About This Tour

A 20-day Great Lakes safari from Rwanda into Uganda — Akagera and Volcanoes National Parks, golden monkey and mountain gorilla tracking, the crater lakes around Kisoro, Lake Bunyonyi, Lake Mburo, tree-climbing lions, chimpanzee tracking, and Murchison Falls. Three nights are in Rwanda (Kigali, then Volcanoes National Park), before the route crosses into Uganda for the remaining sixteen nights — Kisoro, Bwindi, Lake Bunyonyi, Lake Mburo, Queen Elizabeth National Park, Kibale Forest, Murchison Falls, and Kampala — every night's hotel confirmed in whichever country you're actually in that day, with your private driver guide throughout.
