8 Days Uganda Family Luxury Safari

The 8 Days Uganda Family Luxury Safari visits three of Uganda's most iconic parks with no compromise on family comfort. The safari opens with a rhino walking encounter at Ziwa Rhino Sanctuary, the only place in Uganda where you can stand metres from wild southern white rhinos. Murchison Falls delivers the drama: a Nile game drive past giraffes and lions, a boat cruise to the base of the world's most powerful waterfall, and the sight of the Victoria Nile exploding through its 7-metre gorge.

Kibale Forest brings the family into primate country: a chimpanzee trek for adults, an educational forest walk for younger children, the Bigodi Wetland for the bird lovers, and lunch at Tinka's Homestay for a taste of authentic Ugandan family life. The finale at Queen Elizabeth adds a Kazinga Channel boat cruise with over 100 mammal species and 600 bird species on offer.

Looking for a gorilla addition for the family? The 10 Days Uganda Safari Holiday incorporates Bwindi gorilla trekking into a similar circuit. The 5 Days Gorilla Trekking Safari is the focused gorilla option for families with older children.
