Overview
Uganda packs forest, savannah and river into one compact circuit. You'll track a habituated chimpanzee community in Kibale, cruise the Kazinga Channel between two lakes crowded with wildlife, look for Ishasha's fig-tree lions, and finish at Murchison Falls where the entire Nile squeezes through a seven-metre gap and explodes into the gorge below.
