About this expedition
Uganda in nine days, through its wildlife, kingdoms, food, music and people. You start with a scenic domestic flight to Murchison Falls National Park, where the Top of the Falls, a sunrise game drive and a Nile boat safari set the scene, and a welcome performance of drums and dance gets things going. By road, you then travel to Fort Portal for the Amabere Caves, crater lakes and Sempaya Hot Springs, meet the Bakonzo people in the Rwenzori region, cruise the Kazinga Channel in Queen Elizabeth National Park and finish in Ankole country at Lake Mburo with a Signature Ugandan Cultural Night. A final stop at the Equator, with locally grown coffee, closes the trip.
