10-Day Classic Uganda Photography Circuit
Gorillas, Chimps, Wetlands & Savanna
Trip Code: UPHMSU-006
Destinations: Bwindi • Queen Elizabeth NP • Kibale Forest • Mabamba
Uganda's essential photographic journey. Gorilla trekking in Bwindi's ancient forest, chimpanzee tracking in Kibale, tree-climbing lions at Ishasha, the spectacular Kazinga Channel boat cruise, and the iconic Shoebill at Mabamba Swamp — a complete cross-section of Uganda's unique wildlife in ten immersive days.
9-Day Gorilla & Wildlife Photography Safari
Face to Face with the Mountain Gorillas
Trip Code: UPHMSU-020
Destinations: Bwindi Impenetrable Forest • Queen Elizabeth NP • Lake Mburo
Center this journey on the most powerful wildlife encounter in Africa — mountain gorillas face-to-face in Bwindi's misty ancient forest. Add back-to-back game drives in Queen Elizabeth NP for buffalo, elephants, and hippo along the Kazinga Channel, and finish with zebra under open acacia skies at Lake Mburo.
8-Day Murchison Falls & Forest Photography
Power, Primates & the Pearl of Africa
Trip Code: UPHMSU-021
Destinations: Murchison Falls NP • Kibale Forest • Semuliki NP
A powerful combination of Uganda's north and west. At Murchison Falls, photograph the Big Five on open savanna and along the Nile at golden hour. In Kibale, track habituated chimpanzees through cathedral-canopy forest. Semuliki adds rare Congo Basin species — a bonus for any wildlife photographer's portfolio.
7-Day Essential Uganda Wildlife Photography
The Complete Beginner to Wildlife Photographer
Trip Code: UPHMSU-022
Destinations: Mabamba • Queen Elizabeth NP • Bwindi
Seven days, three iconic destinations, a lifetime of portfolio images. Start with the Shoebill at Mabamba for wetland photography, move to Queen Elizabeth NP for African big game and the legendary Kazinga Channel boat cruise, and culminate with mountain gorilla trekking in the ancient forests of Bwindi.
8-Day Savanna & Forest Photography Safari
From Open Plains to Ancient Canopy
Trip Code: UPHMSU-017
Destinations: Lake Mburo NP • Queen Elizabeth NP • Kibale Forest
Move through Uganda's most contrasting landscapes in a single sweep. Open acacia savanna and zebra at Lake Mburo; the Kazinga Channel writhing with hippos and elephants at Queen Elizabeth; then the deep primate forest of Kibale where habituated chimpanzees perform daily for dedicated photographers.
8-Day Gorillas, Volcanoes & Wildlife Photography
Where Mist, Lava & Wildlife Unite
Trip Code: UPHMSU-036
Destinations: Bwindi • Mgahinga NP • Lake Mburo NP
Two of Uganda's most dramatic environments — the ancient forest of Bwindi draped in cloud and the volcanic peaks of Mgahinga, where golden monkeys leap through bamboo and mountain gorillas move across ancient lava fields. Return via Lake Mburo for savanna wildlife and stunning evening light over the reed beds.
11-Day Grand Uganda Photography Safari
The Full Spectrum of Uganda's Wildlife
Trip Code: UPHMSU-008
Destinations: Murchison Falls • Kibale • Queen Elizabeth • Bwindi • Mabamba
Eleven days designed for the photographer who wants it all without compromise.
