18-Day Kenya & Uganda Safari Journey

You arrive in Nairobi, where your East African journey begins. After a warm welcome, transfer to your hotel and settle in. Depending on your arrival time, enjoy a relaxed introduction to the city—Africa’s safari capital.

This morning, venture into Nairobi National Park, a rare wilderness set against a city skyline. Track lions, rhinos, giraffes, and more on a guided game drive before returning to the city for a restful evening.

Drive north through Kenya’s changing landscapes to Ol Pejeta Conservancy. Arrive in time for lunch, then head out for an afternoon game drive in this renowned sanctuary, home to East Africa’s largest population of black rhinos.

Continue into the wild north to Samburu National Reserve, a land of rugged beauty. In the afternoon, enjoy your first game drive in search of rare species unique to this region, including the Grevy’s zebra and reticulated giraffe.

Spend the day discovering Samburu’s quiet magic. With fewer crowds and dramatic scenery, each game drive feels intimate and rewarding.

Travel south to the tranquil shores of Lake Naivasha. In the afternoon, take a gentle boat ride across the lake, gliding past hippos and a rich variety of birdlife.

Journey onward to the world-famous Masai Mara. Arrive and head straight into the reserve for your first game drive across its endless plains.

Spend a full day exploring the Mara. This is big game country—home to lions, elephants, cheetahs, and, seasonally, the Great Migration.

With another full day, you have time to go deeper—tracking wildlife, following predator movements, and simply absorbing the rhythm of the savannah.

Return to Nairobi and catch your flight to Entebbe, Uganda. On arrival, transfer to your hotel and unwind ahead of the next chapter of your safari.

Drive north through Uganda’s countryside to Murchison Falls National Park. Visit the top of the falls, where the Nile squeezes through a narrow gorge in a powerful display of nature.

Begin with a morning game drive across the savannah, then in the afternoon, cruise along the Nile. Expect close encounters with hippos, crocodiles, and elephants along the riverbanks.

Travel through scenic landscapes to Kibale Forest National Park, often called the primate capital of the world.

Step into the forest for an unforgettable chimpanzee tracking experience. Later, enjoy a guided walk in Bigodi Wetland, rich in birds and local culture.

Continue to Queen Elizabeth National Park, arriving in time for an evening game drive as the savannah comes alive.

Start with a morning game drive, then cruise along the Kazinga Channel—one of the best places in Africa to see large concentrations of hippos and wildlife along the water.

Travel to Lake Mburo, a peaceful park known for its zebras, antelope, and acacia landscapes. Enjoy an evening game drive.

Begin your final day with a guided walking safari—an intimate way to experience the wild. Later, return to Entebbe for your departure, carrying unforgettable memories of East Africa.
