11-Day Ethical Uganda Journey

Upon arrival at Entebbe International Airport, you are warmly welcomed by your private Jeisking Tours guide. Without an overnight stop in Entebbe, you begin your journey north.

En route, stop at Ziwa Rhino Sanctuary for a guided on-foot rhino tracking experience. Led by professional rangers, this activity directly supports Uganda's rhino conservation and reintroduction program and follows strict ethical guidelines.

Continue onward to Murchison Falls National Park, arriving in the late afternoon.

Begin the day with a morning game drive on the northern savannah plains. Wildlife sightings may include elephants, giraffes, buffaloes, antelopes, and, occasionally, predators—viewed slowly and respectfully.

In the afternoon, enjoy a boat safari on the River Nile, cruising toward the base of Murchison Falls. This calm experience offers excellent birdlife and close, non-intrusive wildlife viewing.

After breakfast, visit the Top of Murchison Falls, where the Nile dramatically forces its way through a narrow gorge.

Later, begin the scenic drive southwest to Kibale Forest National Park, passing rural villages, farmlands, and tea plantations.

Today focuses on primates and people.

In the morning, enjoy chimpanzee tracking in Kibale Forest, conducted in small groups under strict regulations to ensure chimpanzee welfare.

In the afternoon, visit Bigodi Wetland Sanctuary, a community-run conservation project. The guided walk highlights birdlife, medicinal plants, and local livelihoods, with all proceeds directly benefiting community development.

After breakfast, transfer to Kasese, located at the foothills of the legendary Rwenzori Mountains.

The afternoon is relaxed. You may enjoy mountain views, visit nearby villages, or simply unwind at the lodge.

Enjoy a guided Rwenzori nature and community walk, led by a local mountain guide.

This non-technical hike explores forest trails, waterfalls, and farmland while highlighting:

• Mountain ecology
• Traditional agriculture
• Community life around the Rwenzori

This experience directly supports local guide associations and conservation initiatives.

After breakfast, drive into Queen Elizabeth National Park.

In the afternoon, take a boat safari on the Kazinga Channel, one of Africa's richest wildlife corridors. Expect hippos, elephants, crocodiles, and outstanding birdlife, all observed at a calm, respectful pace.

Start the day with a morning game drive through Queen Elizabeth's savannah plains.

After lunch, continue south to Bwindi Impenetrable Forest, home to the endangered mountain gorillas.

This morning, embark on gorilla trekking, one of the world's most strictly regulated wildlife experiences. Group sizes are limited, health protocols are enforced, and viewing time is carefully controlled to protect the gorillas.

After the trek and lunch, transfer to the tranquil Lake Bunyonyi, surrounded by terraced hills and rural communities.

Begin the day with a peaceful boat or canoe experience on Lake Bunyonyi, offering insight into island life, local farming, and birdlife.

Later, drive to Lake Mburo National Park, Uganda's smallest savannah park and one of the best destinations for walking safaris.

Start the final day with a guided walking safari, accompanied by an armed ranger. This allows close, respectful encounters with zebras, giraffes, impalas, and elands—without vehicles.

After breakfast, drive back to Entebbe for your international departure.
