Where the Nile squeezes through a dramatic 7-metre gorge, Uganda's largest national park brings river adventure and classic savannah together. Cruise to the foot of Murchison Falls, then explore the northern bank with an expert guide.

Wildlife highlights: elephants, giraffes, lions, buffalo, hippos and crocodiles, with excellent birding along the Nile. Add a chimpanzee walk in Budongo Forest or a relaxed boat safari for a richer itinerary.

Best for: first-time Uganda safaris, families, photographers and travellers who want big landscapes without rushing. Our Ugandan team has been tailoring trips since 2008, from practical budget journeys to private luxury.
