hippos, crocodiles, and birdlife along the way.

Day 5: Transfer to Queen Elizabeth NP & village walk

This morning gives a scenic drive south through rural Uganda. We pass villages and lush farmland as we head toward Fort Portal and countinue through the crater lakes region to the lodge by Queen Elizabeth NP.
