6 days Uganda safari takes you to Queen Elizabeth, Kibale and Murchison Falls National Park for amazing wildlife encounters and the opportunity to spot all the big five mammals of Africa. The Murchison Falls National Park is the biggest wildlife conservation area in the country. It derives its name from the great Murchison Falls which are formed when the river Nile squeezes its way through a narrow gorge before dropping down 43 meters in a great roar.
Queen Elizabeth National Park is 
the most visited in Uganda. It stands out because of its unique scenery, physical features and tree climbing lions. Visitors do not only see wildlife but are rewarded with beautiful sightings of amazing gorges, forests, crater lakes, valleys and views of the Rwenzori mountains.
Kibale National Park on the other had is often referred to as the “primate’s capital of the world” because it has over 12 species of primates. The only thing it lacks are mountain gorillas. If it had them, it would be one of the most visited national parks in Africa.
This package is excellent for those who have already done gorilla tracking and now wish to explore what Uganda has to offer in terms of game safaris and the other small primates. The 6 days Uganda wildlife safari takes you for rhino tracking at the Ziwa Rhino sanctuary, chimpanzee trekking in Kibale National Park, game drives in Murchison Falls and Queen Elizabeth National Park. You will also have a boat cruise along the river Nile and the Kazinga channel for amazing encounters with wildlife. If you are not interested in gorilla trekking, this will be an excellent safari that will leave you with a great impression of Uganda and its wildlife. For a shorter safari, you might be interested in our 5 days Uganda safari package. The 7 days Uganda safari package is even longer and involves gorillas.

He will start the long journey to Murchison Falls National Park with stops at key points of interest including major towns and roadside markets.

Our Guide/Driver will share information about what happened during the rebellion and all other points of interest. Expect to see vast farms of 
in the country. Uganda once had both black and white rhinos roaming her national parks in the thousands. Unchecked poaching almost wiped them out. The government and wildlife conservation Agencies rescued the last of them and relocated them to this sanctuary. While at the sanctuary, a resident Guide/Ranger will take you to see the Rhinos and learn about the breeding program in place. There is hope that once their numbers increase enough, some will be reintroduced into the wild. Lunch will be at served at a restaurant in the sanctuary or in Masindi town. After lunch, the driver will continue to the park and take you directly to the top of the Murchison falls for beautiful views and photography.
Wake up early and take breakfast as you wait for the company Guide to come and pick you. The game drive will be done very early in the morning in order to spot birds and early risers at the northern section of the park. The morning hours are excellent for game drives because the sun is not yet too hot and animals are usually more active around this time. This is also the time to spot predators going back into their dens. Expect to spot water bucks, giraffes, warthogs, leopards, lions, hyenas, hartebeests, elephants and buffaloes among others. You will then return to the lodge for lunch and rest as you wait for the afternoon boat cruise at the Nile.

game drive, you will go back to the lodge for lunch and refreshment.
Park to see tree climbing lions. The Ishasha sector is less visited compared to Kasenyi and Mweya but the lions make it very attractive. On a typical afternoon, the lions can be seen resting on large fig and acacia trees as they wait for the next round of hunting. Researcher have failed to come up with a single reason as to why lions in Queen Elizabeth climb tries. One groups suggest that they do so to avoid biting insects on the ground but this is not a clear reason because it doesn’t explain why lions elsewhere remain on the ground despite having to deal with the same insects.
