8 Days Uganda & Rwanda Safari | Gorillas, Lions & Culture
Tour highlights
Experience the best of Uganda and Rwanda in just 8 days. This carefully designed cross-border safari takes you from the open savannas of Queen Elizabeth National Park, where elephants and lions roam, to the misty, volcanic slopes of Mgahinga and Volcanoes National Parks, home to mountain gorillas and golden monkeys. Along the way, you’ll cruise the Kazinga Channel alongside hippos and crocodiles, descend into the dramatic Kyambura Gorge to track wild chimpanzees, and spot the rare tree-climbing lions of Ishasha.
But this journey is more than wildlife alone. In Uganda, you’ll take time to connect with local life during a guided village walk, gaining insight into traditional farming, homesteads, and the rhythms of countryside living. And in Rwanda, you’ll reflect on the country’s resilience and transformation with a visit to the powerful Genocide Memorial Center in Kigali.
Whether you’re drawn to primates, scenic landscapes, or meaningful cultural encounters, this 8-day Uganda & Rwanda safari is a compact yet unforgettable experience through two of East Africa’s most captivating destinations.
