Book this 4-day Uganda safari if you’re visiting Uganda for the first time and have limited time for a longer tour. Uganda is a beautiful country blessed with diverse landscapes and rich wildlife. This package gives you the chance to track mountain gorillas in Bwindi Impenetrable National Park, enjoy game drives and a boat cruise in Queen Elizabeth National Park, and go chimpanzee trekking in Kalinzu Forest. The safari starts and ends in Entebbe or Kampala, with an option to start from Kigali, Rwanda upon request.

Your first destination is Bwindi Impenetrable National Park, a UNESCO World Heritage Site renowned for its incredible biodiversity. Bwindi is home not only to mountain gorillas but also chimpanzees, smaller primates, forest antelopes, and over 350 bird species. It was recently voted one of Africa’s top birding destinations. Gorilla trekking here offers a once-in-a-lifetime experience in lush tropical forests with breathtaking scenery.

After your gorilla encounter, you’ll travel to Queen Elizabeth National Park, Uganda’s most visited game reserve. The park is known for its stunning scenery, rolling green landscapes, and volcanic features such as crater lakes, salt lakes, and gorges formed by the East African Rift Valley. It is also home to the Maramagambo Forest and the spectacular Kyambura Gorge.

Queen Elizabeth boasts the largest population of tree-climbing lions in the world. During your stay, you’ll enjoy a morning game drive to spot lions, elephants, buffalo, antelope, and more. In the afternoon, you’ll take a boat cruise along the Kazinga Channel, which connects Lakes Edward and George. The channel attracts large numbers of birds and is a gathering place for hippos, elephants, and other wildlife.

On your final day, you’ll track chimpanzees in Kalinzu Forest, one of the best places in Uganda for reliable chimp sightings. While Queen Elizabeth also has chimpanzees in Kyambura Gorge, Kalinzu offers higher chances of encounters within a shorter time frame.

By the end of this safari, you’ll have experienced some of Uganda’s best wildlife highlights in just four days—perfect for travelers seeking adventure, variety, and unforgettable encounters in a short timeframe.
