Uganda & Tanzania Safari and Lake Escape

East Africa is a land where adventure still roams free, where lions rule golden plains, gorillas whisper in misty forests, and turquoise lakes mirror endless skies. For travellers seeking an unforgettable blend of wildlife, culture, and serenity, Otter African Safaris’ 14-Day Uganda & Tanzania Safari and Lake Escape is the perfect journey.

From gorilla trekking in the lush jungles of Bwindi Impenetrable Forest to witnessing the great herds of Serengeti National Park and relaxing along the serene shores of Lake Victoria, this two-country experience captures the very essence of Africa’s wild beauty.

Day-by-Day Highlights

Days 1–3: Welcome to Uganda – The Pearl of Africa

Arrive in Entebbe and journey west toward the tropical haven of Kibale National Park, home to Africa’s highest concentration of chimpanzees. Trek through the rainforest to meet our closest relatives, the chimps, before heading to Queen Elizabeth National Park for classic savannah game drives and a scenic boat cruise along the Kazinga Channel, where hippos and elephants gather at sunset.

Days 4–6: Into the Misty Mountains – Bwindi Gorilla Trekking

Continue south to Bwindi Impenetrable Forest, a UNESCO World Heritage Site and home to half of the world’s remaining mountain gorillas. Trekking through ancient rainforest to spend an hour with these gentle giants is one of life’s most moving encounters, a soulful reminder of our connection to the natural world.

Days 7–9: Tanzania’s Endless Plains – Serengeti Safari

Cross into Tanzania and enter the legendary Serengeti National Park, a vast wilderness that defines the African safari experience. Witness the drama of the Great Migration (seasonal), track big cats across golden grasslands, and enjoy sundowners overlooking acacia-dotted horizons.

Days 10–12: The Ngorongoro Crater – Eden on Earth

Descend 600 meters into the breathtaking Ngorongoro Crater, where wildlife thrives in a self-contained paradise. Lions, rhinos, zebras, and flamingos share this ancient volcanic bowl, making for one of the most concentrated game-viewing experiences in Africa.

Days 13–14: Lake Escape – Relax by Lake Victoria

End your journey on the tranquil shores of Lake Victoria, Africa’s largest lake. Enjoy gentle boat rides, local fishing village visits, and time to unwind after days of exhilarating adventure. Watch the sun set across the water as you reflect on two weeks of unforgettable discovery.
