Explore Uganda’s wild rivers, misty forests, and extraordinary wildlife.

Overview

Explore Uganda’s wild rivers, misty forests, and extraordinary wildlife.

This 7-night adventure showcases two of East Africa’s greatest icons: the mighty Nile River and the mountain gorillas of Bwindi. Begin in Entebbe before heading to Lemala Wildwaters Lodge, set on a private island amid the Nile’s rushing rapids.

Continue to Murchison Falls, where the Nile plunges through a narrow gorge to form one of Africa’s most spectacular waterfalls. Here, boat safaris and game drives reveal both dramatic landscapes and abundant wildlife.

The journey concludes in Bwindi Impenetrable Forest, trekking through misty jungle trails for an unforgettable encounter with mountain gorillas in their natural habitat. This is a once-in-a-lifetime safari of rivers, waterfalls, and remarkable wildlife.
