Embark on a thrilling Uganda safari that combines primate trekking, wildlife viewing, and scenic river adventures. Begin with chimpanzee trekking in Kibale Forest National Park, one of Africa's richest primate habitats. Continue north to the mighty Nile River and Murchison Falls National Park, where elephants, lions, giraffes, and hippos roam freely, and the spectacular waterfall plunges into a narrow gorge. This 10-day safari blends adventure, relaxation, and cultural immersion, offering moments that are both awe-inspiring and intimate. From locking eyes with chimpanzees to cruising the Nile's glittering waters, every experience tells a story you'll never forget.
Arrive at Entebbe International Airport, where your friendly Asili Africa Expeditions guide will meet you. Transfer to your hotel in Entebbe and unwind while enjoying the views of Lake Victoria, Africa's largest lake. Use this time to rest, refresh, and prepare for your upcoming adventures.

Stop at the Uganda Equator for photos and lunch in Mbarara. Continue to your lodge nestled in the rainforest, surrounded by chirping birds and the sounds of nature.
Today's adventure is chimpanzee trekking. Accompanied by expert park rangers, trek through dense rainforest in search of these fascinating primates.
