15-Day Uganda Walking Safari: Kidepo to Bwindi

Experience the wild beauty and cultural richness of Uganda on foot. This journey takes you from the remote wilderness of Kidepo Valley National Park to the misty forests of Bwindi Impenetrable National Park, with some of Africa's most breathtaking landscapes and wildlife encounters on the way.

Begin in the open savannahs of Kidepo, where lions, elephants and buffalo roam free under endless skies, and meet the Karamojong people on a cultural visit. Next, feel the power of Murchison Falls, where the Nile explodes through a narrow gorge; walking safaris here bring you close to giraffes, hippos and vibrant birdlife. Wander through the towering Borassus palm forest and along the peaceful shores of Lake Albert.

In Kibale National Park, trek to see chimpanzees in their natural habitat, then take a guided walk through the Bigodi Wetland Sanctuary, rich in birds and hidden wildlife. The highlight is gorilla trekking in Bwindi Impenetrable National Park: a hike deep into the forest to meet these gentle giants up close. End with a relaxed walking safari in Lake Mburo National Park, where zebras, impalas and warthogs greet you at every turn.
