Uganda and Kenya Wildlife Circuit

A Storytelling Safari Journey Through the Heart of East Africa.

There are journeys you take for leisure, and then there are journeys that change you.
The 12-Day Wildlife Circuit: Uganda + Kenya is one of those rare adventures where every sunrise feels like a promise and every sunset tells a story older than time itself.

With Otter African Safaris, this carefully crafted itinerary blends iconic wildlife, breathtaking landscapes, and authentic cultural encounters across two of Africa’s most celebrated safari destinations.

Welcome to the ultimate East African safari experience.

Day 1: Arrival in Entebbe – The Gateway to the Pearl of Africa

Your story begins as you land in Entebbe, Uganda, greeted by warm smiles and the gentle breeze from Lake Victoria. After a relaxed transfer to your lodge, you settle in, shaking off travel fatigue and soaking in the excitement of what lies ahead.

Tonight, Africa whispers her first welcome.

Day 2: Into the Wild – Ziwa Rhino Sanctuary & Murchison Falls

Heading north, the landscape slowly changes from lush greenery to rural villages and open savannahs. At Ziwa Rhino Sanctuary, you step out on foot to track Uganda’s only wild rhinos. Standing meters away from these ancient giants is a humbling, unforgettable moment.

Later, you enter Murchison Falls National Park, where the Nile roars through a narrow gorge with raw power. A short hike to the top of the falls seals the day with awe.

Day 3: Game Drives & Nile Safari – Murchison Falls National Park

Dawn breaks over the savannah. Lions stretch in the golden light, elephants cross dusty tracks, giraffes move like poetry across the plains.
An afternoon boat safari on the Nile brings you close to hippos, crocodiles, and abundant birdlife, ending near the base of the thunderous falls.

This is safari at its most dramatic.

Day 4: Forests to Lakes – Journey to Kibale

You travel south through changing ecosystems, from savannah to tropical forest. Tea plantations roll endlessly into the horizon as you approach Kibale Forest National Park, home to the highest concentration of primates in Africa.

Day 5: Chimpanzee Tracking & Bigodi Community Walk

Morning brings the thrill of chimpanzee tracking. The forest echoes with calls, branches shake, and suddenly you’re face-to-face with our closest relatives in the wild.

In the afternoon, a Bigodi Wetlands community walk introduces you to local culture, storytelling, and conservation in action.

Day 6: Queen Elizabeth National Park – The Land of Tree-Climbing Lions

As you enter Queen Elizabeth National Park, wildlife appears everywhere. Buffalo herds, antelope, and elephants accompany your drive.
Later, a boat cruise on the Kazinga Channel delivers one of the highest wildlife concentrations in Africa, an effortless parade of life.

Day 7: Ishasha Sector to Bwindi – In Search of Giants

The famous tree-climbing lions of Ishasha lounge in fig trees before you continue into the misty highlands of Bwindi Impenetrable Forest. The air is cooler, the forest ancient, and anticipation builds.

Day 8: Gorilla Trekking – A Life-Changing Encounter

This is the day many travellers dream of. Tracking mountain gorillas through dense forest is challenging, emotional, and profoundly rewarding. When you finally sit quietly in their presence, watching them interact, play, and observe,e your time seems to stop. You leave changed. Everyone does.

Day 9: Fly to Kenya – From Forests to Plains

After breakfast, you transfer to your flight to Nairobi, Kenya. A new chapter begins as East Africa unfolds once more—this time in wide-open plains and legendary reserves.

Day 10: Masai Mara – Where the Wild Rules

Arriving in the Masai Mara National Reserve, you enter one of the world’s most famous safari landscapes. Vast grasslands stretch endlessly, dotted with acacia trees and alive with predators and prey. An afternoon game drive introduces you to the rhythm of the Mara.

Day 11: Full Day Safari – The Great African Theatre

Today is dedicated entirely to wildlife. Lions hunt, cheetahs sprint, elephants roam, and—season permitting the Great Migration floods the plains with wildebeest and zebra.

As the sun sets, you enjoy a sundowner, reflecting on how far you’ve come and how deeply Africa has etched itself into your soul.

Day 12: Farewell to the Wild – Departure

After breakfast, you return to Nairobi for your onward journey. You leave with thousands of photos, more importantly, stories, emotions, and memories that will stay with you forever.
