This family adventure is a 2-week comprehensive exploration of Uganda. Together with your private guide, you will explore rainforests, savannas and mountains and encounter a host of wildlife, including of course the famous gorillas and chimps. This adventure vacation is as much about the scenic journey as it is about the destinations. Visit Jinja, Murchison Falls, Kibale Forest, Queen Elizabeth National Park and Bwindi Impenetrable Forest staying in luxury lodges, well located for your activities. Highlights include tracking gorillas and chimpanzees, game drives and boat cruises in search of big game, adrenalin activities in Jinja and interactions with the wonderful Ugandan people. Note that the minimum age for gorilla tracking is 15 years, so this itinerary is best suited for families with teens.
