12-DAY UGANDA–KENYA SAFARI FROM ENTEBBE

Days 1–2 | Entebbe – Gateway to Uganda

Begin your East African adventure in Entebbe, a peaceful lakeside town on the shores of Lake Victoria. Unlike the bustling streets of Kampala, Entebbe offers a calm, tropical start to your journey. Stroll through the botanical gardens, enjoy a sunset by the lake, or simply unwind as you prepare for the adventure ahead.

Days 2–5 | Bwindi Impenetrable Forest – The Realm of the Gorillas

Take a scenic charter flight to Bwindi Impenetrable Forest, a UNESCO World Heritage Site and home to nearly half of the world’s remaining mountain gorillas. Here, you’ll embark on a once-in-a-lifetime gorilla trekking experience, hiking through mist-shrouded hills and lush forests with expert guides to find these gentle giants in their natural home.
Beyond gorillas, Bwindi is alive with wildlife, from colobus monkeys and forest elephants to bushbucks and duikers. Over 300 bird species, butterflies, and rare flora fill this ancient rainforest. Between treks, visit local villages and learn about the vibrant Batwa culture.

Accommodation: Ichumbi Gorilla Lodge

Days 5–6 | Nairobi – Africa’s Safari Capital

Fly from Bwindi to Nairobi via Entebbe, arriving in Kenya’s lively capital city. Your driver will meet you at the airport and transfer you to your hotel, where you can relax after your flight. Enjoy the city’s modern comforts, sample Kenyan cuisine, or take a quiet evening stroll before your next leg into the wild.

Days 6–9 | Solio Game Reserve – The Land of Rhinos

After breakfast, visit the renowned David Sheldrick Elephant & Rhino Orphanage, where rescued baby elephants enjoy their daily mud bath and bottle feeding, an inspiring experience that showcases Kenya’s deep commitment to conservation.
Later, board your flight from Wilson Airport to Nanyuki, where you’ll transfer to the Solio Game Reserve, a lush sanctuary between the Aberdare Mountains and Mount Kenya. Spend three days surrounded by breathtaking scenery and abundant wildlife. Solio is world-famous for its black and white rhino population, along with giraffes, zebras, and elegant antelope. Enjoy guided game drives, bush picnics, and tranquil evenings by the fire under starlit skies.

Accommodation: Rhino Watch Safari Lodge or Soames Hotel Nanyuki (Mid-range)

Days 9–12 | Samburu National Reserve – Spirit of the North

Fly north to Samburu, a land of rugged beauty, red earth, and winding rivers. This is where Kenya’s wild soul beats strongest, home to elephants, leopards, and the unique “Samburu Five”: Grevy’s zebra, Somali ostrich, reticulated giraffe, Beisa oryx, and gerenuk.
Spend your days on exhilarating game drives, nature walks, and cultural visits to local Samburu villages. Take a camel ride across the plains, enjoy sundowners overlooking the Ewaso Nyiro River, and dine under a blanket of stars as traditional Samburu songs fill the air. Each evening, retreat to your comfortable lodge, blending rustic charm with African warmth.

Accommodation: Samburu Simba Lodge

Day 12 | Departure – Until We Meet Again

After breakfast, enjoy a final morning game drive before transferring to the Samburu airstrip for your light aircraft flight to Nairobi. Upon arrival, connect to Jomo Kenyatta International Airport for your onward flight home.
As you leave the vast African skies behind, you’ll carry with you the memory of mountain mists, thundering hooves, and the timeless rhythm of the savannah.
